[ewg] OFA EWG Meeting: Monday, Feb 27, 2017, 09:00 AM US Pacific Time (12pm EST) - Minutes

[Woodruff, Robert J]

I think we need to pull from release tags and freeze at some rdma-core version for this OFED release. If we continue to keep pulling the tip, we could accidently
introduce new bugs during the RC cycle.

My 2 cents.

All,

I have a question regarding rdma-core inclusion into OFED 4.8. Currently the tagged release is rdma-core-12 but we seem to be pulling in the head of the master github tree as it moves. I recommend pulling release tags rather than the head of a master branch. Can we roll back to rdma-core-12? What do others think?

Thanks, Arlin
