[ofa-general] Debian/Ubuntu status

[Robert LeBlanc]

In doing some research, I've noticed that the wiki states for 1.3 that
Ubuntu is under the Supported OSes for basic testing. What does that mean?
I've looked through the documentation and everything still looks very RPM
based. I've noticed a couple of messages in the archive directed to Vlad
about the status of certain Debain/Ubuntu issues, but really didn't see any
responses. We hacked our own scripts to compile 1.1, which have been working
well for us (MPI, IPoIB and Lustre), but we are unsure if we are missing
anything since we are new at this. It would be real nice to be able to build
.debs straight from the OFED source. We would be willing to help were we
can. A nice overview of the build process for RPMs would help us translate
it (not extremely familiar with RPM distros).

Thanks,
Robert
