Bug#841885: gerris: autopkgtests fail with openmpi2

[Graham Inggs]

The problem on Ubuntu's s390x autopkgtest runner was solved by putting back:

export OMPI_MCA_plm_rsh_agent=/bin/false

I have committed the change to git.

Thanks, I will do!

When I looked previously, I thought the git hadn't been updated since
2014-03-23:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/gerris.git

But now I see that is the debian-unstable branch, not the master branch.

Hi Graham,

feel free to commit directly to git.

@Stephane, thanks for the info. Could you please test and review current
packaged gerris in Debian before it will be freezed soon?

Best regards

Anton

Thanks! There's no hurry for the next upload.
In Ubuntu, I'm still seeing autopkgtests fail, but only on s390x, with
the following message:

The value of the MCA parameter "plm_rsh_agent" was set to a path
that could not be found:

  plm_rsh_agent: ssh : rsh

We might need to put back:

export OMPI_MCA_plm_rsh_agent=/bin/false

But I will investigate further and reply to this bug.

Hi Anton, Graham,

First of all, thanks a lot for your work packaging Gerris for Debian. 
Gerris can indeed be used without build-essential etc.. however its 
functionalities will be severly limited, so I think that these 
dependencies should be included by default.


cheers

Stephane

Hi Graham,

thanks for your fix. I have committed it and it will be fixed by the next
upload. Regarding your question of including those packages into
Depends section of gerris. As far as I know, it is possible to use
gerris without compiler and in a serial mode, so in this case those
packages are not really needed.

I may be wrong, CC-ing upstream author for a more qualified answer.

Thanks

Anton

Bug#841885: gerris: autopkgtests fail with openmpi2

[Graham Inggs]

Source: gerris
Version: 20131206+dfsg-9

Hi Maintainer

Since the transition to openmpi2, gerris' autopkgtests have been
failing with the following error:

orte_ess_init failed
--> Returned value A system-required executable either could not be
found or was not executable by this user (-126) instead of
ORTE_SUCCESS

I solved this by adding mpi-default-bin to debian/tests/control as follows:

--- a/debian/tests/control
+++ b/debian/tests/control
@@ -1,2 +1,2 @@
 Tests: testHydro testKinetic testPlate testQuadr
-Depends: gerris, libgfs-dev, build-essential, pkg-config, mpi-default-dev
+Depends: gerris, libgfs-dev, build-essential, pkg-config,
mpi-default-dev, mpi-default-bin

However, if the dependencies libgfs-dev, build-essential, pkg-config,
mpi-default-dev and mpi-default-bin are actually needed for normal
usage of gerris, then maybe they should rather be added to the gerris
package's Depends in debian/control.

Graham
