yum install livecd-tools requires old python 2.4

Post by andyzhu35 » 2011/08/16 21:57:10

Hi, I tried to yum install livecd-tools following the guide in https://projects.centos.org/trac/livecd/wiki/GetToolset. I got error saying python 2.4 is required while my box is centos6 and it provides python 2.6. Please help if some one has success in yum install livecd-tools in centos 6.

I see another topic related to yum install with similar complaint of 2.4 (https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=32719&forum=56). It could be ralated issue though.

Thank you.

Hi
[url=http://pkgs.org/package/livecd-tools]livecd-tools rpm[/url] from EPEL repository doesn't require python 2.4, only:
[code]
/bin/bash
/sbin/extlinux
/usr/bin/python
isomd5sum
mkisofs
parted
pyparted
python-imgcreate = 1:13.3-1.el6
syslinux
[/code]

1. Remove _http://www.nanotechnologies.qc.ca/propos/linux/centos-live/
2. Add third-party EPEL repository
3. Execute:
[code]# yum install livecd-tools[/code]

Don't forget to install/configure [url=http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities]yum-plugin-priorities[/url], or leave EPEL disabled by default.

Hy, Lystor and r_hartman:

Thank you both. It apparently the centos' recommended livecd-tools repository needs to update its spec. EPEL still needs python but that one accommodates version 2.6.

I will try the 3rd party one.

Please note on the [url=https://projects.centos.org/trac/livecd/wiki]LiveCD Wiki home page[/url]:
[quote]Note: the process described below applies to CentOS 5. [/quote]

LiveCD creation for CentOS 6 is integrated into the build process. It would be good to have an updated procedure for CentOS 6 live media creation, but it does not exist.
