[ovirt-announce] [ovirt-users] [ANN] oVirt 4.1.5 General Availability Release is now available

[Lev Veyde]

Hi Michal,

Take a look at i.e.
http://plain.resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.1/rpm/el7/noarch/

There are multiple versions of packages there.
Please note that yum by default will hide all but the most recent version.

Thanks in advance,
