Hi guys,
We've recently started shipping qemu-kvm-rhev in oVirt 3.5's repos and requiring
it by VDSM in order to allow oVirt users on EL server to enjoy the live snapshot
capability which isn't available by the default qemu-kvm available for these machines
[1].
On a different BZ, Sven raised the request to backport this to the 3.4.z stream as well
[2].
In the discussion on the patch [3], Dan raised the concern that 3.4.z is a mature
z-stream, and adding this dependency on resources.ovirt.org's repos will effectively
blocks all vdsm updates for users which don't have these repos enabled in their
production environments.
We'd like to get some more input from the community before deciding whether to move
forward with this or abandon the idea.
Thanks,
Allon
