Hi,
I wanted to bring this up to get feedback on this proposed change. VDSM
doesn't align to other project under the oVirt umbrella like ovirt-engine,
ovirt-node, ovirt-guest-agent etc..
+1
I suggest for ease of use and tracking we change the versioning to align to
the engine (4.0.0 in oVirt 4.0 GA) to make it easy to know which version was
in which release and also change the package naming to something like
ovirt-host-manager\ovirt-host-agent.
We cannot use the same version number, since we have different components,
and we will not rebuild a good an tested component if another component was
modified.
So we can share the major and probably the minor version, but the rest of the
version will be per component.
What do you think on this? What do you think the name should be?
ovirt-agent - symmetric with ovirt-engine - these are the biggest
parts of the system.
ovirt-host-agent is too long, we don't want to use to word "host" for
everything
that run on the host.
For example, supervdsm - we cannot call it ovirt-host-superagent or
ovirt-host-agent-helper
or vdsm-tool - we don't want to call it ovirt-host-agent-tool - think
about the poor
user trying to type these names in the shell.
