I don't really have a strong opinion. But I would just stick to 1 tree. It should be easy to see what ofed adds on, just by doing a diff between the upstream branch and the ofed branch. And I don't think that checking out a full linux tree is a big deal -- maybe it takes a few extra seconds but I don't see any real disadvantage. _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
