I don't have a strong opinion but once the installer is included in the OVS tree all directory structure is fixed so there is no ambiguity on how or where the installer collects the files. It will also avoid having more than one copy of the same file.
It would be nice also if the installer and the MSI file generated by the installer could be built as part of OVS user mode. That said, the MSI file itself should be available to users w/o the need to build anything and would be related to an OVS release. We need get the driver signed and officially pass WHQL (We can discuss it later).

I'd like to merge it into the OVS tree, too, after looking at it. That way we don't start to splinter packaging off into other trees and make it more difficult for users to find a set of code that works well together. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__openvswitch.org_mailman_listinfo_dev&d=AwIGaQ&c=Sqcl0Ez6M0X8aeM67LKIiDJAXVeAw-YihVMNtXt-uEs&r=CWsgHUxi6ExLXY798tmo3LJ4e3geGYp56lkcH-5cLCY&m=aCQkLNl5h_C4Zsh3AoB2MbzKkws4kvcT99BiiUgzYHY&s=qhwi87O8u3mnEl1sFfbCr2Gtbw4uYPN3tArQdqXiov0&e= _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
