Hi,

I have spent all day working in the support of Mandriva 2006. My "base trunk" is not exactly the same of today's OSCAR trunk, but I will talk more about that later.

I have partially succeed with the installation, however I would like to present you some points:

1)The setup script of perl-XML-Simple forces the use of a specific version of the rpm (2.14-2.1.el3.rf), which is a problem because Mandriva comes with its own rpm that is newer and works better than the one provided with OSCAR.

3)The apitests in Step 6 fails because the 'elementtree' is copied under /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages and when the script calls 'python' is the one under /usr/lib/python2.4 thas executes. Manually copying this package there also works.

These two are pretty similar issues.. I'm having the #4 issue on Scientific Linux 4.2 right now. The fix for 4.2.1 is docfix that it's not supported, but a longer term fix is needed

I'm not really sure what the ideal way to do this would be, but it would be nice to have a minimum version of a piece of software, that allows for higher versions, or allows for elementtree and python-elementtree to satisfy the requirements. How to implement this, and not be hackish, I have no good ideas..
