What requirements are not available. Can I help? I'm looking for PPC support! Hey Ramon, the reason is that some dependencies are not available on ARM (dunno about PPC). E.g. libvirt cim or so it was. Additionally - at least on arm - the installation will probably fail as it is tied to grub2?.

Yes, libvirt-cim is not available on ARM > > Additionally - at least on arm - the installation will probably fail as it > is tied to grub2?. grub2 causes build failures as well since we "require" grub2 in our base ovirt-node package. As for PPC, it's not a primary architecture on Fedora (AFAIK). The main problem here is that we depend on qemu-kvm which is not available on ppc. (In reply to Mike Burns from comment #4) > As for PPC, it's not a primary architecture on Fedora (AFAIK). The main > problem here is that we depend on qemu-kvm which is not available on ppc. qemu-kvm is available on ppc64: http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=208990 *Running* KVM on PPC64 requires special hardware with KVM support though. libvirt-cim and grub2 are also available on Fedora ppc64. We're considering a different node implementation for oVirt 4.0. Hence, closing this RFE. Please re-open if relevant. |
