Updated Engine build options
by Vojtech Szocs 16 Jan '15

16 Jan '15

Hi guys, patch http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/36739/ just landed in master branch. It adds two new Makefile variables: # Maven JVM options. BUILD_JAVA_OPTS_MAVEN # GWT compiler & DevMode JVM options. BUILD_JAVA_OPTS_GWT Use BUILD_JAVA_OPTS_MAVEN to specify JVM arguments for main "mvn" command. Default value is "-XX:MaxPermSize=512M" which should be OK for most cases. Use BUILD_JAVA_OPTS_GWT to specify JVM arguments for GWT compiler & DevMode. Default value is "" which translates into following fallback value: # gwt.jvmArgs fallback in frontend/webadmin/modules/pom.xml -Xms1024M -Xmx8192M -XX:PermSize=512M -XX:MaxPermSize=1024M Custom BUILD_JAVA_OPTS_GWT (non-empty string) value will be translated into -Dgwt.jvmArgs="..." when invoking main "mvn" command. TL;DR Engine build should work without any JVM argument tuning as before. If you're running into "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError" during the build, we suggest to limit max. simultaneous GWT permutation worker threads to 1 and tune GWT compiler JVM arguments according to your system: $ export BUILD_JAVA_OPTS_MAVEN="-XX:MaxPermSize=512M -Dgwt.compiler.localWorkers=1" $ export BUILD_JAVA_OPTS_GWT="-Xms1024M -Xmx4096M -XX:MaxPermSize=1024M" Regards, Vojtech

[RFC] oVirt mobile client
by Greg Sheremeta 15 Jan '15

15 Jan '15

Hi, The focus of our OPW internship program starting in December will be mobile and/or lightweight engine clients -- hopefully integrating the new ovirt.js project. I see that there are some already existing mobile clients for oVirt. I'm trying to grasp what we have and what the needs are. moVirt: https://github.com/matobet/moVirt (mbetak) This appears to be more of a lightweight webadmin. No console access, but I believe it's planned as part of OPW. (?) nomad: http://www.ovirt.org/Project_Proposal_-_Nomad and https://github.com/Vizuri/ovirt-nomad Looks dead -- last commit 3 years ago. Anyone know more about this one? That's all I see on the first few pages of google. When I think of a mobile client for oVirt, I think the most useful part would be the user portal -- simple operations for start, stop, and the ability to view the console of vms. moVirt mentions it wants to support some basic management operations, though. I think it would be difficult to do complex management in a mobile client. (I'm biased towards huge screens, though.) I'd like to see an official subproject started that coordinates our mobile efforts. Is this possible? What would it take to start it? What would people like to see in such an app?

Hello, Please create the following new git repositories: ovirt-engine-sdk-python-specs ovirt-engine-sdk-java-specs ovirt-engine-cli-specs They will be used to manage the RPM spec files (also scripts, patches, and in general anything needed for building RPMs) of the Python SDK, the Java SDK, and the CLI. Each repository will have branches for each pair of oVirt major release and supported distribution: ovirt-3.5-el6 ovirt-3.5-el7 ovirt-3.5-fc20 ovirt-3.5-fc21 ovirt-3.6-el6 ... Initially I will be the maintainer of these repositories. Once these repos are created the specs will be added to them and eventually removed completely from the main repositories of the SDKs and the CLI.

engine.ear fails on current ovirt-3.5 branch
by Adam Litke 08 Jan '15

Hi all, Back from a long vacation I decided to build a fresh engine from the tip of the ovirt-3.5 branch (447ff7) and to my dismay, the deployed build will not start within jboss. The following error seems of paramount importance (full log attached).

fyi ovirt-engine\api fails over f19
by ybronhei 07 Jan '15

07 Jan '15

Hey guys, I faced a problem with javax/activation/api which is missing in f19. Therefore /api threw exception and I couldn't have any restapi reply from engine. To workaround with that instead upgrading I removed the dependency from share/ovirt-engine/modules/org/codehaus/jackson/jackson-xc/main/module.xml and it works. till now i haven't noticed anything strange without it.. Regards, -- Yaniv Bronhaim.

vdsm to require newer pyflakes on el6
by Dan Kenigsberg 07 Jan '15

07 Jan '15

As mentioned on http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/36434/ , vdsm's `make pyflakes` has been broken so that it gives a false sense of security, as it tests very few modules. During this period, we've acquired code that triggers pyflakes-0.4.0-2.el6.noarch.rpm of epel6. ./vdsm/sos/vdsm.py.in:25: redefinition of unused 'RedHatPlugin' from line 22 ./vdsm/sos/vdsm.py.in:25: redefinition of unused 'Plugin' from line 22 ./vdsm/virt/guestagent.py:144: redefinition of function 'guestDiskMapping' from line 140 vdsm/get-conf-item:11: redefinition of unused 'config' from line 8 vdsm/set-conf-item:13: redefinition of unused 'config' from line 10 make: *** [pyflakes] Error 1 I suggest requiring Vdsm developers to use a newer version of pyflakes, even on el6, such as the one provided by http://danken.fedorapeople.org/pyflakes-0.8.1-3.el6.noarch.rpm as the alternative is to add silly code in order to quiesce an ancient pyflakes. This would server as a stop-gap until we live up to our plan of including pep8 and pyflakes as git submodules, so that all vdsm developers use the same verification tool on all platforms. Dan.
