Of course there was a problem, please follow the link in this very commit to the according bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1127763 In short: you can not use live snapshots without this updated spec file. And it's a PITA to install this package by hand, you must track it's versions yourself etc pp. you basically lose all the stuff a proper spec file gives you. PS: I also don't get the "we want to get vdsm in every distribution" a) it was never in any distro, it was in epel, which is a third party repository anyway, so you can just provide it via ovirt repo imho. b) no one packages vdsm for debian, ubuntu, gentoo, arch, suse, $nameyourdistro or I completely missed it, so why treat fedora in a special way? Don't misunderstand me, it would be cool if you have packages for every distro, or even bsd based stuff, but I think this is still a long way. c) will anyone use vdsm without ovirt? is this even possible? so imho you need ovirt repos anyway?
