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.
