+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1267508 +++ 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). [1] http://jinja.pocoo.org/ --- Additional comment from Sandro Bonazzola on 2015-09-30 11:30:26 IDT --- Juan if we migrate to python-jinja2 will it require changes on Java side as well? --- Additional comment from Juan Hernández on 2015-09-30 11:33:38 IDT --- I believe it won't require changes in the Java side. --- Additional comment from Red Hat Bugzilla Rules Engine on 2015-10-19 14:00:17 IDT --- 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.
Currently reportsd start fails with: Apr 04 09:59:36 didi-centos7.eng.lab.tlv.redhat.com ovirt-engine-re[25632]: 2016-04-04 09:59:36,047 ovirt-engine-reportsd: ERROR run:532 Error: cannot find 'getstring' getstring was removed from engine/common code as part of the engine clone bug 1267508. I am not going to restore it or open a different bug about this, instead migrate reports to jinja2 too.
Moving from 4.0 alpha to 4.0 beta since 4.0 alpha has been already released and bug is not ON_QA.
Re-targeting to 4.1 since 4.0 won't have reports.
Closing for now. Please reopen if relevant.
