I've done qtp-newmodel, but the installation scripts were there when I came
on board (I think Nick put them together). I'd like to consolidate the other
scripts at some point (so there isn't a separate script for each distro) and
incorporate them all into qtp-newmodel.

Thanks for the list, Alexey.
I'm not very knowledgable about perl. If some of these modules are already
installed using CPAN, what are the considerations of changing them to
rpm-based? Will it be ok to simply yum install them?

Thanks for the link too!

I agree. A comprehensive minimal list of required rpms would be nice to
have. Easy to automate at that point.

(IMHO) It'd be great if everything was rpm based, so CPAN wouldn't be
necessary. I think EE might be working on that.
