Hi all,

The repo files for ovirt-4.0 seem to have overlapping packages from (el7 vs centos.el7 naming).


and


for example

vdsm-4.18.15.3-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm

vs

vdsm-4.18.15.3-1.el7.x86_64.rpm


Which one should "win"? We need this for auditing purposes. 

Thanks.

Hi,
when a new oVirt release is announced the oVirt project releases source code developed and tested during the release cycle.
For convenience, the oVirt release engineering team builds rpms for Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and similar.
oVirt is not a Linux distribution.
Once oVirt release is available, the CentOS VIrtualization SIG packages the oVirt Virtualization Host related packages and make them available on CentOS mirrors.
CentOS Linux is a Linux distribution.

So, if you need auditing on CentOS only, you should rely on CentOS repositories and not enabling oVirt repositories on Virtualization Hosts.
On the manager side, oVirt engine is not yet packaged by CentOS Virtualization SIG being it almost impossible to package without accessing maven central during the build which is not allowed by packaging policies.
So, for the oVirt Engine host, you've no choice but use oVrit repositories or build rpms yourself.

The fact you see overlapping versions in oVirt repo and CentOS Virtualization SIG repositories is due to the fact the two repositories are independent. You can use either the oVIrt one (built by oVirt release engineering) or the CentOS one (built by CentOS Virt SIG).
