** Description changed:

- Rationale for Upgrade:
+ Rationale for OpenMPI 1.5:
  OpenMPI 1.5 includes upstream support for ARM architectures; this is of 
importance for future ARM server deployments supporting HPC clusters.
  
  openmpi 1.5.4-2~exp2 is currently in Debian experimental and includes
  fixes for bugs identified during this evaluation process.
  
+ OpenMPI 1.5 is considered the beta/feature release by upstream; As the
+ packaging of OpenMPI 1.4 for Ubuntu and Debian includes patches to
+ enable ARM support AND its quite late in the release cycle to undertake
+ a transition for ~60 packages a new openmpi1.5 package has been created
+ and will be uploaded to universe.
+ 
+ This will allow users to preview the OpemMPI 1.5 release in Ubuntu
+ precise without risking the proven function of the OpenMPI 1.4 and its
+ dependencies in the Ubuntu archive.
+ 
  Upstream Changelog:
  See attached changelog.txt
  
- Build logs:
- Please see "Reverse Build Depends" which includes openmpi 1.5 plus all 
reverse build dependencies.  All build logs available in PPA.
+ Impact: New package which will Conflict with existing openmpi packages
+ (transition not being undertaken this cycle).
  
- Install logs:
- See attached piuparts-openmpi.log
- Currently fails to purge cleanly as alternates links are not removed.
+ Build log: TODO
  
  Testing: TODO

- These packages have been rebuilt against openmpi 1.5.4 here:
- 
- https://launchpad.net/~james-page/+archive/openmpi2/+packages
- https://launchpad.net/~james-page/+archive/openmpi/+packages
- 
- Four FTBFS; two are existing issues (as seen in the recent archive
- rebuild test) which need to be resolved but are not directly linked to
- this upgrade.
- 
- mpi4py needs to be investigated and resolved.
- free++ (amd64) times out during the build - again needs to be investigated 
and resolved.
  
  >>> Original Bug Report <<<
  
  1.4.3-2.1ubuntu1 is the current Ubuntu Precise version.
  
  1.5 adds support for ARM server, and is therefore interesting.
  
  As per:
  https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/servercloud-p-arm-openmpi

** Summary changed:
