Hi there,

for fixing the current Buildbot failures I still have to fight down several RPM tests. They check the names of the created RPM files, which differ depending on the used hardware/os combination. I'd like to wrap the original RPM functions for canonicalizing machine/system names and all the supporting stuff to a Python module, but I can't make up my mind about where the file should go. It should be possible to import it from the RPM/packaging stuff and the test suite in QMTest as well.

My suggestion would be a new file "rpmrc.py" in the SCons/Tools dir, alongside the "rpm.py" tool.
Does this make sense or do we have a better place?

Best regards,

Dirk

P.S.: For cases like this it would be cool to have a "scons-common" package with stuff that can get used by SCons itself, the test framework and perhaps even Parts. It could offer basic things like "starting processes, is-this-a-list?" and similar stuff, which are partly spread over the whole codebase in different variations...
