+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #479261 +++ Description of problem: Packages: - dmraid-events-1.0.0.rc13-33.el5.i386.rpm - sgpio-1.2.0_10-2.el5.i386.rpm are not in default installation of RHEL. SGPIO and dmevent_tool are necessary to support all features offered by DMRAID application. Is there possibility to add these packages to default installation in RHEL 5.3? --- Additional comment from krzysztof.wojcik on 2009-01-19 03:09:42 EDT --- Installer dosed not include these packages to installation by default. Could you add them to list? --- Additional comment from ddumas on 2009-01-29 09:25:27 EDT --- We need to be sure that the SGPIO package is included during installations, but also that "yum update" will pick it up too, and people won't be able to accidentally delete it (and then break their dmraid setup). Thus we need to make the dmraid and the mdadm packages require the sgpio package. Actually, any other package utilizing LED management via sgpio should require the sgpio package, but these are the only two I know of. This way, if a user installs the dmraid event handling package, the sgpio package will be pulled in automatically.
Cloned for mdadm to request packaging change - require sgpio
There's nothing to be done here for mdadm. The mdadm program does not support or use the SGPIO package.
