Hi, the slide 11-13 are about VDSM on Ubuntu compatibility. I believe
almost all the problems are fixed now. The remaining part is
ovirt-host-deploy. Indeed standalone VDSM installs and runs on Ubuntu
well, but we need otopi and ovirt-host-deploy to make a Ubuntu host
under the management of Engine. As I mentioned, the things left are
adding apt-get support in otopi and finishing reviewing the upsteam
configNetwork.py patches in VDSM. Do you mean I should open RFE bz of
otopi and ovirt-host-deploy?
