[RFI] Fedora 21 support on oVirt 3.5.z
Hi, We have proposed Fedora 21 support as oVirt 3.6.0 new feature. oVirt 3.5.z is now in maintenance phase so no new features should be added. Supporting Fedora 21 is not just re-building everything on Fedora 21, it requires changes in several packages. My question is, is there community interest in having Fedora 21 support for oVirt 3.5.z while still having Fedora 20 as actively supported distribution? -- Sandro Bonazzola Better technology.

Back in May (see http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2014-May/024004.html and following answers) we talked about Fedora Server and that Fedora 21 Server would have been a preview of that... Now that it is out officially, it would be nice to see if oVirt Hypervisor/Engine could become sort of Server Roles, as stated at https://getfedora.org/en/server/ " Server Roles and Rolekit There's no need to set up your server from scratch when you use server roles. Server roles plug into your Fedora Server system, providing a well-integrated service on top of the Fedora Server platform. Deploy and manage these prepared roles simply using the Rolekit tool.

I suggest to open a RFE in bugzilla for it, but it won't be in 3.5.z. I'm not even sure if we can make it for 3.6. BTW I think it's an interesting RFE.

Bugzilla created against ovirt-engine-installer and version 4.0: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1174236 Do you think it is better to create another one specifically for oVirt Hypervisor? And in that case against what component? Gianluca

BTW: I put [RFE] at beginning of subject. I hope it is sufficient to mark it as an enhancement bugzilla entry... Gianluca

The idea of leveraging Fedora roles is a nice idea. Surely an RFE can be opened against ovirt-node (the hypervisor part of oVirt), but we need to see how this will fit into our plans. I'm concerned that it will require a lot of work to create such a role, but we'll only benefit on Fedora. And currently we are quite focused on CentOS, because it's quite well received. Speaking about benefits, I also wonder what benefits are. This needs more investigations before we can answer it from the Node side. - fabian
