Description Thorsten Leemhuis 2007-12-09 13:23:45 UTC
Not all deps from bodhi-server are in EL5 and EPEL5:

package: bodhi-server - 0.4.4-1.el5.noarch from epel5-testing
   unresolved deps: 
      yum-utils >= 0:1.1.7
      mash

Note that yum-utils 1.0.4 is part of RHEL since 5.1; I'd say it's unlikely that
1.1.7 makes it into it in the near future

Maybe just ship bodhi in EPEL without the server bits?

I far as i remember so i bodhi user a recent added command line option to
repoquery, i will look into backport it into yum-utils 1.0.x and make a 1.0.5
release, so can bodhi depend on yum-utils-1.0.5 in EPEL5.

thx tim -- but actually the situation is a bit more complicated: yum-utils will
be dropped from EPEL5 soon, as it's now in RHEL since 5.1 and we don#t want to
replace it in EPEL.

So we'd need to get the patch (once one exists) into RHEL, which I suppose is
way more complicated and likely something that will take a while.

I had forgot about that

Luke: how important is the 'repoquery --repofrompath=repo,path' for the bodhi
operation, can we live without it ??.

Some solutions:

1. distribute a special repoquery with bodhi ( in /usr/share/bodhi), this will
remove the yum-utils dependency.

2. remove bodhi from EPEL5, this will not be a good choice. It don't think it
make sense to remove the bodhi server parts only, it is the server parts there
is most interesting on a EL system.

The --repofrompath is used during the updateinfo.xml.gz generation to get the
rpm checksums.  However, there is currently a ticket open requesting that we
remove them, as they don't seem to be very useful, and it's duplicate
information in the repodata.

   https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/262

So, I'd be happy to remove this strict dependency from bodhi by no longer
fetching the checksums.  This will also make pushing a lot faster :)

Waiting for python-elixir to grow an EL-5 branch.  This bug will be resolved soon.

Comment 6 Luke Macken 2008-05-13 01:48:10 UTC
I've been using EL-5 bodhi for a while now, with no issues.  Closing...
