Thank you both for the warm welcome. I had already gone through the development guide, but the other links are good; I will definitely check them out and get back to you. On 4/12/17, Yedidyah Bar David <didi@redhat.com> wrote:

Hello all.
I am trying to install oVirt on Debian. So far I've managed to install a good chunk of the dependencies.
Nice to see interest in getting oVirt on Debian! I'm adding Milan Zamal who was looking into getting vdsm running on Debian.
However I haven't been able to install otopi, ovirt-host-deploy, ovirt-js-dependencies, ovirt-setup-lib since Debian has no packages for these. With the exception of otopi (whose build instructions I was unable to make sense of on GitHub), everything else is to be gotten from Fedora/EPEL repos.
Please note that otopi is not supporting Debian yet. It's missing support for the packaging system used by Debian. It currently support only yum and dnf package managers. Being ovirt-host-deploy and ovirt-setup-lib depending on otopi, you'll need to work on otopi code first.
Adding to otopi support for apt/dpkg is indeed interesting and useful, but imo isn't mandatory for a first milestone. Not having an apt packager will simply mean you can't install/update packages using otopi, but other things should work. Notably, you won't be able to use engine-setup for upgrades, at least not the way it's done with yum and versionlock.
I had thought of using alien to convert from rpm to deb, but apparently the recommended thing is to compile from source, since using alien can lead to a complex version of dependency hell.
I can download WildFly from source, though again the recommended procedure is to install ovirt-engine-wildfly and ovirt-wildfly-overlay.
I would suggest to get in touch with Wildfly community about having wildfly packaged for Debian.
Any assistance in tracking down the source code of the above packages so that I can install them is appreciated.
I think that all of them are maintained on gerrit.ovirt.org, and most have mirrors on github.com/ovirt.
If you haven't yet, you might want to check also:

The engine used to work on gentoo in the past, although I do not think anyone tried that in the last 1.5 years, so the following is not up-to-date or working, but can still give you some ideas:

Good luck and best regards,
