[Xen-devel] xend running on EL5

[Steven Haigh <netwiz@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys,

I've been trying to get my Xen 4.2 RPMs to build on both EL5 and EL6 
systems. I'm just about there but I've noticed one issue which I'm not 
100% sure of the best way to resolve.
/usr/sbin/xend is a simple python launcher that runs fine as is on EL6, 
but in EL5 it comes up with:
# service xend start
Starting xend daemon: Unknown option: -s
Unknown option: -s
usage: /usr/bin/python [option] ... [-c cmd | -m mod | file | -] [arg] ...
Try `python -h' for more information.

The standard hashbang line for xend is:
#!/usr/bin/python -Es

EL5 seems to run python 2.4.3 which doesn't have the -s option.

So, what would be the best way to work around this?

 I could patch out the -s when building the RPMs, however would that 
have any effect on EL6 systems?
