Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Doug Turner (:dougt)]

When trying to setup a new clone based on mozilla-central, i followed the directions here:

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Publishing_Mercurial_Clones


I choose "Option 1" to clone a public repo.  The result was:


starfish:~ dougt$ ssh hg.mozilla.org clone geolocation
Making repo geolocation for [e-mail].
This repo will appear as hg.mozilla.org/users/[e-mail]/geolocation
If you need a top level repo, please quit now and file a bug for IT to create one for you

2) no.

You can clone an existing public repo or a users private repo.
You can also create an empty repository.

NameError: global name 'subprocess' is not defined


Note that this problem is because the version of python on this box does not have the subprocess module.

The work around is to select option 3 and create a empty repo.  Then pull from mozilla-central locally. And push everything back.

yeah, sorry it's not that the module doesn't exist, it's that it's a module, so the python needs:

using subprocess

somewhere....

Please file a new bug rather than reopening a bug from 2008 that most likely has nothing to do with the current issue.
