My intentions were naive. I suggest to remove these tools because I wonder who uses these tools directly. There is different package (for Mellanox HCAs) that dedicated for fw tasks which is up to date. Why not use it ? I understand that OFED insist that the code will be part from the distribution. Is there need just to maintain and update the code here only for review ? Are there tools that no one use and can be removed (fwupdate, anything else ?) Reuven.

If not, why would you treat the Windows release differently? FW update functionality should be part of WinOF. Not everyone uses vendor releases. There are some stale directories, for sure - fwupdate is one - and those should be deleted. The rest should be kept current. -Fab From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Reuven Amitai Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2008 5:16 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ofw] Removing MFT tools from svn Hi, I suggest that the following directories will be removed from svn repository : fwupdate, flint, mread, mwrite, mst, spark (all located under trunk\tools). These tools aren't part of WinOF release and should be supplied by the HCA vendor. Moreover, the tools aren't updated (1.0.1.2676 version while 2.1.0.4337 at OFED - Linux. I got the versions from other svn) What do you think about it? Thanks, Reuven.
