      Since I did a *LITTLE* CFD in college I decided to
        take a look and as I expected OpenFOAM will likely not be easy
        to package...
        

        1. It's designed to install to $HOME or /opt (but I believe
          that can be modified).
        2. It uses a custom build system (wmake) and the
          documentation seems to indicate that it builds and installs
          all in one shot. Not a roadblock but that does conflict with
          the %build %install process we use in spec files.
        

        There's other smaller issues (for how little I looked into
          it, may be more big problems).
        

        As the packaging would be non-trivial, someone who uses the
          package would be the best maintainer for said package.
        

        Thanks,
        Richard

    I have been using OpenFOAM on Fedora and Redhat/Centos7 for many
      years using an RPM who's spec file was available somewhere. I had
      modified the SPEC file for the OpenFOAM 2.3.0 version. It hasn't
      been updated for some time. I suspect there is a later version RPM
      spec file somewhere, if not I could dig out the old SRPM I have if
      someone wants to generate an up-to date RPM for Fedora.
