Hi there All- Currently in the installer we prompt for them EPEL rpm location so that it can be installed by the installer. **We need the EPEL repository for Centos OS installs to get required packages installed for Trafodion, pdsh etc.
I would like to propose that we remove that question. I feel that is very confusing. I think it would be better if the installer just stated before the install began (and was documented in our documentation) which packages are required and ask the user to install those on their system in advance. The user could use whatever process works for them. This would simply the installer since it would no longer need to download the EPEL repo (if it wasn't already installed or the RPM was not provided) and Trafodion install would no longer need internet access to install. The installer would continue to check that packages are installed, and it would attempt to install them. Thoughts? Any idea how other projects get their required RPM packages installed? Thanks all! -- Thanks, Amanda Moran
