Unix / CentOS installation: python27 fails to install from scl repository #586

Closed jtakayama closed 10 years ago

jtakayama commented 10 years ago

As of January 7, 2014, the python27 software collection from http://people.redhat.com/bkabrda/ referenced in http://makahiki.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation-makahiki-unix.html does not install after the .repo file is added:

% sudo yum install python27
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 *base: bay.uchicago.edu
 *extras: mirror-centos.hostingswift.com
 *updates: mirrors.loosefoot.com
Setting up Install Process
No package python27 available.
Error: Nothing to do

Update: This bug only affects i386 CentOS installations. At some point the python27 SCL repo dropped support for i386, and it only supports x86_64 (64-bit) architectures currently.

The repo installs successfully on x86_64, but it installs Python 2.7.5 instead of 2.7.3.
