[ovirt-users] 4.0 x 4.1

[Pavel Gashev]

Didi,

For example, BZ#1389251. It doesn’t look very serious. Actually “User is not able to edit her profile” is a side effect. Since users logged in by LDAP group permissions just did not have accounts in the engine, users did lose their access to created VMs after logout. This was a showstopper for me. Together with BZ#1382357 and BZ#1391146 User Portal was unusable. Fixes are simple and don’t affect the DB structure.

The latest nightly snapshot was broken by BZ#1402401 at the moment. I didn’t feel myself lucky enough to have the next snapshot without new regressions. So I had applied the fixes to 4.0.5.5.

Actually, you can do that proactively - if you consider upgrading to
some version, you can search bugzilla for bugs targetted to the next
one, and if any of them look serious, wait.

I personally had to build my own hot-fix oVirt release with all the fixes and without changes under development. I can only guess what other users experienced.

See my earlier reply in this thread about the risks you take by doing that.

That said, if that's what you want, you can also use the 4.0 nightly snapshot:

https://www.ovirt.org/develop/dev-process/install-nightly-snapshot/

Was using this significantly different than what you built yourself?

Best,
