Spec URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~jgu/gerris.spec SRPM URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~jgu/gerris-1.3.2-3.20111123.el6.src.rpm Description: Gerris is an Open Source Free Software library for the solution of the partial differential equations describing fluid flow.
You're building an MPI version, so you need to comply to the MPI guidelines http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/MPI regarding the placement of libraries and binaries.
Those guidelines must have been written by someone on crack, seriously.
Spec URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~jgu/gerris.spec SRPM URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~jgu/gerris-1.3.2-4.20111123.el6.src.rpm OK, new version of the packages which properly build -openmpi and -mpich2 subpackages complying with the MPI packaging guidelines (as far as I can tell). A key change here is that I no longer split out -libs and -devel subpackages since the main runtime actually requires both the -devel and -libs packages if I go that route - gerris performs on-the-fly compilation of functions, and the upstream maintainer recommended not splitting them out: https://groups.google.com/group/gerris-devel/browse_thread/thread/5fc0c66332abe09f?hl=en The only possible advantage to splitting out the -devel and -libs packages is for other programs to build against, but the binary runtimes are so small that I really don't think this is useful (as we'd then end up with 10 instead of 4 subpackages). At this point I have this building on RHEL6 but haven't had chance to build on rawhide yet.
Updated package with a few fixes: Spec URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~jgu/gerris.spec SRPM URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~jgu/gerris-1.3.2-6.20111123.el6.src.rpm
I am triaging old review tickets. I can't promise a review if you reply, but by closing out the stale tickets we can devote extra attention to the ones which aren't stale. This one fails to build for me, due to come autoconf issues. Here's a scratch build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=5319486
Our local needs for this package have dropped for this, so I don't forsee having time to work on it until after July, at which point I'll pick it up. Feel free to close it, or leave it open.
Having the ticket visible with nothing to review wastes reviewer time looking at it, to the point that most people don't bother looking at old tickets because most of them aren't reviewable. I guess I'll stick NotReady in the whiteboard so it at least drops out of the reports.
I'm closing this bug as a stalled review so that anyone else interested can pick it up. This follows on from the requesters comment in 6.
