Can you make an RPM of python-numeric compiled against ATLAS and install it yourself?
You can. In fact, Numeric builds out of the box with
python bdist_rpm,
though the package name comes out to be named 'Numeric', but that should not be a problem, since the setup.cfg file reads:
[bdist_rpm] provides=python-numeric, python-numeric-devel build_script=rpm_build.sh install_script=rpm_install.sh
which means that the python-numeric dependency should be satisfied.
Yes, it is, and I sort of found that out myself. Yum is much smarter about this than RPM apparently; if I do rpm -U Numeric-23.8-i386.rpm rpm refuses to replace python-numeric-23.7 as distributed with FC4, but "yum install Numeric" when pointed at my local repo works fine. As does "rpm -i --force" of course. There is at least a verbal commitment at bugzilla.redhat.com from Redhat to migrate pygtk2 to the new array object when it comes out.
