Escalated to Bugzilla from IssueTracker
Event posted on 09-08-2009 11:15am EDT by kbaxley There's a project underway in Fedora 12 to finally resolve the issues with Red Hat including #!/usr/bin/env python in our python executables: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SystemPythonExecutablesUseSystemPython There's also a Fedora bug opened on this, and comments in there state that this is a big priority for RHEL6: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=518994 For RHEL5, we've been instructed by Product Management to open bugs on a package-by-package basis to address the problem. In this case, the kernel-devel package set in RHEL5 has at least one instance of a python script containing #!/usr/bin/env python. They were found in: kernel-debug-devel kernel-xen-devel kernel-devel kernel-PAE-devel This event sent from IssueTracker by kbaxley [LLNL (HPC)] issue 339840
