Why was SBD removed from the RHEL/CentOS 6 cluster-glue/corosync/pacemaker packages?

Hello list,

If you're building cluster-glue from source, it builds sbd. However, If you
install cluster-glue, corosync, and pacemaker from official repos, there is
no sbd binary. The deb for cluster-glue in Debian is version 1.0.6 rather
than 1.0.5 and it has the sbd binary, so has it been decided on the RH side
to drop sbd? Or did sbd not exist at the time of 1.0.5? The pacemaker rpm
contains /usr/share/pacemaker/templates/sbd which seems weird since it's
not possible to install sbd from the repos, is this just an error in the
packaging?

Thanks for any insight,
Mark

Red Hat has a policy of not shipping things it doesn't at least plan to support.
Since no final decision had been made, it was judged to be better to
exclude it when the cluster-glue package was first added than to rip
it out after people had started using it.

Note that sbd is being removed from cluster-glue and split into a
separate package upstream nowadays, so RHT's decision merely anticipates
this accidentally ;-)

Is there a package or source tarball of sbd already available for public
consumption? For simplicity's sake, I'd like to go with the Corosync and
Pacemaker packages from my disto, but since I need SBD I've been building
it all from source. If I can use disto packages for all but SBD, I'd like
to try that path.

Regards,
Mark

I probably should do that, I guess. But no, just
http://hg.linux-ha.org/sbd/ so far.
