[gpfsug-discuss] TCT and redhat-release-server

[Orlando Richards]

This is an RPM dependency check, rather than checking anything about the 
system state (such as the contents of /etc/redhat-release). In the past, 
I've built a dummy rpm with no contents to work around these. I don't 
think you can do a "--force" on a yum install - so you can't "yum 
install gpfs.tct.server" unless you do something like that.

Would be great to get it removed from the rpm dependencies if possible.
