We could move the relevant stuff out of redhat/ and into, say, kernel-boot/ or something.

Debian and RH6 are the only places I know of that use init.d scripts, so I think most changes Debian needs would be fine. > W: ibverbs-providers: package-name-doesnt-match-sonames libmlx5-1 > > I think we should just ignore this warning since using libmlx5-1 is > just one part of ibverbs-providers that shouldn't be use alone, should > it? Probably..

It would also be nice to have a systemd > service shipped by upstream (and not just in the redhat directory) The srp daemon needs proper native systemd support, not via a shell script wrapper. More like rdma-ndd. This is probably a bigger project.. I didn't think debian had a .service file for it at all?
