Packaging the python-redfish project
====================================

Overview
--------

This docuemnt provides information with regards to the packagin of
python-redfish for Linux distributions. Currently the Linux distributions we
are supporting and packaging for are:

- Mageia 5
- Fedora 25
- CentOS 7
- OpenSUSE 42.2
- Debian 8
- Ubuntu 16.04

Requirements
------------

python-redfish uses a lot of python modules, not all of them having been
packaged for Linux distributions. The one missing the most being
python-tortilla, so we are providing versions for this pending distributions
doing it themselves.
