This coupling of install and build steps complicates life for users and seems like a step backwards from OFED-1.2. >From the "OFED Aug 13 meeting summary", this change was made in part because the previous build method and manner of handling dependencies did not follow standard RPM usage. I don't think that uninstalling multiple RPM's and rebuilding them in order to add another RPM is standard RPM usage either. Can this be put on the "to-do" list for OFED-1.3.2? Is "install.pl" the only way to reliably build OFED-1.3?
