I think I am getting it - you want to release a patched version of some OFED library without going through openfabrics? OK. So I imagine that's when you would increment the rpm-specific version number. But I can't see why would an OFED release want to play with these. -- MST _______________________________________________ ewg mailing list ewg@lists.openfabrics.org http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ewg
