[Buildbot-devel] buildbot RPM dependencies

[John Pye]

Hi all

While attempting to help someone to install buildbot on a machine not 
completely under my control, I used 'python setup.py bdist_rpm' to 
create an RPM version of Buildbot. I then figured that I simply needed 
to tell them to install the RPM.

Installing the RPM worked fine, but now when I try to run Buildbot, I 
get a message "ImportError: No module named twisted.python"

Clearly the RPM does not assert any dependency on Twisted, and Twisted 
is missing, so I have a broken installation of Buildbot.

Is there any way that the RPM generated by setup.py could be hardwired 
with this dependency? It would make remote installations of Buildbot a 
little bit more foolproof. On FC5, the required dependent package is 
'python-twisted'.

Cheers
JP
