Hi Vlad,
This looks good, a few comments. As you are splitting out RPM spec
files for each package, I would like to see the RPM release numbers be
consistently updated whenever changes are made to a package.
Ideally, this would be coordinated with the release numbers from
the distros, so that we could tell whether a version of an OFED RPM
in a distro was the older, the same or more recent than an OFED RPM
from openfabrics.org. This would also allow us to update them with
rpm -Uvh. Extra credit would be given for adding dependency information to
the packages.
I also like the idea of clearly separating the build of the RPMs from
their installation.
I would like to see all target system modifications be made by RPM files,
or postinstall scripts, rather than from the install.pl script, which may
not always be run on a target.
Thanks,
Bob

* Requires RPM spec file for each package.
Currently, the following packages are lack of RPM spec file:
libehca,
mstflint,
qlvnictools,
perftest,
sdpnetstat

libibverbs:

- OFED-1.3 build procedure:
OFED-1.3 daily/rc builds will be created on OFA server:
userspace and kernel packages will be taken from git trees:
git.openfabrics.org/ofed_1_3/package.git ofed_1_3
Source RPMs will be created for each userspace package in the
following way:
git clone ...
autogen.sh
configure --disable-libcheck
make dist
rpmbuild -bs package.spec
The following packages will be taken from maintainers as src.rpm:
mvapich http://www.openfabrics.org/~pasha/ofed_1_3/mvapich,
<http://www.openfabrics.org/%7Epasha/ofed_1_3/mvapich,>
mvapich2 http://www.openfabrics.org/~rowland/ofed_1_3,
