Supported by whom?

I just built 1.0.22 last night for rawhide and it built ok -- was there
an error prior to that message? I'd guess you're missing build dependencies.

You're asking me, personally?

I think you should pony up for RHEL, duh. If you're comfortable running
a production server on Fedora (not recommended) then at least I can
repro issues there as well.

SuSE, Oracle, and Canonical all also offer supported stable distros that
you may want to consider. Or Google "centos support".

This list is for upstream development of tgt, and IMHO it's not fair to
rely on it for distro-specific packaging issues, or anything that is not
reproducible in the latest released version.
