Of course there was a problem, please follow the link in this very
commit to the according bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1127763

In short: you can not use live snapshots without this updated spec file.

And it's a PITA to install this package by hand, you must track
it's versions yourself etc pp. you basically lose all the stuff
a proper spec file gives you.


PS: I also don't get the "we want to get vdsm in every distribution"
a) it was never in any distro, it was in epel, which is a third party
repository anyway, so you can just provide it via ovirt repo imho.
b) no one packages vdsm for debian, ubuntu, gentoo, arch, suse,
$nameyourdistro or I completely missed it, so why treat fedora
in a special way? Don't misunderstand me, it would be cool if you
have packages for every distro, or even bsd based stuff, but I think
this is still a long way.
c) will anyone use vdsm without ovirt? is this even possible?
so imho you need ovirt repos anyway?
