[openfabrics-ewg] Some observations on the OFED build process

[Jeff Squyres (jsquyres)]

Ditto what Roland says.

But, FWIW, I was having problems with the SRPMs that were generated when
I wasn't root.  Specifically, even though I have the following in my
%files list:

%defattr(-, root, root, -)

Generated SRPMS would have the userid/group "jsquryes"/"jsquyres" in
them.  For OFED, I reverted to su'ing before making SRPMs -- if someone
knows a better way, I would greatly prefer it (since su'ing just to make
RPMs seems silly).
