[ovirt-users] [ANN] oVirt 4.1.5 General Availability Release is now available

[Lev Veyde]

Hi Michal,

Actually you can manually install the packages from earlier (sub-)versions
since these are still in the repo, however I don't really see the reason to
do so.
Once the new stable version is released it's recommended to install that
version.

Do you think it can be usable to actually maintain separate repos for each
sub-versions that we release? E.g. 4.1.1, 4.1.2, etc. etc. ?
If so, for which practical use ?

Thanks in advance,
