[CentOS-virt] oVirt gaps for Virtualization SIG

[Sandro Bonazzola]

Hi,
following up to CentOS Virt SIG meeting here is a quick review of the gaps we have for porting ovirt within CentOS Koji.

On the manager side, in order to properly build ovirt-engine (the main package in oVirt project) we're missing several pre-requisites.

We're relying on a binary packaging of jboss-as 7.1 we ship as ovirt-engine-jboss-as.
So first step should be to rebuild Fedora 19 JBoss rpms within CentOS 7.

We're also using maven for building ovirt-engine. A proper packaging for using koji as build system requires to re-package ovirt-engine following
fedora guidelines [1]. Issue here is that we're missing lot of maven dependencies like google GWT not yet packaged in Fedora and also other
dependencies available in Fedora but not in CentOS 7 like:

 apache-sshd >= 0.11.0
 checkstyle >= 5.4
 dbunit >= 2.4.8
 infinispan >= 5.2.5
 javapackages-local
 jboss-modules >= 1.1.1
 maven-checkstyle-plugin >= 2.9.1
 maven-jaxb2-plugin >= 0.8.1
 maven-processor-plugin >= 1.3.7
 openstack-java-client >= 3.0.6
 openstack-java-glance-client >= 3.0.6
 openstack-java-keystone-client >= 3.0.6
 openstack-java-quantum-client >= 3.0.6
 openstack-java-resteasy-connector >= 3.0.6
 powermock-junit4 >= 1.5
 quartz >= 2.1.2
 snmp4j >= 2.2.2
 spring-ldap >= 1.3.1
 springframework-test >= 3.1.1

On the host side we've been able to build everything in koji. Some dependencies have been rebuilt from EPEL but other than that we should be fine[2].
Only blocker we have on this is qemu-kvm-rhev, we discussed about the rhev suffix during the meeting and we haven't reached an agreement yet within
oVirt on how to handle it.
