Debian builds with libibverbs because it is available -- we'd be doing a disservice to those who have the hardware if we didn't. Because we build with it, Open MPI packages depend on it. So if you install Open MPI on Debian (and hence Ubuntu and ....), you get libibverbs. So yes, suppressing the warning would be great as a default. And generally speaking, we prefer to not diverge from upstream so if you made it a default, we wouldn;t have to differ in what we ship. That's how the thread started. Thanks to all for considering this. Dirk (who as Debian co-maintainer is rather happy with all your good work :) -- Three out of two people have difficulties with fractions.
