New gerrit repo needed

Hi,

Can I get a new gerrit repo added for ovirt-node-iso?  An empty repo
should be fine initially.  

The purpose of this repo is to package the ovirt-node iso image in an
rpm for delivery.  Ideally, this could be done as a sub-package of
ovirt-node, but there is a chicken and egg problem.  You need the
ovirt-node rpm in order to generate the iso which you need to build the
ovirt-node-iso rpm.  We also need to keep the generation of the
ovirt-node rpm and the iso image in separate steps so we could create
multiple images from a single ovirt-node rpm.  This would allow
something like an update to a package that isn't ovirt-node to be
included.  For example, if vdsm had a critical update, we need to be
able to regenerate the ovirt-node iso image without have to rebuild the
ovirt-node rpm.

Thanks

Mike
