Description of problem: The qemu-kvm RPM in RHEL-8 has changed to allow more granularity of install. The 'qemu-kvm' RPM pulls in everything, as it did in RHEL-7. The 'qemu-kvm-core' RPM only pulls in the core QEMU functionality, without many block drivers. Apps can opt-in to depending on qemu-kvm-block-{curl,ssh,rbd,glusterfs}. OpenStack would definitely require 'rbd'. If it does not require the others, then there would be a benefit to using the modular RPM packages instead of qemu-kvm, to avoid pulling in the curl/glusterfs/ssh dependancy chain.
Update: Here is the in-progress change[1]. The only thing remaining to be addressed to make the spec work for both CentOS-7 *and* RHEL-8. [1] https://review.rdoproject.org/r/#/c/19556/ -- "Use granular libvirt and QEMU RPMs for RHEL-8 Nova" * * * Change log of the patch so far: v5: - Fix accidental typo in NOTE-3, and rewrite it for clarity v4: - Cull more libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-* deps [DanPB] - Use 'qemu_version' macro for Fedora too [LYarwood] v3: - Remove some more libvirt RPMs that Nova doesn't use [DanPB, LYarwood] - Define a macro for libvirt and QEMU versions [LYarwood] - Update QEMU and libvirt versions - Use Pagure URL in the commit message, as Fedora 'cgit' is being killed soon [PUiterwijk] v2: - Avoid the catch-all 'libvirt-daemon-driver-storage' and 'libvirt-daemon-kvm' RPMs and use granular libvirt RPMs [DanPB] - Make QEMU's sub-package versions depend on Advanced Virt (3.1.0) instead of RHEL-8 "module stream" (8.0.0) [Danilo] - Remove "virt differentiation" remark from note [DanPB]
This is now merged in RDO (and also available in RHOS-15). Relevant three commits: https://github.com/rdo-packages/nova-distgit/commit/4e490d2348c -- Use granular libvirt and QEMU RPMs for EL-8 Nova https://github.com/rdo-packages/nova-distgit/commit/31aa08e2f18 -- Fix the EL-8 QEMU and libvirt package names https://github.com/rdo-packages/nova-distgit/commit/da8451ce92f -- Make Fedora use granular libvirt & QEMU sub-RPMs
