Nico, Thanks for the pointer. I haven't yet found a SRPM in the 7.4.1408 vault that is not part of SCL itself which has a dependency on software collections or python3x. Do you know of one? To emphasize, we are building nfv7 tagged vpp packages for Centos as follows: http://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=19838 Are you recommending that we provide our package as part of scl as an alternative? So far our plan is to disable the new python3 dependent feature until Centos8 release so somebody downloading NFV packages wouldn't require anything other then Centos base packages. > >> -- >> Thomas F Herbert >> NFV and Fast Data Planes >> Office of Technology >> Red Hat >> >> _______________________________________________ >> CentOS-devel mailing list >> CentOS-devel at centos.org >> https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel >> > _______________________________________________ > CentOS-devel mailing list > CentOS-devel at centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel -- *Thomas F Herbert* NFV and Fast Data Planes Office of Technology *Red Hat* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
