Description Orion Poplawski 2006-09-13 18:38:42 UTC 
Couple issues:

- The .module file is out of date, and the install layout is not very conducive
for parallel installs of openmpi versions compiled with different compilers
(quite common in HPC installs).

The opal_wrapper compiler wrapper requires it to be executed with names like
"mpicc" and "mpif77".  While the alternatives system handles this for a system
wide default, it would be advantageous for the module file to be available for
users to select which openmpi install to select from.  I propose making links
for the wrapper scripts in /usr/share/openmpi/bin for this purpose.

This then allows me to easily build openmpi-<compiler> rpms that install along
side the default openmpi package in /usr/share/openmpi-<compiler>/bin.

- The auto tools are no longer required for build

- 1.1.1 is out

The attached patch makes the above changes.

Updated patch

Have patch in -u format, move wrapper links to -devel package

I implemented a few of the things you suggested, but not all.  Amongst other
things, it's too late to update to 1.1.1.  That will have to wait until after
fc6.  The new version should show up in rawhide soon.

Okay, here's a new patch that does a lot.  Take or leave what you will, but
here's what it does (and why):

- Updates to 1.1.2

- Changes %{name} to openmpi in locations that don't change if you were to build
an alternately named openmpi package (called, say, openmpi-ifort).

- Reworks your /usr/share/openmpi/bin{32,64} structure to
/usr/share/openmpi-{32,64}/{bin,lib,lib64} structure.  The advantage being that
it allows you to have multiple openmpi installs in parallel and use the
--prefix=/usr/share/openmpi-{32,64} argument to orterun to pick between them.
It also puts more links in /usr/share/openmpi*/bin to support this.
