I found a forum mentioning the lack of python-elementtree rpm on FC7

Ooops. In the meantime I found that it is included in python-2.5.
It is not completely included, e.g. repoview stopped working because something
was missing.
Yeah, SimpleXMLWriter is completely absent, so watch out.
===========================================
So is the elementtree package required for OSCAR to work now, or is the
support included in Python enough now? The post also points to some python docs
which say what is included:

Steve.
PS: Just realised that as the support is included in the standard library,
OSCAR code which uses the elementtree would need changin, breaking
compatibility with distributions not supporting python 2.5. Still, it might be
worth bearing in mind when the last incompatible distributions is not supported
by OSCAR - a couple less packages to build / distribute.

rpm list aren't that big of a deal -- I usually just copy the previous
version's.

I try not to check in RPMs which are already included in the distro --
however, for some reason I think Fedora 8 stopped shipping
python-elementtree.
It would be great if you can help us verify support -- however, my
work with f8-i386 would most definitely help with your endeavor on
x86_64, but it definitely does not mean support as you'll still need
to rebuild all the RPMs.
Ask us questions if you run into issues, we'll help you out.
I'll try to check in my changes tonight.
Cheers,
Bernard
