[ovirt-devel] oVirt Node Upgrade Design

[Fabian Deutsch]

Hey,

Douglas and I have been discussing how the oVirt Node upgrade can work
in future with Node Next.

The most obvious change is that upgrades will be delivered directly
Node. Previously they've been pushed to Node by Engine.
The updates will stay to be delivered in an rpm through yum
repositories, this will allow us to leverage all tooling around repos,
rpm and yum.

The most notable user facing benefit is, that our goal is to update
Node Next by calling

$ yum update

Note: This will update Node in an image fashion, and will not just
update the packages.

Please review our design document here:
