Re: Dropping rpm build from ovirt-engine check-merged.sh

Hi, to me, it seems that with current CI flow, we can do following: - in build-artifacts.sh, build UI for English (only) & all supported browsers (IE10+, Firefox, Chrome), by using `ovirt_build_locales 0` as the default fallback

Note: this will cut down the # of permutations from 3x9 to just 3 (currently we have 3 supported browser types, 9 supported locales). - ensure that release builds still target all supported UI locales, by using `ovirt_build_locales 1` (override the default fallback)

- it would be nice if the Jenkins job for build-artifacts.sh would set some `RELEASE=1` flag (or similar) when doing a release build (is this possible with current standard CI?)

Eyal/others, does above make sense?

Also, as Nir mentioned, if `ovirt-engine` repo was configured with Submit Type == Fast Forward Only, we could drop RPM / GWT build in check-merged.sh (which was Eyal's original suggestion).
