lxc-fedora template is broken with fedora 17

[Eslam]

lxc-fedora template is broken with feodra 17 as release url changes from RELEASE_URL="$MIRROR_URL/Packages/fedora-release-$release-1.noarch.rpm" to RELEASE_URL="$MIRROR_URL/Packages/f/fedora-release-$release-1.noarch.rpm"

I confirm that it fixes Fedora 17 download.

[Dan Kegel (dank)]

Yeah, this fixes download, but there are worse problems with fedora > 15:

@Dan,

Is what is in comment #2 enoug to fix the bug for you?

If not, do you mind preparing a full diff? I'll go ahead and apply it then.

[Serge Hallyn (serge-hallyn)]

Changing these links is not sufficient to make fedora release > 15 succeed, unfortunately.

A new lxc-fedora template, by Michael Warfield, which works on ubuntu has been pushed to upstream git.
