.. note:: Important note for those developing using RedHat variants
If you are developing on a RedHat variant, be advised that the package
provider for newer Redhat-based systems (:doc:`yumpkg.py
<../ref/modules/all/salt.modules.yumpkg>`) relies on RedHat's python
interface for yum. The variants that use this module to provide package
support include the following:
* `RHEL`_ and `CentOS`_ releases 6 and later
* `Fedora Linux`_ releases 11 and later
* `Amazon Linux`_
If you are developing using one of these releases, you will want to create
your virtualenv using the ``--system-site-packages`` option so that these
modules are available in the virtualenv.
