Hi,
Can I get a new gerrit repo added for ovirt-node-iso? An empty repo should be fine initially.
The purpose of this repo is to package the ovirt-node iso image in an rpm for delivery. Ideally, this could be done as a sub-package of ovirt-node, but there is a chicken and egg problem. You need the ovirt-node rpm in order to generate the iso which you need to build the ovirt-node-iso rpm. We also need to keep the generation of the ovirt-node rpm and the iso image in separate steps so we could create multiple images from a single ovirt-node rpm. This would allow something like an update to a package that isn't ovirt-node to be included. For example, if vdsm had a critical update, we need to be able to regenerate the ovirt-node iso image without have to rebuild the ovirt-node rpm.
Thanks
Mike
I'm assuming the only issue is you want to keep the single package per repo policy, rather than any technical/logistical issue with managing the code? I have no problem creating it, it is same project as far as i am concerned, just needs separation due to packaging. let's give a day for comments in case someone has an issue for some reason, and I'll create it if no objections. karsten/ofer/barak/doron/anyone - thoughts/comments/issues/support?
+1 ... makes sense to me, too.
It's simply a new project in current gerrit.ovort.org, which will create a new git repo. I'm all for repo separation to minimize dangers of corruptions. +1. -- /d "Common sense is not so common." --Voltaire, Dictionnaire Philosophique (1764)
