Currently, rhevm provides embedded 3rd party java dependencies that are missing from rhel, this includes: apache-commons-compress apache-commons-configuration apache-commons-jxpath apache-commons-lang apache-mina apache-sshd jakarta-commons-httpclient postgresql-jdbc quartz spring-ldap springframework-* xmlrpc-client To allow greater flexibility to release 3rd party fixes and push security fixes, a separate package can be added to allow updating dependencies without product update. The rhevm package will create symlinks for these components instead of embed them. We can discuss if we want to enable this service for centos as well.
QA note: # find /usr/share/ovirt-engine -type f -name '*.jar' Should result in just: frontend.jar gwt-extension.jar All other jars are symlinks, either to /usr/share/java/ovirt-engine which is own package or to /usr/share/java/rhevm-dependencies/ which is rhevm-dependencies.
tested on is18. Verified. after yum install rhevm find /usr/share/ovirt-engine -type f -name '*.jar' /usr/share/ovirt-engine/engine.ear/webadmin.war/WEB-INF/lib/frontend.jar /usr/share/ovirt-engine/engine.ear/webadmin.war/WEB-INF/lib/gwt-extension.jar /usr/share/ovirt-engine/engine.ear/userportal.war/WEB-INF/lib/frontend.jar /usr/share/ovirt-engine/engine.ear/userportal.war/WEB-INF/lib/gwt-extension.jar
