This seems reasonable and we should go that route. The proposed plan (as I understand it) would be: LAM removal: - Update mpi-defaults to use MPICH2 (in progress). binNMU all packages and remove LAM from the archive. Open MPI arch support: - Update openmpi to build on all arches. (Progressing, but slowly.) - Once we have full arch support, decide what to do with mpi-defaults. So these are basically two orthogonal changes, and the new mpi-defaults helps the LAM removal. I will upload a fixed mpi-defaults soon so that the LAM removal can take place ASAP. I'm sorry for the inconvenience that was caused by my quasi-MIA! Though times… Best regards, Manuel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
