There is only one major problem with running mock 0.8.x on EL4, and that is decorators. I use the new decorator syntax to instrument most functions for logging and that decorator syntax is not available on python 2.3 in EL4. There is a way to modify the code to keep the functionality of the decorators and still have backwards compatibility, but it isnt too pretty. (Not that, bad, either...).

If you want to send me a patch, I would accept it, as long as it is sane. -- Michael _______________________________________________ epel-devel-list mailing list epel-devel-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/epel-devel-list
