Hello,
  In branches\opensm_3\ you will find OpenSM 3.3.3 suitable to be dropped into 
a build tree as trunk\ulp\opensm_3 and built for all architectures/OS-flavors.
One needs to be careful as the .exe files [opensm.exe, osmtest.exe & 
ibtrapgen.exe] are currently the same names as produced by building in 
trunk\ulp\opensm.

Given previous discussions on how to move forward with a new version of opensm 
and yet retain the past version in case of emergency.
Where emergency is defined as at some installation the new version of opensm 
does not render the fabric usable where the old version did; unlikely but 
possible. Without an escape hatch a customer is without recourse.

I'd like to propose the following svn src file structure changes until the 
WinOF 2.3 time frame.

 trunk\ulp\opensm\user --> trunk\ulp\opensm\userO
 branches\opensm_3\user --> trunk\ulp\opensm\user

Now we have
    trunk\ulp\opensm\userO              current opensm version @ 3.0.0 base.
    trunk\ulp\opensm\user               New opensm version # 3.3.3

Additionally the SOURCES files in the trunk\ulp\opensm\userO\* would be 
modified to append the letter 'O' to the .exe filename to distinguish them from 
new version; examples:
  opensmO.exe
  osmtestO.exe
  ibtrapgenO.exe

This could be abbreviated to just building opensmo.exe.

With the new 3.3.3 version of openSM the diffs between the latest OFED (3.3.3) 
and the Windows version are not so overwhelming and can be managed in place; 
point being the trunk\ulp\opensm\userO is a life-saver until full confidence is 
gained in the new opensm implementation.

Your thoughts?

Thank you,

Stan.
