Hi Andreas,
neither do we, but we were using custom builds before already. Steve wrote to LCG-Rollout in August (I just looked it up), but he added that he orphaned it already a few months before. I'm not sure what the guidelines of EPEL say about that (if the package will be dropped or not).
As I said, building Torque has fortunately become really easy, and I reckon a yum repo for custom packages doesn't hurt (we also use it for MPI, infiniband, etc.). The problems with custom builds we faced in the last few years were few: the syntax change of the stagein/stageout directive, some segfaults in faulty releases and the addition of munge auth. Nearly all of that (except the first) was relatively easy to fix. We do not plan yet to upgrade to Torque 4, though, because of the protocol, db and log file changes. There also appear to be some stability problems left on that branch, although it is improving fast.
Greetings
André
