[Avocado-devel] What is a right way to install avocado?

[Lukáš Doktor]

Hello Andrei,

I was not aware of that. I'm using 
https://www.redhat.com/archives/avocado-devel/2017-January/msg00020.html 
(with some additions) so I'll take a look into what can be done to 
improve this. We partially dived into this area with Jan Sčotka who is 
using Avocado and is looking for RPMs for dependencies and we don't have 
the capacity to maintain a repo of them, but if pip should not be used 
as root then we'll have to probably create a script to fetch the latest 
versions from brew, rebuild it on all needed archs and publish it into 
some downstream repo. Ideally we should share this effort among multiple 
teams.

> 4. Run tests.

> Above commands are run from root account.
> We cannot use this approach any more.
> It doesn't work with RHEL7.3.
