Folks, There is presently an open PR for OpenMPI, which updates the port to 4.1.1. In addition to many bug fixes, upstream also included a fix for Big Sur ARM builds. Hurray!
The PR also enables use of buildbot binaries for most cases, greatly improving the user experience. But wait, there’s more! Two new variants were added, to allow users to enable additional OpenMPI functionality. There’s even a fix to ensure zlib is declared as a formal dependency, to avoid opportunistic use. In short, it’s a very satisfying PR. And one that really wants to be merged, before it starts feeling unloved. Would anyone like to push the Merge button? It’s calling your name… https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/10852 <https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/10852> Thanks, -Chris
