Description

Pexpect is available in High Availability repository. Server repository itself doesn't contain it. Closing bug as NOTABUG, because pexpect should be used only by fence-agents package. yumex from EPEL v6 has pexpect as a dependency, how to install this on a normal Server/Desktop? I'm changing component to distribution, because bug is not in pexpect but in distribution. Main problem seems to be, that pexpect is only used by fence-agents package and this is why it is only in HA. yumex is not supported in RHEL, but there may be chance to use it on server by customers. *** Bug 643299 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** As a frequent python coder, I think pexpect should pretty certainly be included in the server repository. Of course this is only my opinion. What are the criteria for inclusion other than direct requirement by something else that is included? There seems to be an pexpect-2.3-6.el6.noarch.rpm on the RHEL6-Server-Install-CD, however it is not found in RHN? (In reply to comment #15) > There seems to be an pexpect-2.3-6.el6.noarch.rpm on the > RHEL6-Server-Install-CD, however it is not found in RHN? It's in RHN, but not in the base channel. In RHEL 6.0, pexpect is only available through the High Availability channel. The goal of this package is to move the package into the base channel. # pwd /mnt/redhat/nightly/RHEL6.1-20110206.n.0/6 # find -name "pexpect*" | sort ./Client/optional/i386/os/Packages/pexpect-2.3-6.el6.noarch.rpm ./Client/optional/source/SRPMS/pexpect-2.3-6.el6.src.rpm ./Client/optional/x86_64/os/Packages/pexpect-2.3-6.el6.noarch.rpm ./ComputeNode/optional/source/SRPMS/pexpect-2.3-6.el6.src.rpm ./ComputeNode/optional/x86_64/os/Packages/pexpect-2.3-6.el6.noarch.rpm ./Server/i386/os/Packages/pexpect-2.3-6.el6.noarch.rpm ./Server/i386/os/Server/Packages/pexpect-2.3-6.el6.noarch.rpm ./Server/optional/source/SRPMS/pexpect-2.3-6.el6.src.rpm ./Server/source/SRPMS/pexpect-2.3-6.el6.src.rpm ./Server/x86_64/os/Packages/pexpect-2.3-6.el6.noarch.rpm ./Server/x86_64/os/Server/Packages/pexpect-2.3-6.el6.noarch.rpm ./source/SRPMS/pexpect-2.3-6.el6.src.rpm ./Workstation/i386/os/Packages/pexpect-2.3-6.el6.noarch.rpm ./Workstation/i386/os/Workstation/Packages/pexpect-2.3-6.el6.noarch.rpm ./Workstation/optional/source/SRPMS/pexpect-2.3-6.el6.src.rpm ./Workstation/source/SRPMS/pexpect-2.3-6.el6.src.rpm ./Workstation/x86_64/os/Packages/pexpect-2.3-6.el6.noarch.rpm ./Workstation/x86_64/os/Workstation/Packages/pexpect-2.3-6.el6.noarch.rpm For Server and Workstation variants pexpect is on the system-admin-tools group in comps.xml. For the other variants it is in the optional repo. Moving to VERIFIED. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report.
