Hi Mario,

(ccing Benoit, who has done alot of the work polishing these packages for SID)

Thanks for your offer of help.

Pushing things in stages sounds sane. I think the first milestone would be to 
get opensm + dependant libraries pushed, (which includes libibumad).


The only minor problem I know about is XRC;

The infinband drivers in the upstream kernel and libibverb package already in 
SID are missing XRC support. The only package that seems to use XRC at the 
moment is the qperf package (which is pretty minor), and so I think we can push 
the rest of the packages into SID and worry about any XRC problems later.


Cheers,

Guy
