Ok, I was using 6.1.

Is there any reason that it isn't available for 6.1 and 6.2 (technically?)

It would be nice to not have to distinguish (6.1 vs 6.2) in the new devstack v2.

My guess is the list I created then was using the 6.1 repo, which may not have those pkgs (darn it).

Yes there has been lots of work in this area. See here for details:

Note EPEL has parallel installable versions,
so that there is no clash with RHEL versions.

The openstack packages within EPEL explicitly select
the parallel versions like:

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=openstack-nova.git;a=blob_plain;f=openstack-nova-newdeps.patch;hb=el6

You can see the corresponding python-sqlalchemy0.7 and
python-webob1.0 packages within EPEL.

Well it's not used by openstack-glance in EPEL at least.

Parallel versions in EPEL as mentioned

Yes, these 3 might be candidates for EPEL.

0.6-6.el6 has been patched to support sqlalchemy 0.7

But its hard to tell how much of an issue yet. But it would be really great if we could just get all those up to the same versions. Then possibly in the future we can get RHEL6 (or equiv) hooked into the CI pipeline to ensure that new versions/packages work on all distributions that openstack wants to support. That way it ensures that packages and versions are uniform (or as close to possible to uniform) and will work with the supported code.

glance and nova should work well on RH6.2 + EPEL at least.

cheers,
