ANNOUNCE - New release of rdma-core

ANNOUNCE - New release of rdma-core

[Doug Ledford]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 4037 bytes --]

The final upstream release of version 12 of the rdma-core package has
been tagged and pushed to github.

This marks the first official release of the rdma-core package, and
also the first release of libibverbs not to be hosted on kernel.org and
openfabrics.org.

For the libibverbs git repo, I have deleted all of its contents and
left behind a README file to point people to the new rdma-core repo on
github.  I would suggest maintainers of the other components pulled
into rdma-core do the same thing.  I did a similar thing in the
download area for verbs, modifying the README file to let people know
about the new package.

This also marks a new means of verifying the contents of releases.
 Unlike tarballs with uploaded sha1sums or the like, we are using the
git tag mechanism to uniquely identify the code that makes up a
release.  If you don't see a validated PGP signature on the tag, then
don't trust it.  The github interface makes it easy to tell if a given
release is verified as it throws a "Verified" badge up on the release
when it is PGP signed.  You can then download either a zip or tar.gz
file from the github release.  I don't know if the contents of that
tarball are subject to minor changes (such as file ordering, or access
timestamps), so a tarball sha1sum is not necessarily even possible when
using the git repo tag mechanism to denote releases.  However, the git
scm in general makes tags so reliable that this should not be a concern
to anyone.

The release is version 12, and the tag is:

tag rdma-core-12
Tagger: Doug Ledford <dledford-H+wXaHxf7aLQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org>

This is the final version 12 release of rdma-core

- Merge all upstream sources into the single rdma-core package
- Provide nice packaging for RPM and Debian based systems
- First release of combined package, targetting the 4.9 kernel as
  a matched release.  This package will work with other kernels,
  but fully supports all of the features in the 4.9 kernel.
- Move upstream to github
- Add libqedr provider
- Add libi40iw provider
- Add librxe (SoftRoCE) provider
- Add libhns provider
- Straighten out copyright files and make license consistent across
  source code portions
- Introduce flow steering improvements
- Replace code taken from linux kernel (and possibly under the GPL,
even
  though at least some of it seemed to possibly be not copyrightable
due
  to the Merger Doctrine) with undoubtedly license compatible CCAN code
  (list.h and a few other minor library type code bases)
- Drop use of autotools for building and libtool for library building
  and instead use CMake and ninja build tools

So where is it hosted?  I don't see any link to a tarball.

It's on github.  When viewing the repo, click on the "Releases" tab
above the code listing, there you will find the list of releases, and
under each one there is a link to either a zip or tgz download.  As has
been pointed out, the internal directory structure of the release
tarball is wonky on this one.  Still working that out...

I would be nice to include a link to it next time a release is cut.

Sure, I'll add that to my list of things to get working better with the
release process on github ;-)
