Hi, At the moment Mellanox is maintaining this code. Importing vendor code must be merged carefully using graphical tools like "meld". There is no simple C&P at the moment. Several of the utilities in OFED use automake or cmake to build. The Makefiles for FreeBSD must be created manually. This also include the associated config.h files. All the OFED utilities have been re-organized source-wise in upstream GITs since the last OFED user-space update. I'd like the Makefiles to stay in a similar tree as the source tree, so that figuring out which Makefile pull sources from which directory is more trivial instead of having to look into each and every one of them. Finally, Mellanox has sent out several mails to infiniband@freebsd.org and current@freebsd.org warning and telling we are going to merge. I've waited one week extra for input, but it has all been silent. That someone now should jump and say everything is wrong with the Makefiles and build infrastructure in OFED is simply not fair. It would be really helpful to me if you could be more responsive in the few weeks behind or at least say you're busy or on vacation. --HPS
