Hi Brice,
thanks for releasing version 1.4. I have just created package for Fedora.
I have found one minor issue - file hwloc-assembler-remote does not have
executable bit set. I had to add following to the RPM SPEC file to fix it:
%{__chmod} 0755 %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/hwloc-assembler-remote
Could you please fix it in the next release?
Thanks a lot!
Jirka
