I hope the redhat dev team keeps that in mind when changing stuff
in el7.

As you point out, the qemu-kvm version is one of the most interesting
things, especially the compiler flags (live migration anyone?).



1. we currently provide the qemu-kvm-rhev package via an ovirt jenkins
   build, while we work with CentOS virt/cloud SIGs to try and resolve
   this within CentOS.

2. Yes, we are looking at .el7 support. I'm hoping/assuming a community
   edition will be available around 3.5 GA to consider it.

3. I think Fabian replied in the past they moved ovirt-node to be .el6
   based, rather than fedora based to reduce the churn.

There's been a bit of chatter about what is required for Fedora 20 support for

I can't seem to find newer fedora19 based node isos anymore.  Has there been a 
conscious decision to standardize on the el6 based node iso?
Is an F20 based node iso something that is being worked on?

I hear that el7 might be announced this month.  Presumably Centos 7.0 won't be 
far away after that.
I've done some test installs of RHEL 7 beta to get a look at what packages are 
in use.
Of particular interest to me is the qemu-kvm package - the version of which 
seem to be important for live snapshots and live migrations (something we don't 
seem to do well right now).
EL beta7 has this version - qemu-kvm-1.5.3-19.el7.x86_64.rpm

Given the issues with needing newer versions of certain packages than what is 
in EL 6.5, is this situation likely to be improved greatly when Centos 7 is 
available?
I don't recall seeing much discussion about ovirt running under el7.  Is this 
being looked at at this stage, or given the fact there is only a beta of rhel7  
to work with right now are we just waiting for the release before deciding too 
much?

[Users] el7 based node? el7 as a supported platform for ovirt?

2014-04-01 Thread Paul Jansen
Hi.
There's been a bit of chatter about what is required for Fedora 20 support for 
ovirt.
I can't seem to find newer fedora19 based node isos anymore.  Has there been a 
conscious decision to standardize on the el6 based node iso?
Is an F20 based node iso something that is being worked on?

I hear that el7 might be announced this month.  Presumably Centos 7.0 won't be 
far away after that.
