[release-4.6] Bug 1894310: baremetal: pin libvirt to 4.5.0 #4340
Conversation
The latest version of RHEL ships with libvirt 6.x, which are now in yum repositories used to build the CI containers. However, when running an installer built that's linked against it on an older RHEL host, the installer fails: ``` $ ocp/ostest/openshift-baremetal-install --dir ocp/ostest --log-level=debug create manifests ocp/ostest/openshift-baremetal-install: /lib64/libvirt.so.0: version ```LIBVIRT_5.2.0' not found (required by ocp/ostest/openshift-baremetal-install) [...snip...] ``` According to the [RHEL 8 ABI Guarantees](https://access.redhat.com/articles/rhel8-abi-compatibility), "an application is only guaranteed to run correctly if it executes in an environment that is as new as the environment it was built in or newer." Therefore, we must build openshift baremetal installer against the oldest version of the libvirt libraries we expect it to run against, which is 4.5.x. Long term, the libvirt team is looking at not linking to libvirt at compile time, but rather use `dlopen("libvirt.so")` at runtime, and then `dlsym("funcname")` to resolve functions at time they are first invoked.
