there is a CentOS Cloud SIG being discussed where we'd like to see this
resolved. feel free to chime in (maybe cc ovirt mailing list on relevant
threads)
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2014-January/009451.html
Awesome you´re discussing this with CentOS, that´s just what I what
hoping for! Though, at this point the discussing seemed rather fluffy,
nothing substantial.
How would you developers, speaking for the oVirt-community, propose to
solve this for CentOS _now_ ?
I would imagine that the easiest way is that you build and host this one
package(qemu-kvm-rhev), since you´ve basically already have the source
and recipe (since you´re already providing it for RHEV anyway). Then,
once that´s in place, it´s more a question of where to host the
packages, in what repository. Be it your own, or some other repo set up
for the SIG.
This is my view, how I as a user view this issue.
