I would recommend using this package to install the repo file:

http://www.ovirt.org/releases/ovirt-release-fedora.noarch.rpm

It includes definitions for both the stable and nightly repositories - defaulting to stable. You can:

yum install ovirt-engine --enablerepo=ovirt-nightly

Or enable it in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt.repo file. Agree that the other repo files littering the directory structure should be cleaned up (I thought they already had been). Who has access to do that?
