Description Sandro Bonazzola 2015-09-30 08:29:14 UTC

ovirt-engine is using python-cheetah for handling the templates used within the project.

python-cheetah didn't receive updates since 2012 and is not available on RHEL 7.2.

Since we're dropping el6 support in 4.0 we should migrate to a template engine available in el7 like python-jinja2[1] which is
available in 7.2 and still actively developed (last commit is on August
6th).

Comment 1 Sandro Bonazzola 2015-09-30 08:30:26 UTC

Juan if we migrate to python-jinja2 will it require changes on Java side as well?

Comment 2 Juan Hernández 2015-09-30 08:33:38 UTC

I believe it won't require changes in the Java side.

Comment 3 Red Hat Bugzilla Rules Engine 2015-10-19 11:00:17 UTC

Target release should be placed once a package build is known to fix a issue. Since this bug is not modified, the target version has been reset. Please use target milestone to plan a fix for a oVirt release.

Comment 4 Jiri Belka 2016-07-01 09:29:23 UTC

ok,

[root@jb-rhevm40 ~]# rpm -qR ovirt-engine-backend | grep python-
python-jinja2
[root@jb-rhevm40 ~]# rpm -qa \*cheetah\*
[root@jb-rhevm40 ~]# rpm -q ovirt-engine-backend
ovirt-engine-backend-4.0.0.6-0.1.el7ev.noarch

Comment 5 Sandro Bonazzola 2016-07-05 07:42:57 UTC

oVirt 4.0.0 has been released, closing current release.
