Hey guys, are you going to attend to this? There's lots of bug fixes that have been done, for instance 1.5.1 details - Fixed various issues with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2. which should be pretty important to us. Also improved MPI 2.2 datatype support should be good. You also need to ship a script used to prepare the sources from the vanilla tarball, see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:SourceURL#When_Upstream_uses_Prohibited_Code
Yeah, without a recipe for the source, nobody else can really make an update. I've tried to diff 1.5 and 1.5-RH to see what was done but I can't really see anything that may have been removed for licensing reasons: $ diff -rq openmpi-1.5 openmpi-1.5-RH | grep -vF Makefile.in Only in openmpi-1.5: aclocal.m4 Only in openmpi-1.5/config: compile Only in openmpi-1.5/config: config.guess Only in openmpi-1.5/config: config.sub Only in openmpi-1.5/config: depcomp Only in openmpi-1.5/config: distscript.csh Only in openmpi-1.5/config: install-sh Only in openmpi-1.5/config: ltmain_otool.diff Only in openmpi-1.5/config: ltmain.sh Only in openmpi-1.5/config: lt-sun-fortran.diff Only in openmpi-1.5/config: missing Only in openmpi-1.5/config: ylwrap Only in openmpi-1.5: configure Only in openmpi-1.5/ompi/contrib/vt/vt: aclocal.m4 Only in openmpi-1.5/ompi/contrib/vt/vt: config.h.in Only in openmpi-1.5/ompi/contrib/vt/vt: configure Only in openmpi-1.5/ompi/contrib/vt/vt/extlib/otf: aclocal.m4 Only in openmpi-1.5/ompi/contrib/vt/vt/extlib/otf: config.h.in Only in openmpi-1.5/ompi/contrib/vt/vt/extlib/otf: configure Only in openmpi-1.5/ompi/contrib/vt/wrappers: mpicc-vt-wrapper-data.txt Only in openmpi-1.5/ompi/contrib/vt/wrappers: mpic++-vt-wrapper-data.txt Only in openmpi-1.5/ompi/contrib/vt/wrappers: mpif77-vt-wrapper-data.txt Only in openmpi-1.5/ompi/contrib/vt/wrappers: mpif90-vt-wrapper-data.txt Only in openmpi-1.5/ompi/mca/io/romio: autogen.subdirs Only in openmpi-1.5/ompi/tools/wrappers: mpicc-wrapper-data.txt Only in openmpi-1.5/ompi/tools/wrappers: mpic++-wrapper-data.txt Only in openmpi-1.5/ompi/tools/wrappers: mpif77-wrapper-data.txt Only in openmpi-1.5/ompi/tools/wrappers: mpif90-wrapper-data.txt Only in openmpi-1.5/opal/include: opal_config.h.in Only in openmpi-1.5/opal: libltdl Files openmpi-1.5/opal/Makefile.am and openmpi-1.5-RH/opal/Makefile.am differ Only in openmpi-1.5/opal/mca/paffinity: configure.m4 Only in openmpi-1.5/opal/mca/paffinity/linux: configure.m4 Files openmpi-1.5/opal/mca/paffinity/linux/Makefile.am and openmpi-1.5-RH/opal/mca/paffinity/linux/Makefile.am differ Files openmpi-1.5/opal/mca/paffinity/linux/paffinity_linux_component.c and openmpi-1.5-RH/opal/mca/paffinity/linux/paffinity_linux_component.c differ Files openmpi-1.5/opal/mca/paffinity/linux/paffinity_linux.h and openmpi-1.5-RH/opal/mca/paffinity/linux/paffinity_linux.h differ Files openmpi-1.5/opal/mca/paffinity/linux/paffinity_linux_module.c and openmpi-1.5-RH/opal/mca/paffinity/linux/paffinity_linux_module.c differ Only in openmpi-1.5/opal/mca/paffinity/linux: plpa Only in openmpi-1.5/opal/mca/paffinity: posix Only in openmpi-1.5/opal/mca/paffinity: solaris Only in openmpi-1.5/opal/mca/paffinity: windows With 1.5.4 there appears to be a --with-libltdl=external option to select the system libltdl. plpa seems to no longer be in 1.5.4, replaced by hwloc which can also be configured with --with-hwloc=external. If someone can indicate what items are bad from a license standpoint I can remove them. Otherwise I'm looking to update to 1.5.4 using the upstream tarball.
Please make sure that both libltdl and hwloc are done with external. As I recall, the security team requested that we remove libltdl entirely so that a build mistake couldn't result in an accidental security issue. It might be best to continue that practice and remove libltdl entirely. The hwloc program is not under any such high security needs though, so simply disabling it in the configure should be sufficient. The RHEL-6 openmpi.spec file also mentions that the MoreDebugging/* files were under an incompatible license. Those files may be gone as of the current version, but I believe they were the reason for the original comment about licensing issues, while the libltdl removal was for security and plpa removal was to make sure that we forced openmpi to use the system provided library instead.
