[openfabrics-ewg] On vacation on Sep-13 till 12-Oct

[Betsy Zeller]

Aviram - we've spent a fair bit of time today trying to build the OFED
package with Bryan's changes to libipathverbs. However, there appears to
be a problem now that libipathverbs depends on libibverbs. Bryan has
filed a bug (234), currently assigned to Vlad. If you can get that
turned around by Monday, we'll build and test on Monday and Tuesday,
which would allow for RC6 on Wednesday. Note that Bryan's libipathverbs
changes are all in SVN, so they are already available if you want to try
an early build.

Thanks, Betsy
