Well, it turns out that EPEL 6 has a newer version of python-six than RHEL 7 does, and RBTools is completely broken on the latter platform because of it. (RHEL/CentOS 7.1 only ships with python-six 1.3.0 and the six.move.urllib.parse support was added in python-six 1.4.0) The good news is that RHEL/CentOS 7.2 should include python-six 1.9.0[1]. The bad news is that's a ways out, so this will be broken in the meantime. I have two choices: 1) Revert RBTools back to a version prior to this requirement. That looks like 0.6.3, which is almost certainly not a good idea. 2) Ship RBTools broken in the standard repository and direct people to pull an unofficial python-six package from a COPR repository. I'm going to go with 2) for now, updating the version of RBTools in EPEL to have an explicit requirement on python-six >= 1.4 so that it won't be installable without using my COPR repository until RHEL 7.2 is released. Given that RBTools has been broken like this for months, I suspect this won't actually affect a great many people, but I'd still like to ask that the Review Board devs add a note in the online documentation pointing people to drop https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/sgallagh/EPEL7-rbtools/repo/epel-7/sgallagh-EPEL7-rbtools-epel-7.repo into /etc/yum.repos.d until RHEL 7.2 is released. This repository will contain only a rebased python-six package. It'll be available in a couple hours (right now, there's an unplanned outage going on causing COPR builds to fail).
