Since Drizzle7 already has dependency needs from EPEL in both 5 and 6, I don't think this is a problem. I co-own the python26 side-by-side install which exists in EPEL 5. For the RPM builds, we would simply need to "BuildRequires: python26", and call "/usr/bin/python2.6" explicitly to run dbqp.py. This would happen automagically in the RPM since we override __python to point to this binary for python26 builds. Should there be other python dependencies, they would need to be provided by a similar "python26-xxxxx" package in EPEL (which we [read I] can add if missing". The only python dep we currently have in the RPM spec is for python-uuid which was added in python 2.6 and would no longer be required. --- derks _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
