Suggestion to use nightly
As discussed in oVirt Users mailing list
<https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/DMCC5QCHL6EC...>
we suggest the user community to use oVirt master snapshot repositories
<https://ovirt.org/develop/dev-process/install-nightly-snapshot.html>
ensuring that the latest fixes for the platform regressions will be
promptly available.
This oVirt 4.5.5 release is meant to provide what has been made available
in nightly repositories as base for new installations.
If you are already using oVirt master snapshot you should already have
received this release content.
