I ran into another python 2.4 issue in master today
(try/catch/finally
at util.py:276) and while I did fix my dev machine, I'm not sure
if we want to be changing this on master.
It's the method "valid_rpm(rpm_file)", I wrote it. But the method should be
called from the tests only, therefore just on the clients, shouldn't it? I thought it
should not affect the server side.
Since we're planning to move to RHEL6 soon, is it worth fixing this in
master or should we just make sure that stable is 2.4 compatible and
hold off on any incompatible changes until we upgrade production?
I'm tempted to say leave it alone for now and hopefully we'll upgrade
production to RHEL6 before we need to deal with this. I'll just patch
my
RHEL5 machine for now and keep track of the required changes if we
should need them.
We're thinking alike. Let's leave it as it is and patch it only when we know that
we certainly won't have RHEL6 for our next release. The change is trivial anyway.
