hwloc 1.4

[Jiri Hladky]

Hi,

I do see that hwloc 1.4 in EPEL6 can cause a lot of trouble given the
fact that hwloc 1.1 is now available in RHEL6 (when I was creating
hwloc package it was not in RHEL6 and in fact I was the major advocate
to include it in RHEL6). I will revoke the request.

I'm not sure about EPEL5 - hwloc 1.1 is now very old compared with
hwloc 1.4 Should I revoke the request as well?

Thanks
Jirka
