remove qemu-kvm-tools-rhev package dependency for realtime-virtual-guest profile
Last modified: 2017-08-01 08:32:51 EDT
Description of problem: The package tuned-profiles-nfv contains the profile definitions for realtime-virtual-host and realtime-virtual-guest. This package has a dependency on qemu-kvm-tools-rhev. The reason for this dependency is so ensure the image named tscdeadline_latency.flat (in /usr/share/qemu-kvm) is installed. This image is needed to set up the profile called realtime-virtual-host. The tscdeadline_latency.flat image is not needed to set up the realtime-virtual-guest profile, but--because the dependency exists--the guest must also install qemu-kvm-tools-rhev. This is problematic for our customers, because it requires them to install an unnecessary package in the guest. It's problematic for some internal processes as well. Please split tuned-profiles-nfv into host- and guest-specific packages; the dependency on qemu-kvm-tools-rhev should only be on the package containing the realtime-virtual-host profile. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tuned-profiles-nfv-2.7.1-3.el7_3.1.noarch How reproducible: Install tuned-profiles-nfv Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install tuned-profiles-nfv Actual results: qemu-kvm-tools-rhev is also installed. Expected results: qemu-kvm-tools-rhev is a dependency only for the realtime-virtual-host profile. It is not a dependency for the realtime-virtual-guest profile. Additional info:
I am going to resolve it the following way: - add tuned-profiles-nfv-host and tuned-profiles-nfv-guest packages - keep tuned-profiles-nfv package which will only require tuned-profiles-nfv-host and tuned-profiles-nfv-guest for backward compatibility

============================ Verified in: tuned-2.8.0-1.el7.noarch PASS ============================ 1] If I want only profile realtime-virtual-guest, I can install only tuned-profiles-nfv-guest package without any dependency. # yum install tuned-profiles-nfv-guest ... Installing: tuned-profiles-nfv-guest noarch 2.8.0-1.el7 /tuned-profiles-nfv-guest-2.8.0-1.el7.noarch 2.4 k ... 2] If I want profile realtime-virtual-host, it needs also missing dependency qemu-kvm-tools-rhev # yum install tuned-profiles-nfv-host ... Installing: tuned-profiles-nfv-host noarch 2.8.0-1.el7 /tuned-profiles-nfv-host-2.8.0-1.el7.noarch 6.3 k Installing for dependencies: qemu-kvm-tools-rhev x86_64 10:2.6.0-28.el7_3.6 rhel-7-server-rhev-mgmt-agent-rpms 291 k ... 3] If I want to install an old package tuned-profiles-nfv, it installs also packages tuned-profiles-nfv-{guest,host} profiles and missing dependency qemu-kvm-tools-rhev. Package tuned-profiles-nfv still exists because of backward compatibility. # yum install tuned-profiles-nfv ...
