Hi,
Sometimes I want to install Sentinel to CentOS (e.g no hassle with licensing in labs).
Sentinel 7.4 series run fine in Centos 6.x. Would developers make Sentinel 8 CentOS 7 compatible with following little tweak:

Could developers compile novell-Sentineldb-RHEL-8.0.0.0-xxx.x86_64.rpm with following change in the SPEC file? I rebuilt the rpm with the new value and it installed fine in both CentOS 7 and RHEL 7.

Change:
"Requires: libpython2.6.so.1.0()(64bit)"
to
"Requires: libpython2.7.so.1.0()(64bit)"

Now SPEC file requirement is pointing to a genuine file, because libpython2.6.so.1.0 is a symlink to libpython2.7.so.1.0 in both distros. I understand that CentOS is not the supported platform, but this adds value to the product.

  • Timo, thanks for submitting this idea. We will look it over and let you know what our thoughts are. Or we may ask for additional information.

  • I wish this feature could be done, because amount of work is minimal and does not even require new test set for CentOS (because not officially supported platform). Now deploying a quick lab server is quite difficult.
