Hello,

I found that there is actually a prebuilt 4.8 context RPM in one of their source trees (not GitHub).

As per the repo change, this new version actually makes more sense and follows proper repo format. http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/ being an example repository that follows standard format.

The "stable" path part didn't make any sense considering how versions work in OpenNebula.

Past OpenNebula 4.x releases have been packaged as RPM's for CentOS available in a yum repository with a baseurl of 'http://downloads.opennebula.org/repo/CentOS/6/stable/$basearch'

For some inscrutable reason, 4.8 RPMs are not there. Instead, the 4.8 docs on the website now direct us to a repo at the baseurl 'http://downloads.opennebula.org/repo/4.8/CentOS/6/x86_64/'

Is there a rational explanation for this? One of the main points of using a package management system like yum/RPM is to simplify updates, but this change obfuscates the visibility of the update and seems to indicate a plan to hide future releases as well.

Also, the new repo lacks an RPM for opennebula-context and the release notes point to a github repo which includes a script to build packages from the source. Does this mean there will no longer be a prebuilt RPM of opennebula-context?
