Repo sync failed : invalid branch name

[linux...@gmail.com]

Dear all,

I am following the steps mentioned in
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/Preparing_for_your_first_B2G_build to build Firefox OS for emulator-x86.

But during configuration i am getting the following error.


[dhyan@dhyan B2G]$ sudo ./config.sh emulator-x86
File "./repo", line 220
print("fatal: invalid branch name '%s'" % branch, file=sys.stderr)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Repo sync failed

Can some on please help on fixing this ?

Thanks
dhyan

Commit fa9c01dd7 updates to a new version of repo, which appears to be
compatible with Python 3 instead of 2.x only, but now requires at least
Python 2.6.

(Specifically: Python 3 replaced the print statement syntax with a
function named "print", as seen in the error message above; Python 2.6+
supports it if you opt in with "from __future__ import print_function",
as the new repo script does.)

Hi,

as already explained in the thread, you need at least python 2.6.
