CentOS virt - Sep 2015 - Official openvswitch package for CentOS7

Hi all,

 Exists an official openvswitch package for CentoS7?? If I am not wrong, this:

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/cloud/x86_64/openstack-kilo/openstack-neutron-openvswitch-2015.1.0-1.el7.noarch.rpm

it can be used with openstack only.

Do I need to recompile from source like is is explained here:
https://n40lab.wordpress.com/2015/06/28/centos-7-installing-openvswitch-2-3-2-lts/
or exists another rpm package for CentOS7??

Thanks.

Since you're sending this to centos-virt, I assume you want to use
openvswitch for virtualization?

If you think it would be particularly helpful to have an openvswitch
package in the Virt SIG, then we could consider adding it.

Correct, I will need to use for virtualization. In my case, only for
KVM. I don't use LXC or Docker.

And in my opinion, I think it could be a great idea.

Thanks.

FWIW, I've had a ticket in since last summer asking for an EPEL 7 build. :/
