flexget broken

[hojnikb]

It appears that flexget is broken again (well atleast for me)
this is what i get

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')root@kirkwood ~]# flexget

Never seen error like yours, but the last problem that I had (and noticed yesterday) is "requests" required < 1.9.9 so installed the lastest available that's not 2.00
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'easy_install-2.7 requests==1.2.3')

i finally got it working. It looks like some of the python2 packages got curropt or something, because when i reinstalled all of them, which flexget depends on, it started to work again. I seriously dont know, why this happens. Currpotions and such.

Does arch support anything else than ext2 ? i guess journal could help with such currpotions.

Also, is there a replacement for flexget, that doesn't brake everytime i update python .. ?

Arch kernel supports ext 2,3,4 but u-boot only supports ext2. Ext 3 is an extension to ext2 so it can read ext3 as well. It was actually discussed before. All you need to do is change from ext2 to ext3 and change the rootfstype variable in uboot to ext3. Better yet you can have a separate boot partition which is ext2/3 and roots on ext4. I did it on all my devices and haven't had a problem since.

The problem with flexget is that arch's packages are usually too new for it. I don't mind it though, just make it habit to check after every update if it works with "flexget --test"
