[ovirt-devel] vdsm update on fc27

[Viktor Mihajlovski]

Hi,

I have issues updating vdsm on my Fedora 27 host (s390x, although I
would think that the arch shouldn't matter).

[mihajlov at s3560022 ~]$ sudo dnf update

vdsm-common-4.20.11-18.git92c490ca8.fc27.noarch

I *think* this is caused by packaging __init__.py* with both
vdsm-network and vdsm-common. The patch
https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/86062/ should help to get around that.

BTW: The vdsm-network package was transiently built as noarch before it
was replaced by an arch-specific RPM. Since the noarch version has
vanished from the repositories in the meantime, that part of the patch
may be obsolete.
