I think you can have your own repo file, with a different name/id
but same mirrorlist/baseurl. Didn't try. That way, it won't be
overwritten if you later update ovirt-release40. This one won't
be updated anymore, now that 4.1 is out, but the same applies to
4.1 of course.

I updated the 4.1 release notes adding a note about EPEL.

Added the needed packages at the end of the includepkgs line
of [ovirt-4.0-epel] section of ovirt-4.0-dependencies.repo

Generally speaking, we add epel with specific packages to ovirt-release*.rpm,
and do not support all of epel. In practice, the only problem I personally
know of is with epel packages that also exist in other ovirt-release* repos,
perhaps in different versions.

A recent example we bumped into:

https://gerrit.ovirt.org/71386

ovirt-live uses its own set of repos, and used all of epel, and epel has
a newer version of collectd than in the opstools repo (which is what we
use). But it doesn't have collectd-write_http. So jenkins failed:

Perhaps add them with includepkgs, to be on the safe side, and not
all of epel.

We've been running CentOS 7 with the epel, ovirt, gluster & zabbix repos on
all of our hosts.for a good few months now, without issue.

[ovirt-users] Safe to install/use epel repository?

2017-01-31 Thread Gianluca Cecchi
This in CentOS 7.3 plain hosts used as hypervisors and intended for oVirt
4.0 and 4.1 hosts.
In particular for performance related packages such as
bwm-ng
iftop
htop
nethogs
and the like.
Thanks,
Gianluca
