Hi folks,
Deji Akingunola has stepped forward to package mpich2 and I'm reviewing
it:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=171993
Two questions have come up that aren't (afaict) covered by the Fedora
Extras packaging guidelines and we're looking for "authoritative"
answers:
1) What is official policy on conflicts between Extras and Core
packages? I have a vague memory that "no conflicts" is the
rule but I don't see it documented anywhere... [or maybe I
just need to look harder? ;-)]
2) What should one do in the case of packaging multiple MPI
implementations? The "interesting" problem with different
MPI implementations (eg. LAM/MPI, mpich, mpich2) is that
they all want to provide a set of binaries, headers, man
pages and libs that have similar (many identical) names.
So where does one put them? I like:
/usr/lib/${MPI_IMPL_NAME}/{include,lib,man,bin}
but thats just my opinion and more experienced packagers
may have a better idea...?
Any help/guidance is appreciated!
Ed
