[ovirt-users] [ACTION NEEDED][QE] oVirt 3.6.0 status

[Sandro Bonazzola]

Hi, here's an update on 3.6 status on integration / rel-eng side
The tracker bug for 3.6.0 [1] currently shows 2 blockers:
Bug ID	Whiteboard	Status		Summary
1119225	integration	POST		[engine-setup] 'Execution of setup failed' message is odd if only nfs start failed
1220142	virt		POST		Fail to create a VM through the webadmin

ACTION: maintainers to provide an ETA for above bugs
For integration, 1119225 should be merged by the end of the week.

Alpha release has been postponed to 2015-05-19
ACTION: maintainers to fix blocking bugs and ensure that a VM can be created through the webadmin interface before 2015-05-19.

And 3 blocking dependencies:
Product		Bug ID	Status	Target Release	Summary
Fedora		1066959	ASSIGNED	---	nfs-server.service needs to be started twice
RHEL 7		1171603	NEW		---	Require rpcbind.service in nfs-server.service rather than rpcbind.target
GlusterFS	1218990	ASSIGNED	---	failing installation of glusterfs-server-3.7.0beta1-0.14.git09bbd5c.el7.centos.x86_64

Repository closure is currently broken on Fedora 20 and CentOS 6
due to a missing required dependency on recent libvirt and vdsm rpm dropping el6 support.

VDSM builds for EL6 are no more available on master snapshot.
ACTION: jenkins job owners: please review jenkins jobs relying on VDSM to be available on EL6.

There are 543 bugs [2] targeted to 3.6.0.
