Description
The documentation should provide a list of packages that need to be installed on an EL7 machine in order to install libcomps from PyPI.
Actions
.
Problem: Users following docs cannot build
libcomps or createrepo_c on CentOS 7 / RHEL 7 (and most likely 8.)
Solution: Document python build dependencies that must be installed.
(I cannot find the exact bug, but when you use system-wide packages, upgrading the venv pip will not suffice. It still tries to use the system-wide old pip for some functions anyway, and auto-installing build deps will fail.)
