[ovirt-users] Re: gluster in ovirt-node in 4.5

Hi all, In relation to a recent question here (thread "[ovirt-devel] [ANN] Schedule for oVirt 4.5.0"), we are now blocked with the following chain of changes/dependencies: 1. ovirt-ansible-collection recently moved from ansible-2.9 to ansible-core 2.12. 2. ovirt-hosted-engine-setup followed it. 3. ovirt-release-host-node (the package including dependencies for ovirt-node) requires gluster-ansible-roles. 4. gluster-ansible-roles right now requires 'ansible >= 2.9' (not core), and I only checked one of its dependencies, gluster-ansible-infra, and this one requires 'ansible >= 2.5'.

5. ansible-core does not 'Provide: ansible', IIUC intentionally. So we should do one of: 1. Fix gluster-ansible* packages to work with ansible-core 2.12. 2. Only patch gluster-ansible* packages to require ansible-core, without making sure they actually work with it. This will satisfy all deps (I guess), make the thing installable, but will likely break when actually used. Not sure it's such a good option, but nonetheless relevant. Might make sense if someone is going to work on (1.) soon but not immediately. This is what would have happened in practice, if ansible-core would have 'Provide:'-ed ansible. 3. Patch ovirt-release-host-node to not require gluster-ansible* anymore. This means it will not be included in ovirt-node. Users that will want to use it will have to install the dependencies manually, somehow, presumably after (1.) is done independently. Our team (RHV integration) does not have capacity for (1.). I intend to do (3.) very soon, unless we get volunteers for doing (1.) or strong voices for (2.). Best regards, -- Didi
