Created attachment 558870 [details] patch to python-nose.spec See this page for the background: https://home.corp.redhat.com/wiki/OpenStack Current upstream python-nose is 1.1.2 (the website claims 1.1.3, but I cannot find an actual download for that version). The version in RHEL 6 is 0.10.4 and hasn't been updated since 2008. For OpenStack testing we'd like a more recent version. I checked the changelog file in the upstream sources, and there are a considerable number of changes. Most of them are bug fixes but there are significant new features too. It is unclear if the new version of nose would require changes in other python packages. No package Requires python-nose, but it could be used as a BuildRequire for a package (how to check?) The change to the spec file to support the new version is minimal, see attachment.
These packages appear to BR python-nose: TurboGears2-0:2.0.3-4.el6.src numpy-0:1.3.0-6.2.el6.src python-decorator-0:3.0.1-3.1.el6.src python-formencode-0:1.2.2-2.1.el6.src python-mako-0:0.3.4-1.el6.src python-peak-util-assembler-0:0.5.1-1.el6.src python-peak-util-symbols-0:1.0-4.1.el6.src python-pylons-0:0.9.7-2.el6.src python-repoze-what-0:1.0.8-6.el6.src python-repoze-what-plugins-sql-0:1.0-0.6.rc1.el6.src python-repoze-what-quickstart-0:1.0.1-1.el6.src python-repoze-who-friendlyform-0:1.0-0.3.b3.el6.src python-repoze-who-plugins-sa-0:1.0-0.4.rc1.el6.src python-routes-0:1.10.3-2.el6.src python-simplejson-0:2.0.9-3.1.el6.src python-sqlalchemy-0:0.5.5-2.1.el6.src python-tempita-0:0.4-2.el6.src python-turbojson-0:1.2.1-8.1.el6.src python-weberror-0:0.10.2-1.el6.src python-webflash-0:0.1-0.2.a9.el6.src python-webhelpers-0:0.6.4-4.el6.src python-webob-0:0.9.6.1-3.el6.src python-webtest-0:1.2-2.el6.src yum-0:3.2.29-22.el6.src python-elixir-0:0.6.1-5.el6.src python-paver-0:1.0-4.el6.src python-sphinx-0:0.6.6-2.el6.src
I rebuilt all of the packages above in RHEL 6.3 using python-nose 1.1.2. Errors only are noted below. python-repoze-what-quickstart Could not be rebuilt because of missing deps: python-repoze-who-plugins-sa is needed by python-repoze-what-quickstart-1.0.1-1.el6.noarch python-repoze-what-plugins-sql is needed by python-repoze-what-quickstart-1.0.1-1.el6.noarch TurboGears2 Could not be rebuilt because of missing deps: python-tw-forms is needed by TurboGears2-2.0.3-4.el6.noarch python-repoze-what-quickstart is needed by TurboGears2-2.0.3-4.el6.noarch python-pylons Multiple test suite errors python-simplejson Multiple test suite errors, but they all appeared to be because of this: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'decoder' python-webob: Multiple test suite errors of two kinds: NameError: name 'res2' is not defined OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/docs/test-file.txt'

python-iptables, needed for StarCluster, requires nose >= 1.0. Would be nice to see this updated.
