Description Dave Love 2014-07-01 13:15:03 UTC
0.2.9 won't build on EPEL because of the binutils version required for the haswell
kernels.
These patches treat that like support for AVX.  I haven't tried EPEL5, but there's an EPEL6 build at https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=7092265

The issue I opened about this upstream was closed without even a documentation
hint.  I'll re-open it and point to this change.

I see you're packager-to-be. Are you interested in comaintainership of OpenBLAS?

Sorry, I missed this.  I might be, but I don't have sponsorship yet.
I'd definitely be interested in sorting out the BLAS situation so that
you can drop in alternatives, as for Debian.

[In case of any discussion, I'm about to go on holiday for 10 days.]

There's a fix for this in version 0.2.10, though I'm just using a version
built with devtools.  I could concoct a clean patch when I return, but actually
I think there's some other reason it won't port to EPEL6 that I'd have
to check on.

The version I've installed is in the copr repo
http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/loveshack/livhpc/
in case anyone reading this is interested, but it requires a port of a lapack
update, at least.

Well, Debian does this *the* *wrong* *way*. You *have* to have consistency between BLAS and LAPACK, and especially for the development libraries.
