Description Benjamin Schmaus 2016-09-14 12:48:19 UTC
Description of problem:

The Python proliant-tools library is packaged as an RPM, but it depends on a set of closed-source CLI tools. These CLI tools are available as an RPM, but not through normal channels, so must be installed by fetching the RPM from a URL. This patch 

- splits the proliant-tools element into proliant-lib (the Python library) and proliant-utilities (the CLI tools) 
- adds a package installation method for proliant-lib

The fact that they're closed source means that this is something that Red Hat cannot ship or support or include in our images.  Upstream is welcome to add this element, but if it gets included in the default elements for the ipa ramdisk, we have to actually patch it out downstream.
