Fixed In Version: Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: engine-setup relied on a specific yum group to define a set of additional packages to be updated. Consequence: If such a group was not available for any reason, these additional packages were not updated. Fix: engine-setup was changed to not rely on such a group and instead have this list hard-coded in it. This list can be overridden by an answer file if needed. Result: The list of packages to upgrade is independent of the yum repository management so they are always updated.

Description Yedidyah Bar David 2015-11-30 09:07:03 UTC
Description of problem:

engine-setup currently depends on yum groups ('ovirt-engine-X.Y', 'rhevmXY' in rhevm) for installing/updating extra packages.

This does not work well upstream for some time now (since 3.5.0 was released or so) and so we do not create there yum groups.

Downstream it requires quite a lot of maintenance, having to create such a group and maintain it per release, in various different environments (CI, QE production), is often forgotten.

We should drop this functionality, stop creating these yum groups, and instead using the existing functionality that allows doing that by adding lists of packages to be installed/updated to osetupcons.RPMDistroEnv.PACKAGES_UPGRADE_LIST .

Since we do not have this group in 3.6 currently (not in upstream which is already GA, nor in downstream CI), I propose to accept this bug for 3.6. Patches to add the relevant packages were prepared, and we can drop the functionality later (in 4.0).

Comment 1 Yaniv Lavi 2015-12-02 21:14:07 UTC
Needs to be discussed in scrub, un-approving for now.

Comment 2 Yedidyah Bar David 2016-01-11 08:22:50 UTC
setting requires_doc_text to '-' because we do not use it upstream, and downstream we have bug 1286660, not need to have both.

Comment 3 Lukas Svaty 2016-01-21 15:04:54 UTC
as sanity tests with yum passed on this codechange moving to verify
tested with rhevm-3.6.2.6-0.1.el6.noarch
