[ovirt-devel] broken master: removal of release in spec requirements

[Yaniv Bronheim]

Hi,

In https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/62672 we removed the release from vdsm*
requirements. Although it sounds reasonable and quite safe, it was not.
In development env it causes mixup of versions when upgrading.

"yum install vdsm" will eventually cause this mixup as vdsm won't require
the newer vdsm-python

I think this change should be reverted and the solution should be in the
build process. Newer release is equal to higher version, requirement should
include the release number.
so for example, 4.18.7-1 was shipped and for ppc we built 4.18.7-2 so
4.18.7-2 is newer. can't see how this can be different.

e.g for the bug:
