[ofw] RE: Removing MFT tools from svn

[Fab Tillier]

Ask yourself this: are you planning on removing the FW update utility from OFED and let it be provided by vendors only?  If not, why would you treat the Windows release differently?

FW update functionality should be part of WinOF.  Not everyone uses vendor releases. There are some stale directories, for sure - fwupdate is one - and those should be deleted.  The rest should be kept current.

Subject: [ofw] Removing MFT tools from svn

Hi,

I suggest that the following directories will be removed from svn repository :
fwupdate, flint, mread, mwrite, mst, spark (all located under trunk\tools).
These tools aren't part of WinOF release and should be supplied by the HCA vendor.
Moreover, the tools aren't updated (1.0.1.2676 version while 2.1.0.4337 at OFED - Linux. I got the versions from other svn)

What do you think about it?

Thanks, Reuven.
