Just curious: some of the BTL's have ORTE dependencies in them. How
are you going to move them to the OPAL layer?

Now that 1.3 will be released, we would like to go ahead with the
plan to move the btl’s out of the MPI layer. Greg Koenig who is
doing most of the work has started a wiki page with details on the
plans. Right now details are sketchy, as Greg is digging through
the code, and has only hand written notes on data structures that
need to be moved, include files that are not needed, etc. The page
is at:
https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/wiki/BTLExtraction
The first three steps basically only involve code motion, moving
items such as ompi_list, and renaming them, moving where the code is
actually located in the repository, and the like. For these we do
not plan to put out a formal RFC, but comments are very welcome, and
any hands that are willing to help with this are even more welcome.
The last phase where the btl’s are made dependent on OPAL, and
supporting libraries such as mpools I expect will be disruptive, and
will definitely require an RFC, and will also be a longer process.
Please send comments,
