Hi all,
we would like to ask about interest in community about oVirt moving to CentOS Stream.
There were some requests before but it’s hard to see how many people would really like to
see that.
With CentOS releases lagging behind RHEL for months it’s interesting to consider moving to
CentOS Stream as it is much more up to date and allows us to fix bugs faster, with less
workarounds and overhead for maintaining old code. E.g. our current integration tests do
not really pass on CentOS 8.1 and we can’t really do much about that other than wait for
more up to date packages. It would also bring us closer to make oVirt run smoothly on RHEL
as that is also much closer to Stream than it is to outdated CentOS.
So..would you like us to support CentOS Stream?
We don’t really have capacity to run 3 different platforms, would you still want oVirt to
support CentOS Stream if it means “less support” for regular CentOS?
There are some concerns about Stream being a bit less stable, do you share those
concerns?
Thank you for your comments,
michal

Hi Michael,
Thanks for raising that topic.
I personally believe that the CentOS Stream will be something between Fedora and RHEL and
thus it won't be as stable as I wish.
Yet on the other side , if this speeds up bug fixing - I am OK for that.
P.S.: I'm still on 4.3, but I was planing to switch to regular CentOS instead of
Stream.

Strahil Nikolov

Hi all,
there were not that many responses, thank you Strahil for sharing your thoughts, but it’s
still quite useful for our CI so we are adding a Stream variant anyway:)
Feel free to try it out, it has been added[1] to the ovirt-release-master rpm, you can now
install that on top of a CentOS Stream host.
Do not use in production
Thanks,
michal

Stream is not used by all Red Hat teams (yet) , thus it might be a
little bit unstable. I would recommend you to wait till the begining of
Q2 2021 before you evaluate it.

We moved oVirt Node and oVirt Appliance to CentOS Stream for the next
(oVirt 4.4.5) release.
Help testing current master and 4.4.5 release candidates will help ensure
it's stable for production.

Help testing current master and 4.4.5 release candidates will help ensure
it's stable for production.
Sadly, we had to revert to CentOS Linux 8.3 for 4.4.5, but re-targeting
this for 4.4.6 and continuing testing and fixing bugs.

...this was sent under very different circumstances:) Now it seems to be an easier
call...
We will be probably moving to Stream a bit more. We did it already, but since there was
very little interest it’s not entirely working across automation, CI, release processes.
It does depend on all the dependencies we consume so don’t expect it to happen in a month,
it’s probably going to take a while
To that note, there is also a possibility of oVirt on RHEL which some tried(or even use).
It was not very helpful yet because again the dependencies are not really part of the OS
and they are not being published in a way that we can consume them. But if this ever
changes, it would be a good option for stable underlying OS and up-to-date oVirt….
We don’t really have capacity to run 3 different platforms, would you still want oVirt to
support CentOS Stream if it means “less support” for regular CentOS?
There are some concerns about Stream being a bit less stable, do you share those

I also have concerns about CentOS Stream and the future CentOS in general!
What about support of oVirt on Oracle Linux? As Oracle themselves have changed gears and
now offering it for FREE, and only charging if you want support. This is what IBM/RedHat
should of done with CentOS.... but nope.
I'd like to stick with oVirt either on Oracle or upgrade to RHEL under the new
developer rules. RHEL allowing up to 16-hosts for free.
But as you mentioned - there are issues with the oVirt dependencies on RHEL.
Thoughts, anyone?

yes, dependencies are the main issue. I don’t think we particularly care that much about
the base OS (as long as it is more or less a RHEL clone it doesn’t really matter)
we won’t be able to sanity test everything, but RHEL sounds like a feasible idea. We do
need to move from CentOS to Stream first anyway, though, just for the development sake.
Thanks,
michal

RHEL and any RHEL rebuild should be binary compatible with all the packages

the problem is AV, mostly. It is “ahead” in RHEL, and so even the latest AV builds are
compiled on a CentOS that's ~1-2 months behind. Since it has dependencies on other
packages outside of the AV module (e.g. kernel) it sometimes doesn’t work that great
Thoughts, anyone?
