Re: [ovirt-users] qemu-kvm-rhev on EL machines for oVirt 3.4.z ?

(somehow it was forgotten to announce this during the 3.3. cycle..) so this is really strange: for some stuff, you support or want to support deployments which where never supported (the install guides are quite verbose about how to install, and they all use the ovirt repos, none uses local install) and on the other hand, you break compatibility with a previous release when it was never documented that this feature was _not_ officially released. Again: How many deployments do you think would suffer from a new qemu package shipped by ovirt repo? This was also altered in the past, e.g. with epel, gluster and jpackage repo added during the releases. Furthermore there are regression bugs which sat there for a while until the release was not supported anymore, fortunately this bug was not found in the next release, so no one fixed it, e.g.: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1120267 To make this clear: I don't need qemu-kvm-rhev myself I just think the project needs to make a clear guideline what gets changed at what point in the release process and then follow this rules _always_ . I still have evidence (see above) that this is not always the case. So I hope you will strive for a more consistent release process (I know you do). The last document from Sandro regarding the new release process looks promising. I appreciate you took this topic to the mailing list and I hope my opinion doesn't sound to harsh. If there are errors above, please feel free to correct me. :) -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Regards Sven Kieske Systemadministrator Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co.
