The SPEC file needs some work.  In particular:

1)  ovirt-daemon is a little too generic, given the possible confusion with the
other daemons that are on the WUI itself.  I suggest something like
ovirt-managed-node; that will be pretty unambiguous.
2)  The SPEC file should actually be in charge of unpacking and building the .c
file into an executable.  So you'll have to create a tar file, do an unpack in
the %prep stage, do a make in the %build stage, and do a make install in the
%install stage.  There are lots of examples around for this; look at the libvirt
SPEC file as a starting point (and of course you can ping me on IRC to discuss).

In terms of additional information, I'm not sure we need anything else right at
this point.  Any new information is going to need changes to the model and the
database, and until we put thought into each piece that we need, I'm not sure
I'm comfortable adding new things.  Of course, if anybody else has ideas of new
things we need, please speak up :).
