Description Michal Skrivanek 2017-08-14 09:48:10 EDT
release same package as in 4.1
Comment 3 Sandro Bonazzola 2017-10-13 05:53:34 EDT
Michal, I see OpenStack is shipping novnc-0.6.1 instead of novnc-0.5.1.
0.6.1 is availablein EPEL https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=786270
Do we need it in oVirt / RHV?

I believe we should - it supposed to offer some performance improvements and better display resizing. However, looks like we better use 0.6.2, which has a security fix (see https://github.com/novnc/noVNC/releases )

Moving this back to assigned then, thanks
Comment 6 Michal Skrivanek 2017-10-16 07:34:43 EDT
that is not relevant, we do not use that part.
Compatibility with our oVirt integration is not guaranteed, everytime in the past there was a breakage, so we need to check it first anyway. Then we see if we upgrade or not
Comment 7 Michal Skrivanek 2017-10-16 07:41:41 EDT
for now, this is what we go out with
opened a separate bug 1502652 for update and let's see where it lands
Comment 8 Michal Skrivanek 2017-10-17 07:46:06 EDT
Sandro, lrotenbe noticed that 0.6.2 has been added yesterday into http://cbs.centos.org/repos/virt7-ovirt-42-testing/$basearch/os/
Do you know why? Can it be removed?
It does break the functionality of the current 4.2 testing

0.6.2 has security fixes so it has been built to address the security issue.
Please adapt oVirt to match newer version since we can't keep relying on a version with security issues. See above comments for rationale.
Comment 10 Michal Skrivanek 2017-11-03 10:33:24 EDT
Which security issue? Is it relevant to RHV? It didn't seem to me so.
Once it is relevant the upgrade is going to be treated urgently, otherwise it's just a regular priority tracked in bug 1502652
