There are still some backports that have not been completed for RHEL 7.2 for example. So if you want to experiment with either 3.18-2 or 4.8, your best bet is to setup a test system with one of the Distros that we currently support. Our goal for 4.8 is to get everything working for the supported Distros. After that work is complete we would begin adding support for RHEL 6.8 or RHEL 7.3 for example assuming we agree that 6.8 is worth the effort. So even if we decide to add support, my guess is that it will not be until sometime in Q1 2017.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>I have added a short little document that may help you with the OFED 4.8 daily build if you want to experiment with 7.2.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Thanks and have fun,</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Rupert</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Amiya Maji [</span><a href="mailto:amaji@purdue.edu"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>mailto:amaji@purdue.edu</span></a><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>] <br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, December 02, 2016 5:35 PM<br><b>To:</b> Rupert Dance; </span><a href="mailto:users@lists.openfabrics.org"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>users@lists.openfabrics.org</span></a><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Users] Building OFA OFED-3.18-2 on Redhat 6.8</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><div id=divtagdefaultwrapper><p><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Rupert/Aleksandr,</span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Thank you very much for the response!</span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>I did notice the release notes earlier and was hoping that someone had a patch to make things work.
