Muammar, Lucas, and others,

Muammar: since you have the priority on this, can you let us know how you
want to proceed?


I have been working on it for some time. I started packaging it from
the work who other did (requesting his permission of using it
previously).

The package compiles, but it has a _bunch_ of lintian warnings. Look at them:

Thanks. Some of these warnings (e.g., confdb warnings about ancient files) should be fixed for 1.1, which went out a few weeks ago.

E: mpich2 source: ancient-autotools-helper-file src/mpi/romio/confdb/config.sub 2003-07-17

I'm not familiar with many of the below warnings, but some of these seem like they don't follow the debian naming convention:

W: libmpich2-1.0: non-dev-pkg-with-shlib-symlink usr/lib/libmpich.so.1.1 usr/lib/libmpich.so

Can you or someone else make a pass on the mpich2_1.0.7-1_amd64.changes changes file (is there an architecture independent one?) and see if some of these issues can be fixed? Btw, are these files put up online somewhere, so I can locally try them out as well?

I noticed that lintian also requires every installed binary to have a man page. I'll take care of that.

Thanks,

 -- Pavan
