Hi,

Following [1] I'd like to propose to remove rpm building from the 'check-merged.sh' script from ovirt-engine (master for now).

The job [2] takes on avg 15 min while actually the rpms are built already in check-patch 
(with gwt draft mode if needed) and runs exactly the same build rpm command as check-patch [3].

So there isn't real value in running exactly the same rpm build post merge, and we already build full permutation mode in 'build-artifacts.sh'. 

Any reason to keep it?
We can cut down valuable time in CI if we drop it and vacant more time for more meaningful tests.


This depends on the flow: if we make check_merge gating to the merge and to the build we should keep the rpm build becuase at merge a rebase is done automatically.

What do you mean by 'gating to the merge'? I'm not sure I understand what it means.
Isn't check-patch.sh does the gating? check-merge runs post merge so its already too late to gate the code ... 
And I think check-merge and check-patch currently runs the same rpmbuild command, so I don't see how check-merged has any value over check-patch.
 
If there's not gating process performed by check-merge then I agree in dropping rpm build.
