[ewg] Notes from EWG meeting 07/27/09

[Betsy Zeller]

Here's the notes from today's EWG meeting. (7/27/09)

1) There are (at least) two backport related build breakages. QLogic
will fix the VNIC build breakage this week. Oracle has not responded on
a plan to fix the RDS build breakages.

2) Bill Boas will follow up with Andy Grover at Oracle to find out about
future support/development plans for RDS, and will report back to the
group.

3) Jack from Mellanox will follow up with Vladimir to remove unsupported
distros from OFED 1.5.

4) Jon Mason has asked Vladimir to pull the fix for bug #1678. He'll
then test with the nightly build, and verify the fix. Once he's gotten
back to us on his results, and others have had a chance to test, we can
declare GA for OFED 1.4.2.

5) In her message last week, Tziporet reminded us all that the folks
from the distros would really like to see all user level libraries and
services do their own releases, rather than just making pull requests,
and using git tags to mark them. We'll follow up in the next meeting to
get the list of which user level software may need to add this style of
packaging.

6) We had a short discussion as to how we might improve the testing for
new, non-driver features, but no conclusion was reached. This will be on
the agenda for a future meeting. We'll also discuss in the next meeting
what's remaining before we can declare feature freeze.

Anyone on the call this morning - please add or update this list if you
think I missed anything.

- Betsy
