[ovirt-users] supported versions of ovirt (again)
Hi, I'd like to talk again about the support for the available ovirt versions. I have recently read some times that 3.3. is not supported anymore, e.g.: Am 12.05.2014 12:28, schrieb Dan Kenigsberg: Backporting this to the now-unsupported ovirt-3.3 is not really viable, I a m afraid. By support I guess you mean the following: There will be no updates (e.g. 3.3.6.) anymore Is this correct? Is there any way to determine how long a given x.y.z. release will get .z updates ? It would be good if there is some consistency in that, so users can better plan their own release management of new versions. e.g. (made up numbers by me): there will always be 3 z releases if a regression is found there will always be a .z release which fixes it. how many y. releases will get .z patches at the same time? I know you can't expect a totally planned support, if you need it, you could buy some well known downstream product. But at the moment it seems very random (at least to me) how long a given release is out and gets patches and when it stops getting patches. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Regards Sven Kieske Systemadministrator Mittwald CM Service GmbH Co.

So after 3.4 is GA the need for next 3.3.z is less important. I'd say after 3.4 is GA you can expect at most one or two more 3.3.z for urgent/security fixes, and by the time of 3.4.1 or 3.4.2 the updates on 3.3 would stop I think we don't deviate from this that much. The actual number of .z depends on the length of the development of next release as well as number of issues, so that varies.

Another question in this context: How long do you plan to support operating systems like RHEL6/CentOS6 with new oVirt releases/updates? Is it planned to support RHEL6 with new oVirt releases after the general availability of RHEL7?

I expect EL6 compatibility will be there for quite some time, though I don't know, someone from integration better answer, each release has some overhead to maintain.
