<p>Based on personal attempts to rebuild ovirt for EL6 the biggest hurdle I ran into is build dependencies.</p>
<p>Thanks to the help of Dreyou Im using the work around of a binary download of Maven and packages from jpackage repo. Ive built latest vdsm without much issue and am setting up my mock environment to rebuild the latest ovirt-engine release.</p>
<p>Before Dreyou's repo I spent considerable time attempting to rebuild Fedora SRPMs in EL6 to meet all dependencies but there were numerous circular dependency issues building maven2 in EL6. This was before 3.1 and have not attempted a full dependency build since.</p>
<p>Id be interested in knowing what other challenges exist for an EL6 release and would like to help where I can.</p>
