Are you going to completely remove the mthca and ipath code from SVN or just stop updating the code that is there? Will the other components that are upstream (SRP, iSER, IPoIB, CM, RDMA CM, SA, MAD, CORE, ...) be removed? What rules are you using to determine if the SVN version will be kept up to date? To date, the process for using and testing new OFA features has been very simple. Users simply downloaded the lastest stable kernel release and replaced the drivers/infiniband directory with the sources out of SVN. This worked for the development of new components (e.g. eHCA, ipath, RDMA cm, iSER, SRP, etc.). In the future, how will users work with new features that are not yet upstream? _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
