Description Jonathon Jongsma 2022-08-23 21:14:56 UTC

version 3.2.0 is getting fairly old now and rhel9 includes virt-manager 4.0.0. Rebase the rhel8 build to keep rhel8/9 in sync.

Comment 1 John Ferlan 2022-10-18 12:37:59 UTC

Update DTM=15 - package updates should be completed before ITM=20 (around mid January) for inclusion with Comprehensive Test Cycle 2.

I do suggest you talk with Cole Robinson about rebasing upstream into RHEL 8 as he expressed concerns about some defaults that may have changed upstream that won't be compatible with RHEL 8.

Comment 2 Jonathon Jongsma 2022-10-26 19:03:24 UTC

@crobinso

As John mentions above, I do vaguely recall you advising against rebasing in past rhel8 releases. I thought it was mostly about the significant UI changes, but I guess there were some defaults that were changed as well. Do you still think we should keep virt-manager at v3.2 in 8.8?

Comment 3 Cole Robinson 2022-10-30 18:43:30 UTC

Yeah I don't think we should rebase. The main concerning bit in 4.0 is virt-install mandating --os-variant. Breaking people's scripts at this point in RHEL8 cycle seems like it could start some fires.

Is there any particular pressing issue that requires a rebase?

Comment 4 Jonathon Jongsma 2022-10-31 14:23:05 UTC

No, there's nothing pressing that requires a rebase. I just thought it would make maintenance easier to have rhel 8 and 9 on similar releases, but I had forgotten about the incompatibilities. We should be able to backport stuff to rhel8 without too much trouble.
