It's not a major urgency, I just figured it wouldn't be a difficult
thing to do.  I'm just working on getting the various packages from the
management tree through the Fedora review process.  For that, they want
the package built from a release tarball, not from a git repo.  You've
got releases up there for the three libs, but opensm and
infiniband-diags aren't there.  Having something allows me to keep that
process going.  But, it's not a big deal either, it can wait.
