So what are we looping across at the end of autogen? Yes, we did. ORNL specifically asked me/Nathan off-list if they could add this loop in, because they have some off-trunk repos (e.g., STCI) that both still use the config/ directory stuff and have non-MCA projects. I didn't see any harm in these things; e.g., the loop only adds -I if the directory exists. I.e., I saw it as being an attempt to be friendly to those who are trying to use our lower laters (ORTE and/or OPAL) with non-OMPI projects. I thought this fit in well with the move-the-BTLs-down-to-OPAL philosophy. That being said, if others disagree -- e.g., Ralph has a valid point: this is to help projects that are outside of our trunk -- let's discuss. This will probably be a useful topic to discuss today on the teleconf. -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
