#737 F17 Feature: oVirt - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/oVirt
Closed None Opened 12 years ago by rbergero.

There were rumours that ovirt will need JbossAS7 for proper functionality. Is it true? FESCo didn't approve this feature yet https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/800 because many packages were not reviewed.
Do you need JbossAS7 for main functionality or could you work without it? If we won't accept this feature, should be also ovirt removed from accepted features for F-17?

Thanks for your thoughts,

Marcela

The oVirt-engine indeed has dependency in jboss AS7, but there are other oVirt components that don't have this dependency:
For example, the oVirt-cli and the oVirt-sdk doesn't depend on Jboss, and they are useful in managing a remote oVirt engine (connecting to the engine, performing actions on it, viewing status of resources and etc.).

We are currently working with Jboss to help them close their gaps, and hopefully both Jboss and the oVirt packages will make it to Fedora on time.

Marcela,

JBoss AS 7 was accepted as a feature on on [http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/teams/fesco/fesco.2012-01-30-17.56.html FESCo meeting on 30th Jan]. The corresponding ticket is #785.

Mentioned by you ticket (#800) is about having an exception for this feature as described on [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Feature_Freeze_Policy the wiki]. Most probably I choose the wrong type for this ticket (zFeature) which lead to some misunderstanding here.

We work very closely with upstream and oVirt guys to provide a full required feature set to at least run oVirt on top of AS7. Everything else we package will be a bonus. Of course we'll be extending the feature set with new package submissions over the time. In general it would be nice to have a [http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr316/index.html Web profile] in AS7 at the time of F17.

To recap: I'm sure we will provide everything oVirt needs.
