Re: [Wlug] Release cycle for RHEL / CentOS 6

by John Stoffel

Just a quick question, but what feature of Python 2.7 did the hook depend on and could it have been re-written to only need Python 2.6 instead? Seems like a lot of work, and now a bunch more dependencies and hacks to rebuild this system when/if it dies, just to make a developer happy. Not saying this is bad... but maybe saying that core production systems should *try* to stay as simple as possible. And no, I don't always follow my own advice here. Just trying to get you to give us more info on your process here, since I think it's a good example of the balance we all have to try and achieve in our $WORK.

Thank you for your prompt replies! Karl, the iuscommunity repo is exactly what I needed. Also, it has some other packages that I've had to install directly so this is even better! thanks guys, see you next meeting.

Release cycle for RHEL / CentOS 6

by Eric Martin

Hi All, The subversion server at my office is on a CentOS 6 server, and a software developer wrote a hook in python for it. The hook requires python 2.7, but CentOS 6 only has 2.6.6 (python-2.6.6-36.el6 to be exact). I grabbed python-2.7.2-5.2.fc16.src.rpm from Fedora 16 and am trying to roll my own via instructions I found on the CentOS wiki. All is good except that it requires db4.8, and that's not out for RHEL6 either. >From where I stand, it looks like my options are: 1) wait this out until either Python or a dependency are pushed up, but when is that? 2) rebuild this package with the deps, but I'm not quite sure how to roll a -devel package 3) roll my own package from scratch 4) install python 2.7 in an alternate location and point to it for this script Since this is a production server, I'd rather no do any hacks on this. Does anybody know how the release schedule works, or have any other advice? Thanks in advance, -- Eric Martin

Re: [Wlug] Did anybody show up last night?

by The Hammer

Hi Tim, John and I were the only ones who showed that I know of. We stayed till about 7:15. I checked my email and the LUG website before I left (just in case). I understand that things sometimes happen, but found it amazing that only two of us showed.
