For reasons stated in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=495680#c30 we will need in RHEL5.5 new package python-dmidecode. It is already in RHEL, just not baseOS but MRG only. Since it is already in MRG I did not create Package Review bugzilla. Let me know if you feel it is neccessary. I would also note, that there exist BZ for inclusion in RHEL6. It is not filled by me, but decision about that bug, may be based on decision on this bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=545171 I assume that maintainer of this package can be current maintainer of this package from MRG, but I did not asked him about this.
I am willing to continue maintaining this package. I'm responsible for the MRG, Fedora and EPEL packages of python-dmidecode already, and have invested a lot of time in the development of this module.
