You might want to check the project's source code:
https://github.com/ovirt/ovirt-appliance/
Or study the logs of a CI build of it:
https://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/ovirt-appliance_master_build-artifacts-el7-...
I never tried building it myself locally, though.
I tried to build after checked out the source code from
https://github.com/ovirt/ovirt-appliance/,
but the build failed.

following:

No idea why this failed.

It has CentOS + oVirt engine.
The only major use for it is by hosted-engine --deploy. In theory you
can try importing it elsewhere, but I do not recall reports about
people that tried this and whether it works.
Best regards,
