It is pretty fluid at this point, if OFED says, hey we are happy with
this commit, I'm sure Doug can tag it. I suspect we will produce tar
files out of github, so a tag means a tar will appear.

The current git HEAD should be a suitable starting point for OFED, I
think. It is no worse than what OFED had from the individual tar
files, and contins various important driver updates.

As Doug touched on this, the distros have to decide based on their own
internal policies how this should look, so we will help but not
dictate. SuSE and CentOS already use quite different packaging and
even different rpm names from what I can see.

What does OFED do, and what do you want? Closeness to current distro
packaging? Closeness to future packaging? Something OFED specific?
