OpenNebula package mantainer request

[Jaime Melis]

Hello,

great to see interest regarding this request!

Mathew: thanks for your offer, I will let you know once the rpm gets
submitted to EPEL, or even before if we stumble with tricky things so
you can give us a hand if you have time for it.

Steve: I didn't know you were trying to package OpenNebula, that's
great. As you said there are tricky dependencies, especially sqlite.
One possible solution is to entirely disable sqlite, since OpenNebula
2.0 now fully supports mysql, so maybe we could remove sqlite from the
rpm package and use mysql by default.

There is also another dependency that concerns me: xmlrpc-c. For the
moment we use the xmlrpc-c and xmlrpc-c-devel packages from the
centos.karan.org repo.

regards,
Jaime
