Comment 1 Yaniv Kaul 2016-03-13 11:16:51 EDT

Is this going to be handled in 4.0?

Comment 2 Yaniv Bronhaim 2016-04-18 07:16:40 EDT

part of the work is on progress (https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/52508/) but still delayed. hopefully we'll get to fix it to 4.0. The urgency is not high and this doesn't block anything. its a bit complex due to vdsm template files

Comment 3 Sandro Bonazzola 2016-05-02 06:02:17 EDT

Moving from 4.0 alpha to 4.0 beta since 4.0 alpha has been already released and bug is not ON_QA.

Comment 4 Yaniv Bronhaim 2016-11-29 05:22:52 EST

I rechecked that again. We can fix specific parts but the main issue is our way of generating the in files during make. In distcheck the generated files are not generated in the dist folder

I do not see us investing more time in this use case. please re-open if relevant
