Hi all,

Building rpms is failing now on my development machine due to new
build requirements:

rpmbuild -ta  \
vdsm-4.17.999.tar.gz
error: Failed build dependencies:
PyYAML is needed by vdsm-4.17.999-1091.git4d7d14a.fc22.x86_64
libvirt-python3 is needed by vdsm-4.17.999-1091.git4d7d14a.fc22.x86_64
mom >= 0.5.3 is needed by vdsm-4.17.999-1091.git4d7d14a.fc22.x86_64
openvswitch >= 2.0.0 is needed by vdsm-4.17.999-1091.git4d7d14a.fc22.x86_64
python3-netaddr is needed by vdsm-4.17.999-1091.git4d7d14a.fc22.x86_64

Needing a yaml package and python3-netaddr make sense, but I don't understand
why we need these packages for building vdsm:

- libvirt-python3 - we should not access libvirt using the tests
- mom - we are not running mom on a development machine
- openvswitch - we are not running this on a development machine

If these are not build requirements, please remove them.

Thanks,
Nir
