The information that pyrpkg is needed for using centpkg.py is in the readme on the git.centos.org site in the centpkg repo.
Yes, listed as "root# <Install and configure EPEL-Release>". For one thing, the package is actually named 'epel-release'.
May I recommend instead:
"root# <Download and configure relevant epel-release RPM>"I'd submit it at bugs.centos.org, but there isn't a category there yet for 'centpkg' or for 'centos-git-common'
I'll put this in with my next documentation patch. For future reference centpkg is a category in the Buildsys project on bugs.c.o
Until then, if someone is not smart enough to figure out how to make centpkg to work with git.centos.org because they can't find a python dep, then they likely should not be trying to build packages from git in the first place.
Oh, boy. That way lies madness, because "finding a python dependency" is like "finding a perl dependency". Let's be nice to the newbies. Not all of them have had the opportunity to explore mock and EPEL as thoroughly as us, and the newly published build system has a steep enough learning curve.
Do note, centpkg is very very new (hence the PRE-ALPHA notice in the README) and probably isn't quite ready for training newbies yet. The target audience, until we can stabilize a few things, is developers who can stand a few rough edges while we work on smoothing them out.
