Build an RPM package for OpenMPI.

Estimated time: 4hrs

Requirements
● Include support for UCX and ibverbs in the Openmpi package provided by the RPM (you
will build this).
● UCX version: 1.14.0
● ibverbs version: doesn’t matter
● Openmpi version: 4.1.4
● Target operating system: Centos7.9

Producible
● A public-facing Github project configured to serve the Openmpi RPM repo.

repository to your operating system and install the package via the yum package
manager. The readme should also provide a short description or code block that
details the steps taken to produce the build.
