The correct version wasn't specified in the spec though and the resultant error crashed RHEL once: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=753505 I hacked together an updated python-nose to allow running sqlalchemy %checks which passed, but then disabled the %checks so as not to need a newer python-nose (and the newer packages it in turn needs to be built with). >> >> In case it's of use, you can find the RHEL python-sqlalchemy-0.6.8 packages I was testing with, here http://www.pixelbeat.org/openstack/ >> > Cool. Will Openstack work with SQLAlchemy0.7? I ask because I'm always looking for ways to reduce work and if we can use the latest SQLAlchemy that will mean we don't have to maintain both python-sqlalchemy0.6 and python-sqlalchemy0.7 packages down the road. Yes it probably makes sense to jump to 0.7. Mark McLoughlin fixed a load of migration issues with 0.7 (F16) and pushed those fixes upstream, so it should work. Note I'm testing with getting openstack to monkey patch sqlalchemy, which avoids epel having to host an updated version of this package. It is quite a small patch at present. There are risks we'll hit bugs fixed between 0.5.5 and 0.6.6 (the main version openstack is tested with), but it's worth a try. > About unittests, we probably want to either disable just the specific unittests or add a compat package with the newer versions of nose. RHEL6 seems to include 0.10.4 and the current version is 1.1.2. I can see the newer version being useful to people doing work with it (although they'll need to modify their behaviour slightly; using /usr/bin/nosetests-1.1, for instance.) Not sure if running nosetests-1.1 will be sufficient to use the correct nose module or if we'd have to also set PYTHONPATH to point at the correct version of nose explicitly. Worth a try at least. Note %check in newer python-nose has further dependencies outside of RHEL, which I disabled when building my hacked up version. cheers, Pádraig. _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud
