Description of problem: ovirt-node currently doesn't build on PPC/ARM because some requirements are not available on these platforms.
What requirements are not available. Can I help?
I'm looking for PPC support!
Hey Ramon, the reason is that some dependencies are not available on ARM (dunno about PPC). E.g. libvirt cim or so it was. Additionally - at least on arm - the installation will probably fail as it is tied to grub2?.

As for PPC, it's not a primary architecture on Fedora (AFAIK). The main problem here is that we depend on qemu-kvm which is not available on ppc.

We're considering a different node implementation for oVirt 4.0. Hence, closing this RFE. Please re-open if relevant.
