IntelOPA - Intel Omni-Path Fabric Suite for Debian

System Fabric Works has released IntelOPA-IFS for Debian v10.3.1.0.22-1. This includes:

• IntelOPA-IFS.DEBIAN8-x86_64.10.3.1.0.22-1.tgz - HFI1 driver and IFS software distribution.
• Intel_OPA_IFS_Debian_README-10.3.1.0.22.pdf- Debian-specific README for IFS.

This release is for Debian 8.x.

Please note: IFS packages are now in the "quilt" format, which allows proper specification of the upstream package version. For example, if the upstream version of libpsm2 is 1.2-3, the Debianized IFS package version would be 1.2-3-1ifs. The ifs suffix has been added to indicate that the package came from the IFS distribution.

The change from native format has caused a discontinuity in the package revision numbers present in changelog. You may see a newer package that appears to have a "downgraded" version relative to an earlier-dated version (e.g. 1.2-3-1ifs v/s 1.2.3). This is a consequence of switching to the quilt package format and having a history of native packages. quilt is the format going forward. 10.3.1.0.22 is the only release that will have this discrepancy.

Please refer to the README for installation and configuration instructions.
