OpenStack in EPEL

All of the packages require python-sphinx. These all need at least this adjustment for EL6:

-BuildRequires:    python-sphinx
+%{?fedora:BuildRequires:    python-sphinx >= 1.0}
+%{?el6:BuildRequires:    python-sphinx10}

Packages in EPEL

• openstack-swift

Packages needing to be added to EPEL

• openstack-glance (docs fail to build, otherwise it builds fine http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3309617)
• openstack-nova
  • needs python-distutils-extra >= 2.18 not yet in epel. rawhide version thereof builds fine in koji for el6.
• python-novaclient (docs fail to build, otherwise it builds fine http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3309646)
