+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] rteval: Disable use of python-dmidecode
+
+python-dmidecode is not being maintained upstream.
+For now just disable it's use in rteval since it is useful but not
+essential information for running rteval
+
+In the future look at generating this info directly using dmidecode.

+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] rteval: Makefile: More rpm cleanups
+
+Afer having removed the upstream specfile, there were still a few
+references to rpms in the Makefile. These are not necessary because any
+work with rpms can be done with modern rpm tools and are typically done
+by distributions
+
+Also test whether directory 'run' exists since it may have been removed
+by make realclean, and create it if it does not
