The hardware module probably needs some work so it does not require smolt.
Right now you can use hardware "hal_info" instead of "info" to get
things from lshal.
This works for me, but it seems like func-inventory requires smolt? I
suppose that's a quick fix, but it didn't work correctly on my RHEL4
machines out-of-the-box.
Func-inventory has some command line options (try --help?) to run
inventory against
only a specific list of func modules (or specific method names). So you
could choose
to run inventory against everything except hardware.
The other short term workaround (less shiny and less convient) is to
change the hardware module to just return {}
for the inventory() method.
If you have all the packages (such as a newer Python), it seems to make
sense I think to just install all the packages
rather than rely on an installer that may make things more confusing.
If absolutely needed you could
perhaps make a meta-package and/or put all the packages in a repository
(which we can probably host on fedorapeople even).
Hrm, maybe I'm confused by your response, but PyInstaller isn't an
installer like one would know in the Windows world - rather, it makes
an executable that doesn't require a separate Python environment.
>From the FAQ:
Q: Does PyInstaller build a real installer like NSIS or InstallShield?
A: No, despite its name (with has more to do with its historical
roots), PyInstaller is used to transform a Python program into a
native executable form which does not require existing Python
installations to run. Building an installer program is totally outside
the scope of PyInstaller.
So my thought would be: Get a vintage OS to run Func as we need it
and validate it to run, package it up into an RPM, and deploy the
compiled Func application to all servers. By doing this, it saves me
from having to install a recent Python on every machine *and* install
Func. Does that make sense? Of course, I have no idea if
PyInstaller does what it says, but it looked promising.
If it works that seems ok, though the problem of having binaries and
such mean it may need
to be done for every platform.
If instead you could say "add this repo and install these 5 packages",
that might be better,
and we're going to need to do that anyway to get it working initially
for PyInstaller, right?
