I'd expect that when you need a proper rpm then you have to go through all the pain and build everything from scratch to make it perfect. If you want to test something and debug, etc, you'd not build a full blown rpm anyway, would you? Well, either way, if you'd have 15 minutes for me I'd appreciate you show me how it's being done today…. thanks, michal >>> Could this possibly be avoided by an optional flag to the build >>> script? >> >> It's problematic, as ovirt-engine-setup is a sub rpm of ovirt-engine. >> I have no idea how can we just build the setup without the engine, which is >> compiled in a temporary directory (and removed straight after the build) >> >>> >>>>>> >>>>>> I've started to think about separating it into another git >>>>>> (similar to ovirt-iso-uploader), so we will be able to build >>>>>> this rpm separately. >>>>>> >>>>>> This change is really easy to implement (actually, I have >>>>>> already done it locally), and sounds to me like it's the right >>>>>> thing to do. >>>>>> >>>>>> Thought? >>>>>> Ofer. >>>>> >>>>> I agree that is the right thing to do.
