rdma-core soon in Debian

[Benjamin Drung <benjamin.drung-EIkl63zCoXaH+58JC4qpiA@public.gmane.org>]

Hi everyone,

a few weeks passed since my last status update regarding rdma-core in
Debian. We made good progress in getting it ready. Only three items are
left:

1) I sent three patches for the ibacm and iwpmd service to the mailing
list. They need to be reviewed and accepted:

$ git log --oneline master..bdrung
c3654500 ibacm: Add systemd service file
562d5a00 iwpmd: Support Debian/Ubuntu in sysvinit service
9744e8d2 ibacm: Fix service start_daemon call on Debian

2) Common infrastructure for auto loading rdma modules: See the "Add
rdma service for kernel boot support" thread on this mailing list.
Jason Gunthorpe made a very good proposal were I made some comments on
it.

3) Get rid of openibd and rdma service dependencies:

$ git grep openibd
ibacm/CMakeLists.txt:set(rdmascript "openibd")
srp_daemon/CMakeLists.txt:set(RDMA_SERVICE "openibd" CACHE STRING
"init.d file service name to order srpd after")
$ git grep rdma.service -- ibacm/
ibacm/ibacm.service.in:Requires=rdma.service
ibacm/ibacm.service.in:After=rdma.service opensm.service

openibd is not part of rdma-core and rdma.service will go away with the
 changes in point 2.


I expect to see progress on these points in the coming days / next
week. When all changes are in master, will we create a new release?
Otherwise I will have to base my upload on v14 and cherry-pick all
relevant changes.
