[Katello] Installer Checks

ehelms · March 27, 2014, 6:52pm

The Katello installer was recently updated to add a check for hostname
similar to that of the Foreman installer prior to allowing installation to
begin. The question I have for Katello developers is:

Are there any Katello specific checks that might be handy to have in place
prior to allowing the installer to run?

Thanks,
Eric

I remember there was a Java check (that proper JRE is installed and not
the GCJ one).

that is a good one.

I wrote this a while back as a pre-check:

gist.github.com

https://gist.github.com/mccun934/9928000

gistfile1.py

#!/usr/bin/python

import commands

# print commands.getstatusoutput('wc -l file')

def check_rpm_list(rpm_array, search_strings):
  conflict_count = 0
  for rpm in rpm_array:
    for s in search_strings:

This file has been truncated. show original

not sure if we still want all those.
