The current rpm packaging works really well on Centos 6, until you attempt to use fireball... At that point you need:-   - python-keyczar - which no one appears to rpm package   - python-zmq (which is in EPEL and needs zeromq) Should these be dependancies of the ansible package, or should we attempt to split the ansible package so fireball is a separate package, and that has a dep of the fireball requirements. Target machines also need these packages installing (presuming an all rpm environment). Anyone know any Fedora python packagers who might be willing to take on python-keyczar? I can give them a spec file, but it would be good if it was available in standard repositories.   Nigel. ---

(Fedora maintainer speaking here) An ansible sub package that depended on ansible and the two other packages you just mentioned would work. Possibly another sub package like ansible-fireballl-node which pulled in all the deps needed on managed nodes too ---

+1 to the subpkg and the node pkg. If only b/c it makes it trivial to make sure your nodes are prepped for fireball. -sv ---

The only python-keyczar package I found was a spec file for an old version at [https://github.com/silas/rpms/blob/master/python-keyczar/python-keyczar.spec](https://github.com/silas/rpms/blob/master/python-keyczar/python-keyczar.spec) A minor update for version numbers (and taking out the naming hacks because the package used to have screwy tar/package/directory naming. Only other change I needed was the %doc line.   Nigel. ---

+1 on ansible-fireball and ansible-fireball-nodes as a subpackage in the specfile.
