Hi Jeff,
The AWS EFA team also uses the RPM specfile to build openmpi RPM, and
distribute the RPM. We would also prefer that you continue to maintain it.
Sincerely,
Wei Zhang

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.
Regards,
Adam Goldman

Subject: [OMPI devel] Open MPI source RPM / specfile
Open question to the developer community: is anyone using the Open MPI SRPM
that we release?
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?
