Hi,

back in January 2015[1] we started looking into packaging ovirt-engine following Fedora packaging guidelines[2].

We pushed several patches still in draft / wip [3][4][5] and opened a tracker bug [6].

We also started packaging missing dependencies in Fedora [7][8][9] and for CentOS Virt SIG[10]

Please ensure that any new dependency added in pom files at build / test / runtime is available in Fedora / EPEL / oVirt / CentOS Virt SIG repo ( I can build for CentOS Virt SIG if a package is missing, just provide the src.rpm from Fedora / EPEL).

Please help adding correct dependencies in the spec file for maven dependencies.

This is a best effort feature we're trying to do at integration level for 4.0, not yet targeted to it, but will help if we start working together avoiding to add new un-packaged dependencies.
