Hi Jeff, We (Intel IEFS Team) do not use the SRPM, but we do use the RPM specfile and scripts to build our own RPMs. We would prefer if you can continue to maintain this going forward.

Related question: is anyone using the RPM specfile and/or scripts in contrib for building Open MPI RPMs? I ask for a specific reason: we just realized we broke the RPM stuff when updating the v5.0.x man pages/documentation. We can go fix the RPM stuff, ...but is it worth it? We made the specfile/SRPM a long time ago when Open MPI wasn't yet widely distributed by third parties. It seems like downstream packagers have now taken over this role, and have all their own packaging infrastructure. As such, I don't know if anyone is actively using / cares about the Open MPI specfile / SRPM. Should we port it forward into the v5.0.x series? Or should we delete it from v5.0.0 and leave it for <= v5.0.0? -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com
