I've been giving this a look and it seems that we aren't building the advanced virt modules because CentOS builds them from upstream?
I've found no mention of them in their Pagure, and they're built on their Community Build System via a SIG, with the metadata set on them as `Extra: {'source': {'original_url': 'libvirt-7.0.0- 14.1.el8.src.rpm'}}`.
My colleague Neil looked into it, and concluded it seems to be a CLI build being manually run(?).
We could investigate building that, but I'm not sure how good we'd be to do so as it would likely involve repackaging straight from RHEL sources via a RHEL machine.
Anyway, happy to help in any way I can on this, I'm in our SIG/Virtualization channel on Mattermost if anyone wants to get to me easily. Hi Hayden
If you can do this - the word awesome would be an understatement ;-)
I have been using oVirt for 7 years now and it is a fantastic product (I started using it when it was 3.1 or 3.4). I am in a similar position as Jason who started this thread. The main goal of my experiment described above is to see if I can deploy it on bare metal nodes with Rocky as a hypervisor replacement for CentOS. I actually wanted to convert to Proxmox but wanted to give oVirt one more chance :)
Thank you.
Kind regards, Branimir
Thanks, Branimir. I am really hoping that Sandro and the rest of the oVirt team can help make this possible for Rocky Linux. It seems like it won't be too tricky. I've heard offline from a lot of people who would be very interested in using Rocky Linux for this very purpose, so there's a lot of interest out there. It would be a huge win for oVirt. Jason.
