I also think that it is a good idea to affix a SVN rev or some other rev. number to a particular driver. Not sure of the best way to do this. In the past I have used schemes where the rev number is generated with a build number and date and put into a string in a version.h file that is built into the module. Not sure what is the best thing for this project. woody _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
