we do not want to manually add platform-provided stuff in our repos. We should only put ovirt packages there, like ovirt-*, ioprocess and such. But everything else should be pulled in by external repos, even when it is us who maintain them. Otherwise we often run into conflicts e.g. when platform releases an update of a dependency and we do not release it at the same time in our repo.

> qemu-kvm-ev is 2.6.0-27.1 being 2.6.0-27 +2 patches (rebranding and dep fixing) so it's not the same release. Also qemu-kvm-ev is supposed to provide qemu-kvm-rhev.

yes, and when you have qemu-kvm-rhev with ovirt repos it will replace all -rhev packages with -ev because it thinks it’s newer. Not a big deal as indeed it is the same, but it confuses people…
