I'm trying to follow http://www.ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/vdsm/developers/ to build vdsm, and I'm failing (master, on F25). There is one issue in the middle:

[ykaul@ykaul vdsm]$ sudo dnf install `cat automation/check-patch.packages.fc*`

...

Package rpm-build-4.13.0.1-1.fc25.x86_64 is already installed, skipping.

Package rpmlint-1.9-9.fc25.noarch is already installed, skipping.

Package sudo-1.8.19p2-1.fc25.x86_64 is already installed, skipping.

Package yum-3.4.3-510.fc25.noarch is already installed, skipping.

Package yum-utils-1.1.31-511.fc25.noarch is already installed, skipping.

Error: Unable to find a match.

And then, ./autogen.sh --system succeeds, but 'make' fails:

Making all in api

which seems to be solved with manually installing sanlock-python.
