Bug#516096: ping?

2009-10-21 Thread Guy Coates



Now that I have direct access to Infiniband hardware and we actually
run the pkg-ofed stack at work, I am more than open to help you get it
uploaded to sid.  Just let me know how we should proceed.
I guess we dont want to upload everything at once, maybe in stages?



Hi Mario,

(ccing Benoit, who has done alot of the work polishing these packages for SID)

Thanks for your offer of help.

Pushing things in stages sounds sane. I think the first milestone would be to 
get opensm + dependant libraries pushed, (which includes libibumad).



The only minor problem I know about is XRC;

The infinband drivers in the upstream kernel and libibverb package already in 
SID are missing XRC support. The only package that seems to use XRC at the 
moment is the qperf package (which is pretty minor), and so I think we can push 
the rest of the packages into SID and worry about any XRC problems later.



Cheers,

Guy

Hi.

Any progress on this ITP?  I just stumbled across libibumad as

Hi,

The packaging is all done, but I cannot find a sponsor to upload the packages. 
I've asked on mentors etc, but no avail. Any help you can offer in that 
direction would be appreciated.


If you want to look at the packages, you can find source docs etc here.

http://pkg-ofed.alioth.debian.org/

There is also the beginnings of an  IB-HOWTO on the site too. It contains a 
section on openMPI, but not on MPICH; if you have docs you'd like to contribute, 
that would also be welcome.

Hi,

I have a complete set of OFED packages. However, I am struggling to find
a sponsor to upload the packages into debian.

The packages+source are current hosted on alioth. You can find packages
+ docs on how to get started here:

http://pkg-ofed.alioth.debian.org/

Please let me know how you get on. Any additions, bug reports / fixes
etc gratefully received.

Cheers,

Guy

A team-maint approach would be great; there are alot of packages. There
is already an alioth site:

http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-ofed/

and the svn repository is here:

svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-ofed/


I am currently not a DD, so help in reviewing  and sponsoring packages
would be greatly appreciated.

I've dug around the openfabrics website, and have unearthed better descriptions
for the libraries.

I suspect the answer will be "it depends"; some people will want the latest
available versions, and some will want the "stable" version to build 3rd party
apps against.

That would be a good start; it will at least stop anyone else from attempting a
3rd packaging attempt! FYI, I have (mostly lintian clean) packages for the rest
of OFED 1.4 , I just haven't ITPd them.
