That can be added, but needs to be added by upstream.
I assume you're referring to the changelog. The problem is that the spec is part of Fedora, not the upstream source. It's maintained in Fedora CVS; someone else might come along and fix a bug or bump the release and rebuild the package, and at that point you'd end up with a change that's not upstream.
Yes, www.openfabrics.org is the right URL.
OK, just checking.
As for the git snapshot, I created a make.dist script for the person that maintains this repo,
Well, as long as you're willing to deal with the pain of dealing with unversioned upstream source, there's no problem with it.
As for the static library, that's a common request of the people that make use of this code.
It just seems like a really poor idea for anyone to link statically against moving-target development code. Still, it's OK as long as nothing in Fedora actually links against those static libs.
