I'm currently setting up several servers that are a mix of CentOS4 and RHEL4. I need to update Python to version 2.4. I have tried using the pyvault rpms, but there was a dependency on the alternatives package that couldn't seem to be resolved even when the alternatives package was already installed.
I found one suggestion to use the RHEL5 iso files to create a rpm repository for yum on CentOS along with the FC6 repositories, but that still ends up with errors.
Using the FC6 repos only works with the RHEL5 betas. Far to many changes for them to work with RHEL4 (and CentOS4), RHEL5 is being based on the FC5/6 work while RHEL4 is based on the work for FC3/4.
