I see - you didn't mean "ignore the framework", you meant "ignore all components in this framework". The two are not the same thing. Ignoring the framework would mean that we were somehow going to skip the base as well, which couldn't possibly work. We've talked about that before and never could figure out how to null-out all the framework level functions. > >> * What "non-MCA" projects are in our repository?

I don't object to it being there as it is a "no-op" for us - there was just no explanation given as to why this was being done. So it looked like a patch based on an old version of the trunk. > > -- > Jeff Squyres > jsquy...@cisco.com > For corporate legal information go to: > http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/ > > > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list > de...@open-mpi.org > http://www.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/devel
