Comment 4 Dave Love 2014-10-30 13:55:56 UTC
Why is it necessary to use scalapack2 and change the library versions?

I haven't had time to try yet, but I hope it will be possible to
build compatibility packages (at least for openmpi, which we use) to keep
binaries running through the mess of these incompatible MPI updates.  Changing
other ABIs will make that harder.

Does v2 actually need the incompatible library version bump?  I haven't had time
to check as I'd intended for local packaging purposes, but the release notes
suggest not, as expected.

Comment 5 Orion Poplawski 2014-10-31 21:44:24 UTC
Hmm, yeah I suppose the soname bump was unneeded.  One problem with adding sonames downstream.  I suppose it's possible that if we had kept the soname the same, it might have smoothed the transition for software that only linked to scalapack.  But I suspect the most scalapack using software makes use of other mpi calls directly, and with mpi changes underneath I think it renders this point moot.  And if the api didn't change, updating to 2.0.2 should not be an issue otherwise.

Comment 6 Fedora Update System 2014-11-10 18:29:43 UTC
scalapack-2.0.2-5.el6.1 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 6 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
