So does this mean that the libraries distributed via OFED (openfabrics.org) > will be now from the rdma-plumbing git tree? I can't speak to the exact transition schedule each downstream will follow. OFED is a downstream distribution focused on backporting to old distros. I would expect that by the time OFED starts to backport 4.9 they will need to use rdma plumbing. At the cutoff point we will immediately tell all downstreams the latest official upstream source is in rdma-plumbing and they should stop monitoring the old repos. > Or is the switch to happen only when distros start shipping with the > 4.9 kernel by default? Now that we are going down this path with the 4.9 set as the time frame, I wouldn't worry about timing, there is no down-side to you for working within rdma-plumbing, and it guarantees that eventually your code will be widely distributed.
