[Engine-devel] ovirt-engine deployment method

As decided earlier, oVirt next release (3.1) is targeted for Fedora 17. Since the engine uses JBoss, we have two deployment options: 1. Continue working with ovirt-engine-jbossas package PROS: Single rpm. known upgrade method. CONS: Maintaining un-natural zip based rpm. No official support. Can't be pushed into Fedora. 2. Move to JBoss F17 official packages: PROS: Fully supported F17 rpms (including bug fixes, security fixes, etc). "The right thing to do". CONS: Upgrade from first release (relaying on old jboss) will be almost impossible, Some open issues (will it work just as as normal service? or will we need to code a new one?), Might cause a delay to Feature Freeze.
