I've just updated the wiki page with the latest info.
Really all that's left to be done is python-{webob,sqlalchemy} updates
(though there may be other packages that pop up as testing progresses).
However, the exact course is not fully decided yet, as I'm testing lots of
combinations locally to see which is best to commit.

We also have to do the NBD to libguestfs change.

Note I'm currently using RHEL6.2 beta for testing, so if using an
earlier (derived) distro you might hit issues I have not.
I'm currently doing the following steps to setup a RHEL system
(note testing in a RHEL VM is not currently supported).

* service qpidd stop; chkconfig qpidd off
* setenforce 0
* enable the epel-testing repo
* yum install the RPMs from http://www.pixelbeat.org/openstack/rhel/
* yum install python-tempita
* yum install openstack-nova openstack-glance
* Follow setup instructions and test cases from:
  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-10-20_OpenStack_Test_Day

I will keep the wiki up to date as I fix stuff.

thanks!
Pádraig.
