I know there are a few things that don't work under oVirt on EL6 but
there are unofficial builds out there and they seem to work pretty well.
What is the major stopper from getting EL6 builds? Is it just a mater
of getting patches submitted for building the spec files? Is there a
need for EL 6 based slaves? Is there a concern about the features that
don't work like Live Migration?
I guess a good starting point is to build a todo list of what has to be
done.
Thanks
Robert

Based on personal attempts to rebuild ovirt for EL6 the biggest hurdle I
ran into is build dependencies.
Thanks to the help of Dreyou Im using the work around of a binary download
of Maven and packages from jpackage repo. Ive built latest vdsm without
much issue and am setting up my mock environment to rebuild the latest
ovirt-engine release.
Before Dreyou's repo I spent considerable time attempting to rebuild Fedora
SRPMs in EL6 to meet all dependencies but there were numerous circular
dependency issues building maven2 in EL6. This was before 3.1 and have not
attempted a full dependency build since.
Id be interested in knowing what other challenges exist for an EL6 release
and would like to help where I can.

I bet that is why I am having so much trouble. I installed Maven but am
not using jpackage repo for the rest of Java

I guess a good starting point is to build a todo list of what has to be
done.
just time.
i see both el6 and debian distro's as next on the list, but current
focus is on getting 3.1 out, then additional distros.
help on pushing other distros is welcome of course.
