The toolchain looks nice to use, but I can't use it out-of-the-box. The toolchain requires the latest releases of at least livecd-tools, pykickstart and yum. Those are not available in RHEL4 or RHEL5(-epel). I rebuild at the livecd-tools rpm under RHEL5, but it failed because it requires at least python 2.5 for the try..except..finally syntax. Any idea how to handle such build dependencies? Regards, Peter This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended recipient(s) only.
