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:
4 options...
1. Revert the qemu-kvm-rhev dependency.
Why did we merge a package which is not available on all supported platforms?
2. Drop vdsm from EPEL6 (or completely from Fedora); ship Vdsm only within the oVirt repositories.
3. Package qemu-kvm-rhev in Fedora
in EPEL. But if you're going to add it to EPEL please ensure it doesn't violate https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/GuidelinesAndPolicies
This is the root cause, lets fix it.
4. Until 3 is fixed, require qemu-kvm-rhev where it exists, otherwise on qemu-kvm.
Which is basically 1 only for the fedora packaging, keeping the dep on ovirt packaging.
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.
This is the wrong direction. We want ovirt in all distributions. You suggest to have it in no distribution :-)
I tend to agree with Nir.
Sandro, what should be done in order to build Vdsm by ovirt, occording to the most up-to-date tag in a stable branch?
currently we're using mock for building packages whenever we can use it. for vdsm I created a yaml job here: http://gerrit.ovirt.org/32512 once it's merged you can build from git tag.
Does anybody object this? If no one does, we would stop updating Vdsm in Fedora, and obsolete it in the future.
I do
