<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div>with <a href="https://gerrit.ovirt.org/76855">https://gerrit.ovirt.org/76855</a> it's requested to increase the appliance size by adding ovirt-provider-ovn and its dependencies.</div><div><br></div><div>This raise a few questions.</div><div>The support for ovirt-provider-ovn is enabled by default in engine-setup and going to be installed by default in the appliance so we're pushing to use it. </div><div>Why not requiring it at ovirt-engine spec file level?</div><div>Answer given in the commit message of above patch is:</div><div><br></div><div><div>We do not want to have a hard dependency in the</div><div>form of an rpm require.</div><div>OVN and openvswitch are relatively heavy and complex,</div><div>and are still experimental. We would not want to</div><div>force everybody to pull them onto any Engine host.</div><div><br></div><div>So why adding it to the appliance, which is the default for hosted engine which is our recommeded way to deploy oVirt, and enable it by default?</div><div><br></div><div>How this differs from DWH? ovirt-engine requires ovirt-engine-setup which requires ovirt-engine-dwh setup which requires ovirt-engine-dwh.</div><div>Why can't we just require ovirt-provider-ovn in ovirt-engine instead of tweaking the appliance?</div><div><br></div><div>If we decide it's not mandatory, why not make the default to not enabling it in engine-setup and avoid to add it to the appliance?</div><div>Being optional, adding it collides with <a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1401931" style="color:rgb(102,153,204);font-family:"dejavu sans","liberation sans",sans-serif">Bug 1401931</a><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"dejavu sans","liberation sans",sans-serif;background-color:rgb(208,208,208)"> -</span><span id="gmail-summary_alias_container" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"dejavu sans","liberation sans",sans-serif"> <span id="gmail-short_desc_nonedit_display">[RFE] reduce the size of the appliance</span></span></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:overpass,sans-serif;font-weight:bold;margin:0px;padding:0px;font-size:14px;text-transform:uppercase"><span>SANDRO</span> <span>BONAZZOLA</span></p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:overpass,sans-serif;font-size:10px;margin:0px 0px 4px;text-transform:uppercase"><span>ASSOCIATE MANAGER, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, EMEA ENG VIRTUALIZATION R&D</span></p><p style="font-family:overpass,sans-serif;margin:0px;font-size:10px;color:rgb(153,153,153)"><a href="https://www.redhat.com/" style="color:rgb(0,136,206);margin:0px" target="_blank">Red Hat <span>EMEA</span></a></p><table border="0" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:overpass,sans-serif;font-size:medium"><tbody><tr><td width="100px"><a href="https://red.ht/sig" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.redhat.com/profiles/rh/themes/redhatdotcom/img/logo-red-hat-black.png" width="90" height="auto"></a></td><td style="font-size:10px"><div><a href="https://redhat.com/trusted" style="color:rgb(204,0,0);font-weight:bold" target="_blank">TRIED.
