I use oVirt at home for small tasks and some server VM for my needs.

planning on updating from 4.4 to 4.5 and I found through the list I don't
need to install all from ground every time I have to update. I did that
when I got 4.4 from 4.3.
That was only required from 4.3 to 4.4 because it's not possible to do
an in-place upgrdae of the underlying OS from EL7 -> EL8.
I tried to follow the update info from ovirt site
(https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/index.html) and I got
stuck on:
# dnf install -y centos-release-ovirt45
I use Rocky Linux 8.6 for the engine and that command line doesn't work here:
[root@rocky-engine ~]# dnf install -y rocky-release-ovirt45

It doesn't work because the command in the documentation is correct for
all Enterprise Linux variants:
# dnf install -y centos-release-ovirt45
If that doesn't work, then you missed the "If you are going to install on
RHEL or derivatives please follow Installing on RHEL or derivatives
first." warning which links you to
https://www.ovirt.org/download/install_on_rhel.html
In that step, you add a couple of repos from CentOS Stream. This is where
the centos-ovirt-release45 package comes from, as well as some other repos
containing oVirt dependencies.
