Building vdsm within Fedora
by Dan Kenigsberg 26 Sep '14

26 Sep '14

Since Vdsm was open-sourced, it was built and deployed via Fedora. Recently [http://gerrit.ovirt.org/31214] vdsm introduced a spec-file dependency onf qemu-kvm-rhev, and considered to backport it to the ovirt-3.4 brach. Requiring qemu-kvm-rhev, which is not part of Fedora's EPEL6 branch, violates Fedora's standards. So basically we have two options: 1. Revert the qemu-kvm-rhev dependency. 2. Drop vdsm from EPEL6 (or completely from Fedora); ship Vdsm only within the oVirt repositories. A third option would be to have one rpm, with qemu-kvm-rhev, shipped in ovirt, and another without it - shipped in Fedora. I find this overly complex and confusing. I favor option 2. The Fedora deployment platform served us well for a long time, but now that ovirt is maturing, we no longer need it for building vdsm. This has the added benefit of removing the need to pass through Fedora's ghastly gateway when adding a Vdsm dependency. Sandro, what should be done in order to build Vdsm by ovirt, occording to the most up-to-date tag in a stable branch? Does anybody object this? If no one does, we would stop updating Vdsm in Fedora, and obsolete it in the future. Regards, Dan.

Fedora 21 Test Day
by Federico Simoncelli 23 Sep '14

23 Sep '14

FYI, in a couple of days it will be the Fedora 21 virtualization test day: http://fedoramagazine.org/5tftw-2014-09-02/ https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2014-09-25_Virtualization it's a good opportunity for us to check for regressions with vdsm (qemu, libvirt, virt-tools), get more attention from the fedora community, have quicker feedback on issues and get them fixed before release. -- Federico
