Debian OFED Infiniband packaging

This project is responisble for packing the OpenFabrics Infiniband Distribtuion (OFED) for Debian. You need the software if you want to do anything useful with Infiniband on Debian.

Packages

Starting from OFED 1.4.1, prebuilt binaries for popular architectures are available from our apt repository.

Add the following line to your sources.list:

deb http://pkg-ofed.alioth.debian.org/apt/ofed ./
deb-src http://pkg-ofed.alioth.debian.org/apt/ofed ./

Install OFED by running:

aptitude install ofed

If you need an older OFED version, you can use the following sources.list entries:

deb http://pkg-ofed.alioth.debian.org/apt/ofed-X.Y.Z ./
deb-src http://pkg-ofed.alioth.debian.org/apt/ofed-X.Y.Z ./

Documentation

Read the Infiniband-HOWTO on how to get started with the debian OFED packages.

Debian Mailing Lists

We have two mailing lists:

pkg-ofed-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org:
Debian specific questions relating to the OFED packages. (Note that if your question is an general infiniband question rather than one specifically about the debian packages, then the openfabrics mailing list is probably a better place to go.) Archives / Subscription page

pkg-ofed-commits@lists.alioth.debian.org:
Tracker for the SVN repository. Archives / Subscription page

ewg@lists.openfabrics.org:
