Thanks guy for such quick response...

1. For a start, I would be very interested in creating an ebuild files for Gentoo. As I am not able to do much of  coding - lack of spare time due to my job - I would like to at least try to help by creating ebuild files for fellows "Larry fans" :)))  Will probably open a bug on bugs.gentoo.org so that progress could be monitored there...

2. There is an article on wiki.gentoo.org already about oVirt (and please don't laugh when You read it - those few sentences are written around midnight last night, as a reminder :) ). I will write a proper article as soon as I find the time, hopefully by the midnight tonight :))) Stay tuned...

I think this is a project that has been missing for a long time - at least I know I needed this kind of software - so I hope oVirt will mature quickly enough. I hope that ovirt wiki will get a bit organized and maybe not so fedora-centric down the line, but... quite good for a start... :)

Hi,

   I got oVirt up and running on my Gentoo server. What I would like to
know is if there is some info page on current git version features of
oVirt? For example, I would like to know what type of storage is supported
as I could only see NFS type on webadmin. So am I doing something wrong or
am I just blind?  :)
   Also, if there is something I could help about related to Gentoo and
oVirt, let me know...

Hi Dimitrije.
+1 on Gentoo ;)

Specifically on storage, Engine supports also local storage, iscsi and FC.
However not all of it is currently enabled in the UI, as it is still under
heavy construction. You may handle these storage types using the RESTFul Api.

NFS and local storage should be available in the webadmin.
still need to close the GAP in UI for FC/iScsi (much more complex dialog...)
(REST API supports all)



There are many tasks we could use some help with, and it depends on your skills.
oVirt Engine is Java based. However there are other areas such as vdsm (python),
RESTFul API and SDK, UI (GWT), packaging, etc... So let us know which parts you
feel you can dive in, and we'll be able to route you ;)

As for Gentoo (I tried that in the past); I have a working setup on Gentoo
as well. In order to add it to the portage tree, we need a herd with some people
to help us. We can start creating the first ebuilds, but from my experience
we'll need more help to make the opensource JBoss build on Gentoo. That said
we can start working with the binary deployment and evolve from there.
