Hi Vitally,

When check latest hyperv-daemons-0-0.30.20161211git.el7.x86_64.rpm, looks that it does not have dependency on hyperv-tools-0-0.30.20161211git.el7.noarch.rpm, could you please help to confirm whether this is by purpose?

[root@rhel7-3 ~]# rpm -qpR hyperv-daemons-0-0.30.20161211git.el7.x86_64.rpm 
hypervkvpd = 0-0.30.20161211git.el7
hypervvssd = 0-0.30.20161211git.el7
hypervfcopyd = 0-0.30.20161211git.el7
rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1

If we add the dependency there it'll become mandatory for everyone who already has hyperv-daemons installed and it looks like an overkill: hyperv-tools package is not really required for hyperv-daemons, one can easily live without it. Please let me know what you think, I can add the dependency if you think it's worth it.

Thank you Vitaly, I agree with you, no need to add dependency.

Comment 7 Chris 2017-05-13 14:13:09 UTC
Based on the packaging dep, is this still in plan to be picked-up in 7.4?

Comment 8 xuli 2017-05-15 02:39:33 UTC
Hi Chris, 

Yes, it is already picked up in 7.4.

Need to install hyperv-tools separately, and it's repo located at /compose/Server-optional/x86_64/os/. 

[root@dhcp-10-77 ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i hyperv
hypervvssd-0-0.30.20161211git.el7.x86_64
hypervkvpd-0-0.30.20161211git.el7.x86_64
hyperv-daemons-0-0.30.20161211git.el7.x86_64
hyperv-daemons-license-0-0.30.20161211git.el7.noarch
hypervfcopyd-0-0.30.20161211git.el7.x86_64
hyperv-tools-0-0.30.20161211git.el7.noarch

Verify pass on 7.4 Beta release, so close this bug.

Comment 9 Chris 2017-06-13 09:48:33 UTC
Thank you!

Verified this on 7.4 Snapshot 2, we can close the bug.
