Hi,
I have opened some bugs about VDSM dependencies that cannot be satisfied in the ppc64, these include newer versions of QEMU, libvirt and libguestfs.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1063799 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1057557 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1064438
The first issue is the lack of a libguestfs package for Fedora Core 19 and 20, this is being worked on. Another issue is that in order to support the 3.4 cluster compatibility level, VDSM requires a newer version of libvirt than the one shipped with FC19, which cannot be found anywhere for ppc64. The final issue is a bug in QEMU 1.4.2 that prevents VMs created through libvirt from running, this was fixed in later versions but also there is not a package for FC19 that has this fix.
So, what do you suggest? Should a virt-preview repo be created for ppc64? What about RHEL6?
virt-preview would be an option, if I had ppc64 hardware to do the builds :)
ppc-koji? http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/
virt-preview often requires building a new library, then building a package within virt-preview against that new library. There's no way to do that in one shot using koji as far as I know, unless we request a custom tag and use chain-build. And it would take a lot of work to adapt my scripts to work with koji since I use mock locally now.
My recommendation is that if someone is sufficiently interested in ppc64 virt-preview that they can set it up themselves, and I'd be happy to help and share my script.
