Hi all -
I filed https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/pull/10769 this morning, proposing to remove two capabilities from OMPI's configure script: 1. The ability to take an OMPI tarball, and drop in a component source tree, then run configure to build OMPI with that component. 2. The ability to use full configure scripts (instead of configure.m4 stubs like most components today). Note that both functionalities have been broken for at least 3 months in main, although possibly in a way that would only be somewhat broken and may actually result in a working build (but with many shell errors during configure). Since we don’t have good tests, have provably broken this path recently, we should remove it unless there’s a clear user today. So this is really a call for any users of this functionality to identify themselves. If I don’t hear back by Sept 19, I will consider silence to be assent. Brian
