[ovirt-devel] Broken dependency for VDSM

[Timothy Asir Jeyasingh]

Blivet returns the unit size as an object (blivet.size) in blivet version  >= 0.61.14 which is available in F21. We thought that using size object will be more clearer; because it provides unit type and some more functionality to change from one unit to another easily. But unfortunately the lower version in F20 just return the size in MiB (not an object).

I will fix this issue by sending a patch to vdsm to check the unit type of the device and fetch the value accordingly and remove any buildRequire version for the python-blivet package in the spec file. So that it can be build and work in F20 

Regards,
Tim
