GWT vs. Java
by Vojtech Szocs 07 Oct '14

07 Oct '14

Hi guys, I've had a discussion with Roy about GWT vs. Java plans, he asked me to share this information, so here we go. GWT 2.6 ======= - patch pending merge: http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/32135/ - support for Java 7 language syntax like <> operator etc. - once patch ^^ is merged, we can consolidate Java language compliance for whole Engine -> both frontend and backend can use Java 7 (yey!) GWT 2.7 ======= - planned support for *only* Java 8 language syntax like lambdas etc. but *without* emulating new Java 8 APIs like streams etc. (Java 8 API emulation should come in GWT 3.0) Likely, GWT 2.7 will remove GWT deRPC implementation on which we currently rely on. (@Martin, can you please share details?) This means that until we move UI to REST API, we can't upgrade post GWT 2.6, so this will put more pressure to work on oVirtJS project in consequence. GWT 3.0 ======= - ETA early next year? - planned to fully support Java 8 -> both language and APIs - one of key highlights is better integration with JavaScript, which fits the scenario where GWT "application" is one module that's part of bigger application (hybrid approach) Regards, Vojtech

Pending patches for 3.5.0
by Sandro Bonazzola 07 Oct '14

07 Oct '14

Hi, following patches are pending on 3.5.0 branch: http://gerrit.ovirt.org/33886 fixing a blocker http://gerrit.ovirt.org/33852 http://gerrit.ovirt.org/33839 http://gerrit.ovirt.org/33745 3.5.0 packages have been already built, since we're going to rebuild I would like to understand if other 3 patches must go in or not. Juan, 3.5.0 has been built, for maven sake, should I bump to 3.5.0.1? Or since we haven't released it, may I keep 3.5.0? -- Sandro Bonazzola Better technology. Faster innovation.

[QE][ACTION REQUIRED] oVirt 3.5.0 status - Go / No Go
by Sandro Bonazzola 07 Oct '14

07 Oct '14

Hi, We started composing oVirt 3.5.0 GA yesterday 2014-10-06 and we finished collecting rpms this morning. While we would have liked to be able to release it, bugzilla shows 2 new fresh blockers, so it's another No Go. The bug tracker [1] shows 2 blockers: Bug ID Whiteboard Status Summary 1149637 virt ASSIGNED Cannot start VM with attached ISO 1149705 storage NEW VM abnormal stop after LV refreshing when using thin provisioning on block storage This means a RC5 build will be issued once the above 2 bugs will be fixed and GA will follow after testing. Please provide an ETA for above bugs. The bugs keyworded as Regression have been reviewed by maintainers and not marked as blockers[4] Features completed are marked in green on Features Status Table [2] There are still 33 bugs [3] targeted to 3.5.0 which will be moved automatically to 3.5.1 once the build will be released. Maintainers / Assignee: If you're aware of something that should block the release, please raise it as soon as possible.

CDI limited capabilities in jboss-as-7.1.1
by Yevgeny Zaspitsky 07 Oct '14

07 Oct '14

Hi All, Recently I started using CDI (thanks to Roy Golan contribution) in bll module code and figured the limitation described in (https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-4567) That was solved 1.5 years ago in jboss-as-7.2. Currently we use jboss-as-7.1.1. Is there a good reason for not moving to jboss-as-7.2 or any newer version? Upgrading will help us solving circular dependency problems by being dependent on a bean interface in the compile time and receiving its implementation in the run-time. Regards, Yevgeny

[ENGINE] splitting AuditLogDirector to its own module
by Yair Zaslavsky 06 Oct '14

06 Oct '14

Hi all, I just reviewed a patch regarding AuditLogDirector and I thought to myself - why is it located in DAL? Our maven dependencies are built in a way that both bll and vdsbroker depend on DAL, and if you perform git grep AuditLogDirector you will see it is used by bll and vdsbroker. But that this is not necessary a reason to include AuditlogDirector in DAL. I think DAL should be our Data Access Layer, and for audit log (which is a class that uses our DAOs) we should have a separate module. Thoughts on this are welcome, Yair

[New Documentation] oVirt User Guide (Please Review!)
by Brian Proffitt 03 Oct '14

03 Oct '14

I would like to announce the posting of a new page on the oVirt site: the oVirt User Guide[1]. I know what you're thinking: didn't we just release the oVirt Administration Guide? Why, indeed we did[2]! But this was a shorter document, and so did not take as long to convert. This guide, adapted to MediaWiki form with the help of Red Hat's Content Services team, should be up to date as of oVirt 3.4. But, it is a living document and, like the Administration Guide, it needs further review! I ask everyone to take start poking at this documentation once oVirt 3.5 is released and people get familiar with the new release, so as to identify procedures that have changed, and new features that must be added. Please use Bugzilla to assign bugs in these document to me, or, if you have wiki privileges, edit as needed. Up next: a revised Quick Start Guide to get people launched into oVirt as fast as possible.

ovirt.js OPW project
by Jenny Kang 03 Oct '14

03 Oct '14

Hello! I'm a student and I'm interested in the OPW project, which funds women into open source projects. oVirt is one of the supported projects. I'm really interested in working on the new ovirt.js library which uses the ovirt rest api. I need a mentor for this project. Any suggestions if it's a good idea to work on this? And also anyone interested in mentoring me in this project? I'm not selected yet but I would love to commit some contributions to get a feel of what it's like to work on ovirt.js beforehand. Cheers, Jenny
