Nova To Do
Some longer term TODO items which can be tracked in bugzilla after the package has been included:
- Get this patch merged upstream
- Add tmpfiles.d configuration
- Switch from sysvinit scripts to systemd units
- SELinux policy
- Make Nova add the appropriate iptables rules so that it works with Fedora's default firewall configuration
- Figure out what to do about ajaxterm - can we use the system version?
no-manual-page-for-binarywarnings - file bug upstream- Figure out a real fix for sphinx-build segfault
