Description Alfredo Moralejo 2021-09-10 08:04:55 UTC
Description of problem:

rhel 9 is replacing genisoimage with xorriso

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1971840

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

openstack-nova-compute should not depend on genisoimage

Actual results:

openstack-nova-compute has a Requires on genisoimage

Expected results:

openstack-nova-compute should not have a Requires on genisoimage

Comment 2 Lee Yarwood 2021-09-14 10:12:11 UTC
We can either switch over to mkisofs entirely as the default in code or in THT, I really don't mind which but given the time in the cycle the former will take some time to land and will need to be backported downstream.

Comment 3 Alan Pevec 2021-09-15 12:38:37 UTC
Since it was mentioned as an option on program call, I would like in advance to NACK packaging genisoimage ourselves in OSP17 - there's compat script in xorriso and we could change default value for Nova config parameter mkisofs_cmd

Yeah that may of come from some initial confusion on my side as the xorriso command itself isn't compatible with genisoimage while as you say the mkisofs utility the package provides is. I'm attempting to switch things over to use it now.

Comment 9 Jon Schlueter 2021-11-01 12:56:59 UTC
I believe all relevent patches have been included and the criticial patch for nova is included in openstack-nova-23.1.0-0.20211028110417.e39bbdc.el9ost
