I finally might have some free time to work on this. I can't seem to find earlier conversations about his but i believe the intention was to release something that had everything on board to install Opennebula. I've a few questions about this : - at first sight most ruby gems are available through EPEL. Are we going to use that or do we rebuild the gems and add them to a CentOS/opennebula repo ? It might make sense since Opennebula requires specific versions of some gems and prioritize repo's might complicate things. - Or is the idea to add them (rpms) to the install media? I think most people deploy a minimal install and work from there so it might not be the best option. -- Vincent Van der Kussen @vincentvdk
