danken commented on OVIRT-1748:

[~bkorren@redhat.com] excuse me if I forgot a former chat about this. ovirt users would not see Fedora + ovirt-guest-agent as somehow “tainted”. If they are pulling an image from ovirt glance, they expect to get ovirt-tweaked images.

I understand it can be a big burden to generate the image (it should happen 2-3 times a year, when the base operating system is respinned). I don't know which tools should be used to do this (`virt-customize --install ovirt-guest-agent` maybe? should I play with in-guest soflinks to enable it?) So it is fair to block my request due to capacity.

I could be biased, but for me the benefit of shipping ovirt-guest-agent with ovirt guest images is self-evident.

include ovirt-guest-agent in Fedora and CentOS images provided on glance.ovirt.org

 Project: oVirt - virtualization made easy

Reporter: danken

ovirt-guest-agent is an important part of the ovirt experience. So is glance.ovirt.org. By shipping images pre-installed with our guest agent, we would provide a better product for our users. Also, doing so would make it simpler to add tests the verify the state of the guest (e.g how many interfaces does it have, and what are its IP addresses).
