Well, we need to get people to use your package. The number of people who will
use Fedora for hardware design is limited. But the number of people who will
use CentOS/RHEL for hardware design is more.

With my experience with FEL, I can tell CentOS/RHEL have 100x more users using
EDA tools than in Fedora. And the userbase of Fedora are geeks while most
certainly you will find hardware engineers runing CentOS/RheL, because its the
OS they use at work.

This is a bit different for software world. 

This is also a reason why I'm migrating FEL to CentOS/RHEL, in order to bring
opensource EDA tools closer to engineers, in hope they might help us move the
wagon along in terms of technology transfer.

I am willing co-maintain this package with you. Do you mind if I request a
branch for EL-6 ?

I invite you to join our FEL mailing list. I'm mostly interested in ASIC
design, but some people like embedded design, a field I don't consider myself
expert. Perhaps you can help us improve this embedded design flow.
