Hi All,<br>
<br>
Due to feedback we got regarding Redhat inclusion of OFED 1.3 in RHEL
5.2 and 4.7 we are changing the release schedule<br>
(See the thread on OFED Jan 28 meeting summary on RC3 readiness)<br>
<br>
This is the new schedule:<br>
<ul>
<li>RC3 - done (30-Jan)</li>
<li>RC4 - Feb 6<br>
</li>
<li>RC5 - Feb 18 <== Gold</li>
<li>GA - Feb 25</li>
</ul>
RC4 should include:<br>
<ol>
<li>Critical and major bug fixes</li>
<li>IPoIB: Non-SRQ for CM mode<br>
</li>
<li>IPOIB: 4K MTU - assuming this will converge in few days<br>
</li>
</ol>
To make sure we can do it without more slips the following procedure
should be used:<br>
1. Every patch that is sent to OFED will include not only the kernel
code against 2.6.24 but also the backport patches<br>
2. Send me the patch for approval including explanation what is the
reason for this patch<br>
3. Do not mix code cleanup in a patch that fix some critical bug<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Tziporet <br>
