This email to Fedora devel indicates some changes we're going to need to
make to registration/discovery features (i..e cobbler-register):
== snip ==
We're hoping to be able to not ship rhpl for Fedora 12 -- this isn't
something which is really a "feature", but it might be something that a
heads up is useful for. Anyone who has a package with a dependency on
rhpl should have a bug filed, 98% of them with patches, to switch to
using something else.
If you are using rhpl and*don't* have a Requires: rhpl in your spec
file (or are using it for something not in Fedora), here's the
replacements for the things which were commonly used
* rhpl.translate -> Use python's gettext module. It's a lot more
functional these days. rhpl.translate was a good idea 7 years ago,
but not anymore:)
* rhpl.ethtool -> python-ethtool provides a module with similar/the same
API
* rhpl.exception -> Chris Lumens has split out a new package python-meh
which includes the exception handling capabilities from rhpl with the
added support for filing to bugzilla like anaconda does
* rhpl.keyboard* -> these now live in system-config-keyboard

So moving to python-ethtool, basically, is where we will need to go. This should
probably be done for the 2.0 release since we are also fixing old-OS imports of Fedora 12
at the same time.
