231# on both servers, see what the differences are, check if those diffs
232# are packaged up as rpms, and install them (rpm if possible, native otherwise)
233# - Look at /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages and
234#           /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages for Python eggs and modules.
235#   There will be a lot of gunk that was installed from packages;
236#   easy-install.pth in /usr/lib/ will tell you what was easy_installed.
237#   First use 'yum search' to see if the relevant package is now available
238#   as an RPM, and install that if it is.  If not, then use easy_install.
239#   Pass -Z to easy_install to install them unzipped, as some zipped eggs
240#   want to be able to write to ~/.python-eggs.  (Also makes sourcediving
241#   easier.)
242# - Look at `gem list` for Ruby gems.
243#   Again, use 'yum search' and prefer RPMs, but failing that, 'gem install'.
244#       ezyang: rspec-rails depends on rspec, and will override the Yum
245#       package, so... don't use that RPM yet
246# - Look at `pear list` for Pear fruits (or whatever they're called).
247#   Yet again, 'yum search' for RPMs before resorting to 'pear install'.  Note
248#   that for things in the beta repo, you'll need 'pear install package-beta'.
249#   (you might get complaints about the php_scripts module; ignore them)
250# - Look at `pecl list` for PECL things.  'yum search', and if you must,
251#   'pecl install' needed items. If it doesn't work, try 'pear install
252#   pecl/foo' or 'pecl install foo-beta' or those two combined.
253    # Automating this... will require a lot of batonning between
254    # the servers. Probably best way to do it is to write an actual
255    # script.
