<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Folks,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> I just checked in changes to brand the binaries created when </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> building this code as OpenIB binaries rather than any </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> particular vendor. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>As I recall we agreed on COPMANY_NAME environment variable that by default will change to be "OpenIB".</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>(I also sent you patch that do that for wsd installer.)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>After we agreed that each company will need to maintain its own inf files, why not to let each company that would like supply binaries to give it own version,company name and product name.</FONT></P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> This affected any component that used to </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> include ics_ver.h, which has been renamed oib_ver.h and picks </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> up the SVN revision through the VER_OPENIB environment </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> variable (which must be set or build will fail).</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Why not to let companies to decide on their version calling mechanism and keep default to the OpenIB.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>I would prefer to see 4 numbers with environment variables, 3 numbers are the release number (i.e. 1.2.0 ) and the last one is the SVN number</FONT></P>
