Description

(Official) Openfabrics release notes states that nodes running kernel 2.6.32-279 and RedHat EL6.3 are only supported by OFED release 3.5-rc

{1,2,3,4,5,6}

.

Since lbuild suppress download of OFED release candidates a small code change inside the script will disable this feature and allow the compilation of Lustre against the OFED release canditate(s).

The changes will allow to test OFED-3.5, and will be removed as soon as a stable version of OFED-3.5(or later) is going to be available. The change WON'T be landed in any branch.
