That is what I was looking for. I never thought to look there.

I agree that would be nice but as I read the license, it cannot be redistributed. Obviously, Red Hat can do as they wish, since it is already on the ovirt site. I wonder if they will extend that to CentOS? OTOH, it is trivial to build the rpm, so I am not sure it is worth putting lot of effort into it. The hard part was finding the src.rpm and that was only hard because I was looking in the wrong place. Regards, -- Tom me at tdiehl.org Spamtrap address me123 at tdiehl.org
