Re: [ansible-project] rpm-python centos5 package package_facts

[Matt Martz]

It creates a handful of RPMs that have to be installed, they are just the
python 2.4 RPMs patched to build python 2.6 versions. They install
alongside the existing python2.4 RPMs and should not interfere with them.

Re: [ansible-project] rpm-python centos5 package package_facts

[Adam E]

hey Matt,  just to ensure i'm clear, after the rebuild do you just need to 
install the rpm-python26 rpm or does it create rebuilt versions of the yum 
and rpm distributions as well that all need to also be updated.

if it's only rpm-python then I may give your build a shot, but I tried a 
bunch of things and I assume that there are newer versions of rpm libraries 
needed as well which look to be what your build is doing ;-) .  That 
doesn't look like fun, pretty impressive though ;-)

Re: [ansible-project] rpm-python centos5 package package_facts

[Adam E]

hi Steve.  the python interpreter is not the issue.  I am using python 2.6 
without issues, the issue is the dependency on the rpm-python os package 
(python library).   I cannot find/install this for centos5.   the "rpm" 
library is not part of the standard python distro, it's an extra library.

Re: [ansible-project] rpm-python centos5 package package_facts

[Matt Martz]

I did some experimenting with this about a year ago.  I have a repo that
has a playbook that can build the packages for EL5 using python2.6 from
EPEL.

NOTE: I don't necessarily recommend this, it was an experiment to see if it
could be done

WARNING: Proceed at your own risk ;)

https://github.com/sivel/el5-python26-rpm

The last release of Ansible to support EL5 natively was Ansible 2.3

Re: [ansible-project] rpm-python centos5 package package_facts

[S C Rigler]

If you can install a newer python on the machines you should be able
to manage them by setting the inventory variable
"ansible_python_interpreter" for them to the path of the alternate
python interpreter.

[ansible-project] rpm-python centos5 package package_facts

[Adam E]

hey there, i'm trying to manage a bunch of centos5/rhel5 systems with 
ansible 2.7.5

On the target host I am able to install python 2.6 from epel which is all 
good and ansible runs just fine for most stuff.   The issue is with 
anything related to packages (ie . package_facts and package).  They both 
rely on the "rpm" python library.


Problem is, I can't figure out how to install this library on centos 5.  
 It seems the library is not available in epel 


I tried building from source  but I 
then get the error below:
# python26
Python 2.6.8 (unknown, Nov  7 2012, 14:47:45)
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-52)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import rpm
rpm.py:15: UserWarning: The RPM Python bindings are not currently available 
via PyPI.


Please install them with your distro package manager (typically called
'python2-rpm' or 'python3-rpm'), and ensure that any virtual environments
needing the API are configured to be able to see the system site packages
directory.


  warnings.warn(warning_msg)
>>>


If I can't get this working, I guess my only options are to either just not 
manage packages on the legacy centos/rhel5 boxes or see about running an 
older version (multiple versions) of ansible within AWX.

Just wondering if anyone has went through this already and can provide any 
tips.
