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.
