[Sandro Bonazzola]

Jobs are failing on repository issue like http://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/vdsm_master_create-rpms-fc20-x86_64_merged/689/ :

I guess baseurl has been chosen for proxy sake but this will fail jobs in case the selected mirror is out of sync.

I suggest to install yum-plugin-fastestmirror
and set
prefer=download.fedoraproject.org
in /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf

and provide the mirror list instead of the baseurl allowing to fallback on next mirror if preferred mirror has issues.
