ovirt-guest-agent

Hi, looking at http://jenkins.ovirt.org/view/All/ I see that for ovirt-guest-agent there's only the following job: http://jenkins.ovirt.org/view/All/job/ovirt-guest-agent_master_gerrit/ This means that ovirt-guest-agent is not built nightly neither for master nor for stable and it's not published neither in nightly snapshot nor in official releases. I see that ovirt-guest-agent is shipped within Fedora and EPEL: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=15434 so I suppose official release are shipped there. Do we need nightly builds? Also I see that http://www.ovirt.org/How_to_install_the_guest_agent_in_Fedora refers to obsolete layout / releases and the package is not shipped within oVirt repo for above considerations and should be updated accordingly. -- Sandro Bonazzola Better technology.

Yeah it never has been built nightly.

Yes Do we need nightly builds? It would be great if we would have nightly builds. Or at some trigger after merges, as the guest agent has not such a high volume of patches, nightly might be overkill, at least for now. Also I see that http://www.ovirt.org/How_to_install_the_guest_agent_in_Fedora refers to obsolete layout / releases and the package is not shipped within oVirt repo for above considerations and should be updated accordingly. True, and now looking at it, I have to say that I am surprised that the guest agent builds aren't included in the ovirt releases anymore. Usually they were including the latest koji builds. (At least from my knowledge) that does not seem to be the case anymore. when looking at: http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/3.4/rpm/fc20/noarch/ for example.

Ok, I'll open a ticket for that.

It's because RC are composed from nightly and if package is not in nightly it's not in the RC and then not in the final release. Well, not really an issue since official release are available in official fedora and epel repo, this also avoid rpm duplication. -- Sandro Bonazzola Better technology. Faster innovation.

and since the guest agent is supposed to go to the guest instead of being installed as part of the ovirt installation it kind of makes sense like this indeed:)
