Speaking as maintainer of ovirt-console, it is a good chance to review
what's the status of ovirt-vmconsole, and how we can improve things for
the current state and for the future.

ovirt-vmconsole is pretty stable codewise and featurewise (and, I'd say,
bugwise), in the last 12+ months I hardly gathered material for another
minor release (would be 1.0.5), which
is not planned yet, as further proof that the codebase is stable.

Most of time, the only thing needed is to ship the existing packages for
a new distro release. It seldom may be needed a simple rebuild.

I must say I'm not aware of how the current issue was solved for fc26,
IIRC some manual intervation was applied along the lines above.
Can we automate this step somehow?

Bests,
