sblim-smis-hba requires headers and routines defined in hbaapi package: http://hbaapi.sourceforge.net/ Probably just libHBAAPI.so and hbaapi.h is needed. We do not have this stuff in RHEL (and Fedora) AFAIK. hbaapi package is under SNIA Public License (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/SNIA_Public_License), which is FSF Free and is not GPLv2/GPLv3 compatible.
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.
