New description:
Sage has an Open MPI optional package, which uses version 1.1.4 of Open
MPI. This was released on Jan 30, 2007, so is more than 3 years old. It
fails to build on Solaris - see #8522.
The optional package is very different to most other Sage packages, which
shows its age.
* No SPKG.txt
* No Mercurial repository
* Sources sit in top-level directory, not in a 'src' subdirectory.
I'll create a package based on the latest version of Open MPI, which is
version 1.4.1, which was released 15th January 2010.
'''Update:''' A new spkg can be found under http://computational-
sage.googlecode.com/files/openmpi-1.4.3.spkg

Replying to [comment:10 vbraun]:
> Nice! Functionality-wise it is all good. But would you mind filling in
the `SPKG.txt` according to the template in the developer manual? See

`.*~` to the `.hgignore` so that mercurial doesn't complain about emacs
backup files.

OK something went wrong with the SPKG.txt when packing, perhaps I deleted
it accidentally or something else went wrong. In addition I can't upload
the new version on the spkg-upload site...
You can download the corrected version now under: http://computational-
sage.googlecode.com/files/openmpi-1.4.3.spkg
I hope everything is now correct, and thanks for the hint with the
.hgignore!
Cheers,
Stefan
