just time.
i see both el6 and debian distro's as next on the list, but current 
focus is on getting 3.1 out, then additional distros.

help on pushing other distros is welcome of course.

Based on personal attempts to rebuild ovirt for EL6 the biggest hurdle 
I ran into is build dependencies.


Thanks to the help of Dreyou Im using the work around of a binary 
download of Maven and packages from jpackage repo.  Ive built latest 
vdsm without much issue and am setting up my mock environment to 
rebuild the latest ovirt-engine release.


I bet that is why I am having so much trouble.  I installed Maven but am 
not using jpackage repo for the rest of Java


Thanks
Robert


Before Dreyou's repo I spent considerable time attempting to rebuild 
Fedora SRPMs in EL6 to meet all dependencies but there were numerous 
circular dependency issues building maven2 in EL6.  This was before 
3.1 and have not attempted a full dependency build since.


Id be interested in knowing what other challenges exist for an EL6 
release and would like to help where I can.

I know there are a few things that don't work under oVirt on EL6 but 
there are unofficial builds out there and they seem to work pretty well.


What is the major stopper from getting EL6 builds?  Is it just a mater 
of getting patches submitted for building the spec files?  Is there a
