Yes - I removed it - even though the function that creates sccs-info and configure-info have statements that fill this with non-helpful information, apparently it wasn't making it to those cases. The fact that this has been a long complained about problem for folks building cloudstack (Wido raised this concern about a year ago) and the fact that in 4.1 we are finally defenstrating waf convinced me we could do without it at this point. Essentially if you have a copy of cloudstack that doesn't generate this and your rpm build wasn't broken you are within just a few revs of the tip of 4.0. (I didn't remove it from master, as we are going to generate RPMs and DEBs without sccs-info. --David
