RHEL-7 should use Fedora instructions. After this patch we plan to clean and rename the spec files to be more obvious. Then the problem becomes which names to use because Fedora moves faster than RHEL-7, so even if we manage to have a single spec file and documentation now, it doesn't mean that it will be the case in 5 years or more. I suspect the spec file should be openvswitch.spec and try our best to remain the only one and the documentation for Fedora should point to RHEL-7 documentation as a start. Then we improve the docs when they need. How does that sound to you? -- Flavio _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
