Re: Nmap 4.22SOC6 Released

[João Paulo de Souza Medeiros <ignotus21 () gmail com>]

Hi friends,

    First, congratulations for the great work. I see one problem when 
Umit search for insteled versions with svn command:

svn: '.' is not a working copy
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "install_scripts/utils/version_update.py", line 43, in ?
    REVISION = umit_revision()
  File "install_scripts/utils/version_update.py", line 40, in umit_revision
    return re.findall("revision=\"(\d+)\"", stdout.read())[0]
IndexError: list index out of range

In the Umit trunk this is fixed, for Windows and Linux.

Att, ignotus.
