[ovirt-users] Re: upgrading to 4.4.6 with Rocky Linux 8
I've been giving this a look and it seems that we aren't
building the
advanced virt modules because CentOS builds them from upstream?
I've found no mention of them in their Pagure, and they're built on
their Community Build System via a SIG, with the metadata set on them
as `Extra: {'source': {'original_url': 'libvirt-7.0.0-
14.1.el8.src.rpm'}}`.
My colleague Neil looked into it, and concluded it seems to be a CLI
build being manually run(?).
We could investigate building that, but I'm not sure how good we'd be
to do so as it would likely involve repackaging straight from RHEL
sources via a RHEL machine.
Anyway, happy to help in any way I can on this, I'm in our
SIG/Virtualization channel on Mattermost if anyone wants to get to me
easily.
Hi Hayden
If you can do this - the word awesome would be an understatement ;-)
I have been using oVirt for 7 years now and it is a fantastic product (I started using it
when it was 3.1 or 3.4). I am in a similar position as Jason who started this thread. The
main goal of my experiment described above is to see if I can deploy it on bare metal
nodes with Rocky as a hypervisor replacement for CentOS. I actually wanted to convert to
Proxmox but wanted to give oVirt one more chance :)
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Branimir
