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.
