Hello. We are currently experiencing some issues with avocado / avocado-vt.
Our automation can be described in next steps: 0. Install RHEL 6/7. 1. Clone "master" branches for avocado/avocado-vt from github. 2. In avocado dir: make requirements python setup.py install 3. In avocado-vt dir: make link pip install sphinx pip install -r requirements.txt python setup.py install 4. Run tests. Above commands are run from root account. We cannot use this approach any more. It doesn't work with RHEL7.3. I have opened a bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1417613 Than I had discussion with Tomas Orsava. The problem is, running pip as root in Fedora/EPEL is not supported and will break your system. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Making_sudo_pip_safe My question is: what is official way to install avocado/avocado-vt? Invoking pip commands from root account is a bad approach. Is there a safe way to install avocado & avocado-vt?
