Description Sandro Bonazzola 2014-11-12 10:27:30 UTC
Allow to use ubuntu (and similar) as hosts (not for engine at this step)

Comment 1 Sandro Bonazzola 2015-02-23 10:00:55 UTC
Moved from Ubuntu to Debian.

Comment 2 Sven Kieske 2015-07-01 08:21:28 UTC
The feature page is hopelessly out of date, can someone update it, please?

Comment 3 Sven Kieske 2015-07-22 08:11:10 UTC
I still wonder what the scope of this feature is.

It seems to me, that the scope is "just" about porting vdsm.

Meanwhile in announcements it is stated 3.6. will "support" debian hosts.

from a user perspective this would mean to me, that I can install a debian host in ovirt the same way I can do it with fedora, centos or the node image.

But I guess this will not work, will it?

If I'm right I suggest to document this more clearly in order to avoid confusion.

Thanks

That is the aim.

3.6 alpha 3 was packed also for Debian Jessie.
Everything is needed to deploy the host should be in the repo.

The Debian support is currently highly experimental and we really need to have a lot of test activities to have something stable.
If you mind please help us trying it on testing environments.

Closing older BZs, if still happened, please reopen.
