]]> Comment on Building and Installing Python 2.7 RPMs on CentOS 5.7 by Benjamin Clark http://blog.milford.io/2012/01/building-and-installing-python-2-7-rpms-on-centos-5-7/#comment-193 Benjamin Clark Wed, 15 Feb 2012 13:16:00 +0000 http://blog.milford.io/?p=749#comment-193 Thank you very much for all this.  I have found that these spec files work almost unchanged for centos6. I had to add this to the spec: Provides: python-abi = %{libvers} Provides: python(abi) = %{libvers} in order to get devel, debug and tkinter to install.  I hope that's not going to mess up the 'alt' aspect of the install. One question.  I think this probably didn't originate with you, but why does setuptools need python-devel?  Why not just python?  Isn't one of the nice things about working with easy_install the fact that you can use platform-specific eggs and not have to have your build tools on all your servers?

I got one question: Datastax recommends not to run major compactions anymore, is there any particular reason your still running those? http://www.datastax.com/docs/1.0/operations/tuning (all the way at the bottom) Thanks Nathan!
