IBM is signed up to test and provide feedback.
This enhancement request was evaluated by the full Red Hat Enterprise Linux team for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux minor release. As a result of this evaluation, Red Hat has tentatively approved inclusion of this feature in the next Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update minor release. While it is a goal to include this enhancement in the next minor release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the enhancement is not yet committed for inclusion in the next minor release pending the next phase of actual code integration and successful Red Hat and partner testing.
------- Comment From hannsj_uhl.com 2010-01-05 11:28 EDT------- Hello Red Hat, RHEL5.4 contains spu-tools on svn level 135 and therefore please use the most current version 136 of the spu-tools package as available/downloadable from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/libspe/spu-tools-2.3.0.136.tar.gz?modtime=1233760712&big_mirror=0 for integration into RHEL5.5. Please keep us informed in case of any questions. Thanks for your support.
That's what we already ship (digest from rpm changelog): * Wed Mar 4 2009 Petr Machata - 2.3.0.135-1 - Rebase libspe to 2.3.0.135 - Rebase spu-tools to 2.3.0.136 The package still has a version of 135, because that's what the libspe source tarball is called. But inside, we ship 136 of spu-tools.
------- Comment From hannsj_uhl.com 2010-01-14 05:44 EDT------- Hello Red Hat, fyi .. we verified that the spu-tools package as contained in the RHEL5.5 build from 12/27/09 ("spu-tools-2.3.0.135-3.el5.ppc.rpm 2009-Jul-27 07:09 29.1k") fulfills this RHEL5.5 feature request ... Thanks for all your support.
removing from 5.5 trackers since this is fulfilled for 5.5.
Got confirmation from IBM this is not needed for 5.6
