perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Jim Nauer CWRU <>]

I'm building a new (internal-only) pS node, using our local baseline install of RHEL 7 instead of CentOS 7, and ran into an interesting dependency error:

--> Finished Dependency Resolution

Error: Package: pscheduler-server-1.1.6-2.el7.noarch (perfSONAR)

           Requires: python-flask

Checking on one of our "netintall" (CentOS 7) versions of pS, I can see that:

1) python-flask v. 0.10 was installed from the CentOS "extras" repository

2) but there is ALSO a package called "python-Flask" (note the capital 'F') in the perfSONAR repository which is NOT installed (but is a slightly newer version, 0.11 vs. 0.10 in both CentOS & RHEL 7 "Extras" repos).

Is is possible that the dependencies for pscheduler-server-1.1.6-2.el7.noarch were mis-typed and should be "python-Flask" with a capital F, or that the "python-Flask" RPM in the perfSONAR repository should have been named "python-flask" so that it would override the older but same-name package in the CentOS repository?
