I tested in CentOS 5.5 with a package for F10.
But I did that by hand.
Doing that would be like cheating!
And it may be not acceptable by some internal policy.

I thought of the install to be as easy as doing a

 yum install --enablerepo=epel-testing transifex

I have all packages in place now, except intltool.  :-(

Who maintains intltool in RHEL5?
Perhaps asking...

The python software stack RHEL6 has is incompatible with transifex 0.9.0.

And we need to update to transifex 0.9.0 in order to be able to update
later to 1.0, which may use the RHEL6 python software stack.

Some solution we will find.

Doing a hand installation of intltool for F10 from the package in koji
with a command like

 yum install --nogpgcheck ~/intltool-0.40.5-1.fc10.i386.rpm

and then installing transifex with

 yum install --enablerepo=epel-testing transifex

it works. But I don't know if it would be acceptable.

kind regards
