Please! Otherwise we can never incorporate the material into any

One last question for you all.. Why is distcc so popular? We used it on
our 134 node cluster and it actually made compiling much slower than
just running it on one of the nodes. The network overhead killed the

This message about java-config just passed across gentoo-dev. Apparently
it can switch both on a system and a user level, so it may be worth
looking into for adapting to mpi-config.

There's already some stuff in the gentoo science overlay [1].

Bug me on IRC sometime and I'll look them over with you. I'm pretty busy
today though.

Yes, I actually used those ebuilds to test Lustre on our mini 3x3

A longer term solution is to do some combination of remodularizing vfs and
recasting the lustre stuff so as to depend less on getting its fingers into

We might benefit from splitting the clustering packages into two
separate groups for high-availability and high-performance computing.
This will help to keep the bugs a bit cleaner so each group of folks
will have a clearer idea of what they need to do.
Does anyone else have thoughts on this?
