This sounds very good, thanks to all who contributed.
Do you know it the cloud-init rework will include support for RHEL5? We would like to
contribute to that, but we are not sure what the best way forward is.
It seems there are different ways to make cloud-init work under RHEL5:
- make it work w/ the system python24.
- make it work w/ python26 from EPEL5
We have a preference for the second option (as it is more forward-looking), but there may
be constraints we have not considered.
How do people feel about this?
I didn't notice anything in the rework specific to python 2.4
I also notice that Amazon's variant specifies /usr/bin/python2.6
So I think at this stage python 2.6 is the earliest considered.
cheers,
Pádraig.
