Hi Dirk, sorry for quoting all your mail, I do it for Josselin convenience. If you check the slurm-llnl ITP Bug report logs (351688) [Bug] you will see that Joss has offered himself for sponsorship.
Anyway I'm still waiting for some feedback and help about my last package version (especially about the /dev/random problem) and I don't know if Joss is still interested in working on this. In general any comment about my package are welcome. At the moment I have uploaded on my repository the version I'm using, but I can provide an update version of the package soon. I'm happily working with munge and slurm on my debian cluster and I would like to see it uploaded to the main distribution and to contribute to this. Thanks for your interest Gennaro [Bug] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=351688 On Tue, Mar 06, 2007 at 08:40:10PM -0600, Dirk Eddelbuettel wrote: > > Hi all, > > Last August, I started a short discussion here regarding batch management / > queue / scheduler / resource managment software for cluster computing.
