Martin Perina - new engine backend maintainer
by Oved Ourfali 25 Sep '15

25 Sep '15

Hi All, Martin Perina has been working on the oVirt project for over 2.5 years. He focused on various features, including AAA extensions, Kdump detection, fencing, wildfly support, and various backend functionality. He is also a very sharp reviewer, that caught many issues over these years. He has become a key contributor in the last year, leading many major efforts on the infrastructure group, and collaborating also with other groups. After consulting with the maintainers group, I announce that he is now an engine backend maintainer. Martin - we hope to see more and more good work from you in the upcoming years. David - can you set this in gerrit? Thanks! Oved

Template image is copied as RAW

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------060505080108050904040500 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, When instancing a new VM from a template, the image is copied with "qemu-img convert -t none -T none -f _*raw*_". Why are we using RAW instead of QCOW2? I noticed that the template is also in RAW format. Is this the reason the instanced image is also RAW? BTW, I prefer QCOW2, because Gluster and other filesystems are still not supporting sparse files [1].

Fwd: [CentOS-devel] CentOS-7 / powerpc LE bring up
by Sandro Bonazzola 21 Sep '15

21 Sep '15

FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: James O'Connor <jpoc(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com> Date: Fri, Sep 18, 2015 at 7:27 PM Subject: [CentOS-devel] CentOS-7 / powerpc LE bring up To: "The CentOS developers mailing list." <centos-devel(a)centos.org> Starting a new status thread for CentOS 7 POWER Little Endian. On Monday, Arrfab turned over the keys to a pairf of shiny new Fedora 21 ppc64le VMs running atop PowerKVM. I created a f21-ppc64le mock config and built a Linux from Scratch [1] toolchain with CentOS 7.1.1503 sources. This is necessary to jump back in time from Fedora 21 glibc-2.20 to CentOS 7 glibc-2.17. I then proceeded to build enough ppc64le.el7 rpms with the LFS toolchain to construct a minimal c7.01.01-ppc64le mock buildroot. As of last night, the minimal c7.01.01-ppc64le buildroot is complete and I’m untangling circular dependencies in the CentOS 7.1.1503 source rpms. I’ve built 700 of 2523 source packages so 27% complete with this first pass. Next, I’ll bootstrap java-1.7.0-openjdk and continue to loop through ppc64le rpm builds with mock. In the next 1-2 weeks, I should have 95+% of the source packages building for ppc64le. At which point we can create the first CentOS 7 ppc64le VMs and rebuild c7.01.02-ppc64le atop CentOS 7 instead of Fedora 21. CentOS 7.1.1503 ppc64le Alpha images for the early adopters sometime after that.

[ANN] [QE] Bugzilla updates for oVirt Product
by Sandro Bonazzola 20 Sep '15

20 Sep '15

The oVirt team is pleased to announce that today oVirt moved to its own classification within our Bugzilla system as previously anticipated [1]. No longer limited as a set of sub-projects, each building block (sub-project) of oVirt will be a Bugzilla product. This will allow tracking of package versions and target releases based on their own versioning schema. Each maintainer, for example, will have administrative rights on his or her Bugzilla sub-project and will be able to change flags, versions, targets, and components. As part of the improvements of the Bugzilla tracking system, a flag system has been added to the oVirt product in order to ease its management [2]. The changes will go into affect in stages, please review the wiki for more details. We invite you to review the new tracking system and get involved with oVirt QA [3] to make oVirt better than ever!
