package as rpm

[timogoebel]

I'd love to see this packaged as an rpm, possibly in a special rpm repository that is meant for client packages only.

hmm, never have done packaging for the public world, do you have a hint what (free) services can be used for repo hosting?

also, we internally use the the sclo rh-python36 python packages.

with centos there are so many choices for what target python verson to build.

cause of this, we internally use use puppet to install pip packages. this also keeps us from the dependency hell soma packages have (this one at least uses requests and pep3143daemon(for the lockfile implementation))

is it impossible for you to use pip for package isntallation?

[timogoebel]

I just thought this would be more convenient for users. Our bash implementation of this works pretty well for now.

Our hosts don't have access to the internet, so installing from pip directly actually is an issue.

okay, i will think about this a little, maybe i just offer rpm´s for the stock centos7 python34 version

We could add the package to foreman-packaging btw and host it at yum.theforeman.org

this would be awesome, i will get in touch with you in maybe two weeks to get some details about this could be done. thanks!

@schlitzered: I guess it would be best to post a thread to community.theforeman.org in the development category. I am not maintaining the packaging, but others will gladly help.
