Just to clarify some terms.... as I got some feedback of confusion.
oVirt is an UPSTREAM project, it is the source origin (manufacturer).
Fedora is a DOWNSTREAM to oVirt, it is a distribution that provides the oVirt
product.
My understanding is that Fedora is very much an upstream of oVirt Node,
in that it provides a component of what becomes oVirt Node.
I would not call the OS downstream in general... downstream is "code
flows there from somewhere else" - commercially sold products and
services around integrated/patched/nicely packages open source code.
Whereas distributions are aggregations of components. They're delivery
mechanisms. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a downstream of Fedora, and an
upstream for CentOS in some sense, but I don't think it's a downstream
of (say) MySQL. It's just a delivery channel.
Cheers,
Dave.
