We now have two PRs pending that will introduce the use of Git submodules (and there are probably more such PRs on the way). At last one of these first two PRs will likely be merged "Real Soon Now".
We've been talking about using Git submodules forever. Now we're just about ready. ************************************** *** DEVELOPERS: THIS AFFECTS YOU!! *** ************************************** You cannot just "clone and build" any more: ----- git clone g...@github.com:open-mpi/ompi.git cd ompi && ./autogen.pl && ./configure ... ----- You will *have* to initialize the Git submodule(s) -- either during or after the clone. *THEN* you can build Open MPI.
