Hello,
normally with current CentOS 8.2 I get
qemu-kvm-core-15:2.12.0-99.module_el8.2.0+524+f765f7e0.4.x86_64
libvirt-daemon-4.5.0-42.module_el8.2.0+320+13f867d7.x86_64
With oVirt 4.4 having
qemu-kvm-core-4.2.0-29.el8.3.x86_64
libvirt-daemon-6.0.0-25.2.el8.x86_64
and in current Fedora 32 updates:
qemu-kvm-core-4.2.1-1.fc32.x86_64.rpm
libvirt-daemon-6.1.0-4.fc32.x86_64.rpm
I see on CentOS these groups somehow related to Virtualization:
Virtualization Host
Virtualization Client
Virtualization Hypervisor
Virtualization Platform
Virtualization Tools
What could be the best and less intrusive repo to enable on plain CentOS 8.2 to get
qemu-kvm and libvirt versions quite similar to oVirt shipped ones, or fedora ones, without
enabling all the ovirt 4.4 repos?
You get them in oVirt via "advanced-virtualization-testing" [1].
I think the most official/least-intrusive way outside of oVirt is
something like:
dnf install centos-release-advanced-virtualization
dnf config-manager --set-enabled centos-advanced-virtualization-test
But can't find any "official" page saying this. Closest relevant pages
I can find are [2][3].
Please note that the repo names/IDs are different between above and
ovirt-release*. So if you install both, you have to keep that in mind
- and normally, just don't.
