Forwarding this so that it is seen on oVirt's mailing list as well. In future, I'll try to make sure that I mail both the Debian Virtualization team and the oVirt users insofar as the topic is relevant to both sides. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Guido Günther <agx@sigxcpu.org> Date: Mon, 15 May 2017 08:13:52 +0200 Subject: Re: [Pkg-libvirt-discuss] Packaging oVirt for Debian To: Leni Kadali Mutungi <lenikmutungi@gmail.com> On Mon, May 15, 2017 at 05:20:19AM +0300, Leni Kadali Mutungi wrote:

Hello all. This is where I am so far with the compiling and packaging.

Nice you're making progress!

I am now looking for how to enable the virt service and assign an IP address that ovirt-host-deploy can use.

Also it seems that the yumpackager.py and miniyum.py scripts are dependencies for ovirt-host-deploy. So it seems I need to write/find a python script that is equivalent to yumpackager.py and miniyum.py so that that dependency for ovirt-host-deploy is satisfied as well, because setting it to not use a package was a short-term solution to get it to run successfully.

Have a look at python-apt. That will allow you to write a wrapper similar to miniyum.py.

So if I could be pointed in the direction of a suitable script that would work with Debian's aptitude, apt-get and apt in a similar manner, I'd be much obliged.

Please keep them mailing list in cc: so more people get a chance to help you! Cheers, -- Guido -- - Warm regards Leni Kadali Mutungi
