Folks, if you want to create a JIRA ticket, you can ask for an account.  We're 
very happy to get contributions.

Regards,
Patrick

Subject: Re: [lustre-discuss] DKMS build broken with NVIDIA doca packages

Hi Mark,

Thanks for confirming I'm not on my own - I've not got any further, other than 
starting to look at creating a dummy RPM package that fits the criteria Lustre 
is looking for! That or using a very clunky wrapper script around rpm itself to 
lie to the configure script. I actually have got this second approach working 
so there is nothing wrong with building against the doca packages, but its a 
bit annoying to automate the build process for our servers like this.

I've not got access to create a Jira ticket myself either.

Cheers
Jon

Hi Jon,

As it happens, I've been looking at the same thing. I hadn't spotted
LU-18002 (thanks), but unfortunately it isn't enough to accommodate the
move to dkms on rhel.

I don't know how far you've got since Monday, but there now seems a need
for an explicit check of /usr/src/ofa_kernel (as it's no longer owned by a
package) and the "find" for rdma_cm.h needs the -L flag to make sense of
the new maze of twisty passages.

I think that a new jira ticket needs to be opened...

Cheers,

Mark
