We should publish all RHEV-H packages as a manifest of what was tested by QE. Location - in package manifest document: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.6/html/Package_Manifest/index.html
What packages is this needed for? Do want every single package in the RHEV-H image?
I am not sure. I think it is discussed here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1344020#c8
How would we get the versions for : imgbased ioprocess libcacard-ev libcacard-tools-ev mom ovirt-imageio-common ovirt-imageio-daemon ovirt-vmconsole ovirt-vmconsole-host python-ioprocess qemu-img-ev qemu-kvm-common-ev qemu-kvm-ev qemu-kvm-tools-ev vdsm vdsm-cli vhostmd vm-dump-metrics Provided with RHV.Next with every release?
We can pull this very easily with libguestfs. Grab the squashfs (or the RPM -- and extract it; or the ISO -- and extract it), and: guestfish --ro -a rhev-hypervisor7-ng-4.0-20160701.0.x86_64.liveimg.squashfs run : mount /dev/sda / : mount-loop /LiveOS/rootfs.img / : sh "list of packages" I can get a oneliner using the ISO as well, if that's easier. What's the best mechanism to deliver the manifest? The errata tool doesn't like non-RPM files, and brew isn't very friendly for some teams/users.
We need some automated way for docs to pull this out. Any suggestion on getting the latest in each release?

I think a script is the best way. Lucy keep me honest.
Lucy - Ping. Any thoughts on this?

We now have a ability to extract all packages included in RHV-H (aka the tested set). Do we want to list all the packages for every z release (100+ packages)? Or do we want to only list the more interesting ones that are from the RHEL channels like qemu-kvm-rhev\sanlock\libvirt? What would CEE prefer?
Yaniv, as I said on comment#2, I agree with you having a limited set of packages that actually matters to us. I think it should list all the packages listed in: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1344020
Hey Marina - I wonder if we shouldn't just provide changed packages. Using a list there means that we potentially don't link to errata for changes in platform batch updates, and especially rhel-extras packages (cockpit in particular), which can change a lot between images...
Can you reply on comment 14?
Sorry for late answer. I think this will work, as long as we have a base list of packages starting GA and later just list of updated packages.
*** Bug 1413732 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Ryan Barry and Andrew Dahms have now updated the manifest-updater tool to allow it to download images and list the packages included. An example of this output is published here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.1/html-single/package_manifest/#redhat-virtualization-host-4.1-20170417.0 The comparison functionality (base packages vs updated in a z-stream) has also been implemented, but its output will not be included until the first z-stream of 4.1 has been shipped. I'd like to move this bug to CLOSED now. Marina, is that acceptable to you?

Marina, is that acceptable to you? Looks good Lucy. Thanks! We can go ahead and close this.
Thanks, Anitha! And for reference, we've now published an update that includes the comparison functionality (only those packages that were updated with that release): https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.1/html-single/package_manifest/#redhat-virtualization-host-4.1-20170522.0 A big thanks to Ryan Barry and Andrew Dahms for enabling this new functionality! Moving to CLOSED.
