Description Yedidyah Bar David 2017-10-19 13:26:39 UTC
Description of problem:

At some point ovirt-host was split to a main package and a sub-package ovirt-host-dependencies.

From the current content of the package, including all git history, it's not clear why.

AFAIU it was done to help solve the following dependency loop:

ovirt-host Requires: ovirt-hosted-engine-setup
ovirt-hosted-engine-setup Requires: ovirt-host

The first is needed because we want every ovirt host to have the hosted-engine-setup package (even if we are not going to use it), also especially (but not only) for ovirt-node.

The second is needed because in ovirt-hosted-engine-setup we do not want to repeat the entire list of dependencies - we want to use ovirt-host, that's what it was intended for - see bug 1461083.

I think we can solve this by removing the second one, and instead:

1. Add to ovirt-hosted-engine-setup only the real things it actually does require.

2. Change the hosted-engine documentation, and tell to install 'ovirt-host' when starting a deploy, instead of 'ovirt-hosted-engine-setup'.

Comment 1 Red Hat Bugzilla Rules Engine 2017-11-13 08:43:01 UTC
Target release should be placed once a package build is known to fix a issue. Since this bug is not modified, the target version has been reset. Please use target milestone to plan a fix for a oVirt release.

Closing old bugs.
Please reopen if still relevant.
Patches are welcomed.
