Jonathan Felder commented on MH-8471:
-------------------------------------
Wut? The top of the readme tells you start start with option 0 and work your
say down. The default option when you run the script is 0. 0 is the install
killing prerequisite check.
The interactive mode mentions running do-all which also includes the system
killing prereq check.
How does the readme describe that skipping 0 is a best practice? As far as I
can tell the user is instructed and encouraged to perform the prereq check.
Furthermore the script does exactly as you say without regard for dependencies.
Running CentOS 6? Too bad, you get to have a bunch of CentOS 5 packages force
installed. The script doesn't need to do all this checking...all it needs to
do is run yum install with the corresponding packages. Yum takes care of the
dependency checking. Yum takes care of pulling down the right version. Yum
makes sure you don't hose your system.
The prereq check on RHEL/CentOS can be boiled down to one single non system
hosing command.
