Preparing to issue an oVirt release post Red Hat offboarding

Hi, Oracle fixed CVE-2024-7259 ( https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/security/advisories/GHSA-8xjm-j7fq-3w4... ) in oVirt Engine and would be nice to issue an oVirt Engine release including the fix. As the current master also includes support for new cluster level 4.8, VDSM needs to be released as well providing cluster level 4.8. As you know, Red Hat offboarded the project and as such there are no more people officially assigned to the project from the company, despite a few of the historical developers still spend some of their free time helping out. I can help building the packages and getting them out on my free time but I have no capacity for doing any testing or documentation updates or release notes related to this release. Last oVirt Engine (4.5.6) was also released last February without any formal release announce. Any volunteer to look into differences between current master and current stable release and see if anything else needs to be released other than ovirt-engine and vdsm? Any volunteer to write release notes and update the website accordingly? Any volunteer to run ovirt-system-test on https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/pull/970 and https://github.com/oVirt/vdsm/pull/422 as OST doesn't run anymore on GitHub? Regards, -- Sandro Bonazzola

Sandro, I am happy to volunteer and take on these tasks! I am a product manager of infrastructure products and have much experience in oVirt. I also have a team to help me examine the differences between the current master and stable release. We can also write the release notes, update the website accordingly, and run the tests. Let me know when I may start. BR, Igor

Wouldn't this be the right time to rebuild oVirt Node so that a new hosted-engine deployment will be built on CentOS Stream 9 (instead of 8 currently) or maybe even Rocky Linux 9 ??? Just wondering.

Since Oracle hasn't picked up developing oVirt where Red Hat left off, does this mean that Oracle is sunsetting their oVirt product as well?

Also, it would be nice if the next release included OS templates specific to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Debian 12, FreeBSD 14, and Windows Server 2022. j/s
