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.

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 [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud
