This is a little concerning.
But it seems pretty easy to convert:
However I would be curious to see if someone tests this with having an active ovirt node!
We have CentOS Stream release rpm for a while now[1]. It’s not actively used AFAIK but we wanted to explore that since CentOS was long term lagging behind released versions.
It’s not really that important what OS we run on, the biggest problem is the other dependencies we have, jboss, ansible, openvswitch, virt stack - that doesn’t come from CentOS. If we get regular development and reliable releases of our dependencies on Stream then we can make oVirt as stable there as it is now on CentOS.
We did invest in Debian support long long time ago (we eventually gave up due to lack of capacity and reliable/up-to-date dependencies)
We did support PowerKVM distro for ppc64 during the time when IBM was switching from PowerVM to qemu (it stopped being relevant).
And Fedora (same reason as debian, but it still works)
Again, it’s not such a big deal to run on other distro, there’s work in oVirt that needs to happen but as long as it is not exotic and versions are not too off it’s not really that big of a change, IMHO. What is a big deal is a long term commitment to maintain that and help/provide CI resources.
