[ovirt-devel] Dropping rpm build from ovirt-engine check-merged.sh

[Eyal Edri]

Hi,

Following [1] I'd like to propose to remove rpm building from the
'check-merged.sh' script from ovirt-engine (master for now).

The job [2] takes on avg 15 min while actually the rpms are built already
in check-patch
(with gwt draft mode if needed) and runs exactly the same build rpm command
as check-patch [3].

So there isn't real value in running exactly the same rpm build post merge,
and we already build full permutation mode in 'build-artifacts.sh'.

Any reason to keep it?
We can cut down valuable time in CI if we drop it and vacant more time for
more meaningful tests.
