Hi Geoffroy: Yes, it is noarch, but the RPM has the python version hardcoded in the path, so technically speaking it is distro-dependent, or rather python-version-dependent and is not 100% portable. (I believe in this case it does work, since they have same version of python...)
So we have to decide whether we ship something with our tarball, or just expect the user to run "yum update yum" (as Erich suggested in one of the responses to the thread) - however the issue with doing yum update is you need Internet access during installation (and yes we need to automate this...)
