Go to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL and install the appropriate repository for RHEL 5. These are extra packages packaged for RHEL 5. I maintain the ReviewBoard package in EPEL. It's currently limited to ReviewBoard 1.5.x because EPEL 5 only supports Django 1.1.4, which is not recent enough to support ReviewBoard 1.6.x. If 1.5 is sufficient, you can install it by adding the EPEL repository as described in the link above and then running 'yum install reviewboard', followed by 'rb-site install /path/to/installation'. To note: RHEL 5 has older versions of some client libraries, so the graphical rb-site doesn't work. It will fall back to the text-based interface. If you absolutely must have ReviewBoard 1.6, then I recommend doing the following: yum install ReviewBoard python-setuptools yum remove ReviewBoard Django easy_install ReviewBoard The reason for installing and uninstalling is that this will pull in the dependencies you need, and then you can just remove ReviewBoard itself. Then you can use Python's easy_install to get the latest ReviewBoard and dependencies. Be aware that this is a tricky environment, because if easy_install replaces any components that were installed by yum, a later 'yum update' of the system may cause them to revert. For this reason I recommend using the RPM package of ReviewBoard 1.5.x (or upgrade to RHEL 6 and use the ReviewBoard 1.6.x package available there). -- Want to help the Review Board project?
