It would be appreciated it if someone would step forward and would 
propose to maintain the srptools package. In the meantime, an update for 
srptools 0.4 can be found here: http://github.com/bvanassche/srptools. 
The user-visible changes compared to version 0.4 are:
- srp_daemon keeps working even if the LID changes of the port it is
   using to scan the fabric or if a P_Key change occurs. In other words,
   it is no longer necessary to restart srp_daemon after an IB cable has
   been plugged.
- Added P_Key support to srp_daemon and ibsrpdm.
- Fixed month in srp_daemon.log (OFED bug #2281). srp_daemon now uses
   syslog and logrotate for logging.
- srp_daemon is now only started in InfiniBand ports. It is no longer
   attempted to start srp_daemon on Ethernet ports.
- Fixed a memory leak in srp_daemon that was triggered once during
   every fabric rescan.
- Reduced memory consumption of the srp_daemon process.
- srp_daemon skips now MAD transaction ID 0 after 2**32 rescans.
- Installation: SRPHA_ENABLE=no / SRP_DAEMON_ENABLE=no is only added to
   /etc/infiniband/openibd.conf if these variables did not yet exist in
   that file.
- Changed range of the srp_daemon and ibsrpdm exit codes from 0..127
   into 0..1.
- Changed ibsrpdm such that it uses RMPP.
- Changed ibsrpdm such that it uses the new umad P_Key ABI. Running
   ibsrpdm does no longer cause a warning to be logged ("user_mad:
   process ibsrpdm did not enable P_Key index support / user_mad:
   Documentation/infiniband/user_mad.txt has info on the new ABI").
- Fixed spelling of several help texts and diagnostic messages.

As usual, feedback is welcome.

Bart.
