Some Sahara plugins (HDP, CDH) supports only CentOS6/RHEL6. In order to generate images for them, even if diskimage-builder some scripts need to run on the guest directly. So at least diskimage-builder should keep Python 2.6 support for guests (RHEL6 ships with Python 2.6) Ciao -- Luigi __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: [email protected]?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
