Personally I was thinking pretty restricted to scientific code:

openmpi
netcdf
hdf5
WRF

etc.

but I figured with various people contributing their interest we might develop a decent eco-system of performance dependent code. I was *not* thinking of another rebuild/clone of the OS.

The main driver is the need to compile Fortran code with the same compiler up the library stack, but performance benefits of some of the C compilers might be helpful as well.

Legal issues may arise, but generally it appears that you can distribute binaries even with certain runtime libraries as well. If anyone has experience with this though, that would be very helpful.

Sounds interesting. Were you going to build e.g. complete sl6-pgi,
sl6-intel, etc repo clones, or something more restricted?

Subject: Re: repo for packages built with Intel, Portland, etc. compilers

I think this is a great idea.  Are there any licensing/legal issues to be
considered before making these publicly available?

Let me know if you need assistance with this.

Best regards,

I'm starting to build a set of rpm packages built with the Intel and

Group compilers.  These would install in /opt and be accessible via
modules.
Would anyone be interested in collaborating on a public repository for
such
things?  I really haven't thought much through at this point, just trying
to
gauge interest.  Has anything like this already been done?
