If indeed Bug 1147148 - M2Crypto usage in vdsm leaks memory does not manifest itself with m2crypto-0.21.1 and is limited to el6, it's great news.

I've move the bug to RHEL6's m2crypto. I hope it can be solved there, properly.

Until this takes place, we can place Daniel's m2crypto build somewhere and suggest people to use it (preferably, we'd take a koji scratch build). We should not drop it into the default ovirt repo just yet, as no package is error free, so we should better check this new m2crypto first.
