CentOS virt - May 2014 - qemu-kvm rebuild in Centos for oVirt in SIG Virt

Hi guys,

As we discussed in the last CentOS SIG Virt meeting below the steps that 
we do to rebuild the qemu-kvm from http://vault.centos.org to enable the 
rhev-features like live snapshot for CentOS.

1. Download the last qemu-kvm from 
http://vault.centos.org/${version}/updates/Source/SPackages/

2. mock -D "${build_version}" -r epel-6-x86_64 --with=rhev-features 
--rebuild "${WORKSPACE}"/rpms/${qemu_kvm} 
--resultdir="${WORKSPACE}"/rpms --cleanup-after

As you can see we don't bump the release at moment, please let me know 
your thoughts. If there is any volunteer to take owner of this package 
in the SIG group please let me know, otherwise I can take it.

Here the jenkins URL:
http://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/qemu-kvm-rhev_create-rpms_el6/

Thanks!

Is the plan to get the qemu-kvm build provided by CentOS to include
the "rhev-features"?  I recently updated to oVirt 4.1 and while my
hypervisors were in maintenance I performed an update of all packages,
including qemu-kvm and noticed the latest version
(0.12.1.2-2.415.el6_5.8) in the CentOS repos still does not include
live  snapshot capability.

Any suggestion on how to version my internal rebuild of qemu-kvm to
prevent CentOS's RPM being installed?  My initial attempt is the
following:

mock -D "dist .el6_5" -D "buildid .local" -r epel-6-x86_64
--with=rhev-features \
--rebuild /home/treydock/qemu-kvm/qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.415.el6_5.8.src.rpm \
--resultdir=/home/treydock/qemu-kvm/rpms/local \
--cleanup-after

The resulting RPMs still contain the same version as CentOS's builds.
Do I need to extract the SRPM, modify the spec, then rebuild a SRPM
built using the modified spec?

Thanks
