I defer to Doug L and Jeff S. If they like it, I have no objections.

Subject: [ofa-general] OFED install issues
Hi All,
There was a long discussion regarding the OFED installation
process.
There were several issues raised:
1. Prefix and the distro default:
My suggestion is that we will change the default of the install
according to the distro that is used.
1. For Redhat the default will be /usr
2. For SLES I don't know what should be the default - Moiz
can you send me a contact person that will educate us on SLES preferred
prefix.
3. Debian - Roland do you know what should be the default
In case someone wish to stay with another prefix (or change it
back to /usr/local/ofed) it can be easily done during installation:
* In an interactive installation there is a specific
question: "Please enter the OFED installation directory
[/usr/local/ofed]: "
* In a non-attended installation only need to change this
line in the conf file: STACK_PREFIX=/usr/local/ofed
Please reply if this is OK and we will do this change this week.
In this way we will have enough time to test it before RC1. (Note that
in Mellanox we always test both /usr/local/ofed and /usr/local prefixes)
2. SPEC files -
Change this now is too risky for 1.2 - I suggest we do it
immediately after OFED 1.2 so we have enough time to stabilize this
change.
In any case we may want to have a teleconference to define what
we want.
Also if anyone want to "raise the glove" - change and test the
build & install scripts and send patches it will be great
