Description Vojtech Szocs 2016-05-06 14:24:31 UTC 
It would be nice to have some "ovirt-engine-filesystem" sub-package of Engine, containing only the most important Engine directories (e.g. defining directory structure).

Projects that need to add files into Engine's directories would simply

  BuildRequires: ovirt-engine-filesystem

instead of

  BuildRequires: ovirt-engine-backend

which is very inefficient as it pulls tons of stuff (Engine + all of its dependencies) during given project's build.

Real world use case:

oVirt Dashboard [1] needs to add symlinks into /usr/share/ovirt-engine/ui-plugins directory.

Comment 1 Sandro Bonazzola 2016-05-09 14:53:35 UTC 
It would be useful also for uploaders and log collector. It's a technical debt more than a RFE.
Comment 2 Sandro Bonazzola 2016-05-12 14:46:57 UTC 
Won't be in 4.0, missing agreement between developers.
Comment 4 Sandro Bonazzola 2016-08-26 13:26:38 UTC 
No consensus reached and not enough interest in having this fixed. Closing as wontfix.
