With that in mind we can see that the ONLY possible move here is to check if Debian has the latest mstflint:

----
$apt-cache show mstflint
Package: mstflint
Version: 4.1.0+1.46.gb1cdaf7-1
Installed-Size: 2292
Maintainer: OFED and Debian Developement and Discussion <email address hidden>
Architecture: amd64
----

And that shows us that, yes, Debian SID has the latest version and we should sync our development version, Xenial, with Debian Sid.

That leaves us with the question (for sponsors / foundations to deal with):

- MSTFLINT is only used by Mellanox HW, right ?
- Should we backport this new HW support to Trusty/Vivid/Wily ?
- The code (or any regression) would be supported by Mellanox either way.

I'll ask for someone in foundations/sponsors team to double check.

Meanwhile I'll provide a merge request with Debian SID.

Thanks Talat,

Cheers
