Add notification to Admin Portal when a newer version is available for RHEV-M/RHEV-H/vdsm/tools. Customers are not upgrading their RHEV environments most of the time because they are not aware about new versions available. Since they work on RHEV via Admin Portal it should be a good place to put a notification on it when a newer version is available. Location: either on top of Admin Portal or as a notification message each time before login.
alon - is there an easy way of doing this with all the new otopi/yum-api work?
(In reply to comment #1) > alon - is there an easy way of doing this with all the new otopi/yum-api > work? Yes, no problem to do this, just confirmed. Question: what is the method? I think best is to send email notification... If not, we can have crond script to use engine-config to put something as option... Not sure if this is better than file based trigger.
commit 5d7ca9210bdd498083a1ddfd3a7367075d4f8c60 Author: Alon Bar-Lev <alonbl> Date: Mon Jan 14 14:20:02 2013 +0200 packaging: periodically check if ovirt-engine upgrade available Using yum API and version lock plugin disabled check if there is a newer version of ovirt-engine package. If there is, create a trigger file at: /var/cache/ovirt-engine/engine-upgrade.available It is the responsibility of the engine to monitor this trigger and clean when act upon. COMPONENTS engine-upgrade-check.py A simple utility to check if update is available. It will echo AVAILABLE if it finds update. engine-upgrade-check.cron cron.d script to be executed daily. Uses engine-upgrade-check.py to detect update and creates the trigger.
