This package is provided and installed from the base repo on el6. I really would discourage to blow the ovir repo up by yet-another-package.
imho this should get fixed/backported in el6 base repo.
I very much agree this is the best solution. But this might take a lot of time as we fist need to find the root cause (see below). I reasoned therefore adding m2crypto to oVirt EL6 repos should be a temporary measure. I think everybody running EL6 hosts is suffering from this bug. However, usually there are large amounts of RAM available in production hosts and VDSM might be restarted once in a while so this leak may as well be unnoticed - until the host is loaded and fails because of endless swapping. Further, it is totally unclear to me whatever this is a bug in VDSM or m2crypto. If this is more clear, I am happy to open a BZ against m2crypto EL6.
just my 2 cents of course, but if ovirt ships this package you also need to maintain it.
I would volunteer to provide the RPMs for oVirt for the time being; as I did already. I have to build them anyway and if this makes any sense (OTOH, changes in this package are very rare it seems).
