Previous version can be ignored.


ipa-client-install should be usable on non-RH platforms (see
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1374), so you shouldn't use
/bin/rpm, as that's platform-specific. Wouldn't just rephrasing the
warning message (as suggested in the ticket) be sufficient?
If you want to support non-rpm-based platforms, you'll need to do much
greater work than not depend on rpm. For example, /sbin/service and
chkconfig might not be there.

I'm not sure adding even more complexity is helpful, especially when
it's used just to print a warning message. But I'd like a second opinion
on this.

I think it is time we start renaming ipautil.py to ipautil-rh.py and do
ourselves, or invite someone to write ipautil-debian.py, then have code
that loads the right module at runtime.

Simo.


I believe that nss-pam-ldapd uses a different configuration file than nss_ldap, I think I'd rather use the existence of that to determine what is being used. Calling out to rpm seems heavy-weight.
