Indeed, according to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora_(operating_system)] Fedora 20 and older are marked as "old" which, I guess, implies that no one is supporting them anymore and I don't see a reason why latest OVS should claim to support old Fedora versions too. Will remove the claimed support for older Fedora versions as you suggested. > >> Building Open vSwitch for Fedora >> -------------------------------- >> @@ -21,6 +21,9 @@ the top-level: >> 4.

That's actually what I'd prefer, I just hadn't gotten around to documenting it and proposing it properly.

Another approach would be not to give exact Fedora versions and simply state that OVS supports Fedora versions that are still being actively maintained by Fedora Project. And then if these instructions don't work on one of those Fedoras then we would consider that as a bug. >> >> >>> Building Open vSwitch for Fedora >>> -------------------------------- >>> @@ -21,6 +21,9 @@ the top-level: >>> 4.

Mock seems to have plenty of plugins and I did not have a chance to go through all of them yet. I think there are two approaches here regarding to mock: 1. replace these rpmbuild commands with mock (if it is easy to set up mock); or 2. document Mock alongside these rpmbuild commands (in the same or another INSTALL document).

Mention: 1. that these instructions have been tested with Fedora 22. 2. dependencies that need to be installed on Fedora 22. Otherwise, rpmbuild command simply fails. 3. that rpmdev-setuptree utility can be used to create rpmbuild directory under $HOME, if one doesn't exist already. 4. directory where rpm packages that were just built can be found. 5. mention SElinux implications that could prevent OVS from starting, if not using designated OVS directories.
