[ovs-dev] header files in the connection-tracking branch

[Miguel Angel Ajo Pelayo]

I’m using this script to build on Centos7:

$ cat ovs-install.sh
#!/bin/sh
set -e
set -x
OVS_GIT=https://github.com/justinpettit/ovs.git
OVS_BRANCH=conntrack

# openvswitch specifics
sudo yum -y install openssl-devel libtool rpm-build gcc g++ kernel-headers \
                    kernel-devel python-twisted-core python-zope-interface \
                    PyQt4 desktop-file-utils groff graphviz

git clone $OVS_GIT ovs || echo already cloned
cd ovs
git checkout $OVS_BRANCH || echo can\'t checkout branch

# create dist files
