Description Dave Love 2016-04-20 13:35:25 UTC

Spec URL: https://loveshack.fedorapeople.org/review/libiomp.spec
SRPM URL: https://loveshack.fedorapeople.org/review/libiomp-20160322-3.el6.src.rpm
Description: 
Intel OpenMP Runtime Library built for GCC.  It may be linked instead
of libgomp.

This may be faster (or slower) than libgomp in some circumstances, it
supports the OMPT profiling interface, has more flexible control of
affinity, supports OpenMP 4.5 features not in GCC5's runtime, and
might have other advantages or disadvantages.

This package also provides a compatibility libgomp.

I don't have good distinguishing benchmarks for this v. GOMP (despite people claiming it's a lot better), but packaging it maybe removes an excuse for using a proprietary compiler.

I forgot to add, built under

See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Downstream_.so_name_versioning

Have you contacted upstream about providing a soname?

Comment 3 Dave Love 2016-04-26 14:51:11 UTC

Oh, I hadn't realized it was a requirement -- too much in the instructions to memorize...

I'm sure they won't do it, as this is what Intel ship with their compiler, but I'll try via the "forum", which unfortunately seems to be the only contact.

This is an automatic check from review-stats script.

This review request ticket hasn't been updated for some time. We're sorry
it is taking so long. If you're still interested in packaging this software
into Fedora repositories, please respond to this comment clearing the
NEEDINFO flag.

You may want to update the specfile and the src.rpm to the latest version
available and to propose a review swap on Fedora devel mailing list to increase
chances to have your package reviewed. If this is your first package and you
need a sponsor, you may want to post some informal reviews. Read more at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group.

Without any reply, this request will shortly be considered abandoned
and will be closed.
Thank you for your patience.

I thought I'd cancelled this as the library is now shipped with clang, though it needs fixing to substitute for libgomp.
