The existing repository ovirt-3.5-pre has been updated for delivering this
release without the need of enabling any other repository.

it will provide additional repositories for it.

New oVirt Live, oVirt Guest Tools and oVirt Node ISO will be available soon as well[2].

Please note that mirrors may need a couple of days before being synchronized.
If you want to be sure to use latest rpms and don't want to wait for the mirrors,
you can edit /etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt-3.5.repo commenting the mirror line and
removing the comment on baseurl line.

Known issues in this RC:
- Bug 1124099 - Live Merge: Limit merge operations based on hosts' capabilities
- ovirt-optimizer has not been updated for EL6 due to dependencies issues
- vdsm for EL7 is missing a couple of patches compared to other distro due to building issues
