Hi,
We've also gone to torque 2.5.12 using an rpm Andrew Lahiff built for the
Tier 1.
I had to make a shim rpm to translate one of the provides to a require that
the emi-torque-client and emi-torque-utils wanted but apart from that it's
performed much better than 2.5.7
Steve Traylen was going to update the epel repo from 2.5.7 to a new version
with that bug fixed but has since given up maintaining torque in epel.
Yours,
Chris.
