Sandro,
I am sorry for picking the wrong forum to post into, it seemed a naturally
correct place because I was suggesting a shift in the development choices
being made for oVirt and how it is produced.
I hear what you are saying. However, that means that all the ISOs that are
published for people to download based on CentOS are going to be viewed by
the Linux community that has an interest in trying oVirt as a potential
learning path to RHV as alpha/beta quality. CentOS since "going upstream"
has been heavily devalued by the open source community for useful testing
or any real work. Again, that is just a fact or people would not be in a
mad rush to move to Rocky Linux or Alma Linux. At any rate, just my two
cents worth which may be all my opinion is worth! :)
I am not trying to be argumentative, just I think that supplying oVirt
using an underpinning OS that is quality based as opposed to CentOS would
be a worthy endeavor to encourage interest in oVirt.
Although I have not had a chance to gather and post the facts together, I
did try to do an install of it in my ProxMox virtualized environment (again
for testing) and met with a number of issues causing a failed installation
and eventually gave up. Now that I realize it is CentOS based, I am not
even think it is worth dealing with as the result will not be a production
quality install. I will read the link you provided regarding installing
oVirt on REL or a "derivative clone".
Thanks for your most brisk and thoughtful response and I wish you a
healthy and safe day in these challenging times.
With regards to ISOs and appliance, I got in touch with both Alma Linux and
Rocky Linux explaining how to build an oVirt Node ISO based on their own
repositories so they can ship them through their mirrors. Also discussed on
https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/LLKJKW22FAY...
Issue is we lack capacity and resources for rebuilding oVirt for all
possible CentOS Stream derivatives. So I would be happy to help Rocky and
Alma rebuild their own flavor of oVirt Node but we can't really commit to
maintaining those builds and keeping them tested.
