Hello Justin,
I've been working on cluster ebuilds for a while (Apache Mesos, spark,
etc). I'm willing to proxy maintain these except torque. Assuming there
are no users of torque on gentoo (bgo seems inactive...it's dead; how
would I know?).
Looks like Ian got torque already, but he may appreciate some help. For the
other packages, I'm more then happy to proxy maintain them for you. Just send
any patches my way (including a first one to add you as a maintainer :)
OK will do and thanks for the help/sponsorship on these packages.
My focus is building gentoo centric HPC clusters that do not require
systemd as a component, with deployment emphasis on bare-metal and
minimized gentoo systems where only the codes absolutely necessary to
support the necessary frameworks are dynamically installed. Many of the
'retro' tools in this cluster space, are quite useful for my work.
The guidexml page for empi is old, so where do I read up on it's
projected usage (just not familiar with that empi project/package).
The empi documentation did get moved over to the wiki [1]. However, it's pretty
much the exact same thing you're seeing in the guidexml page. I know there were
some HPC sites using it in the past, but I haven't heard from anyone lately.
That could mean no one is using it, or that everything is working as expected.

I'll survey and work on the others (checking bgo) and elsewhere for
issues first. Then I'll poke around on empi an see what's up.
Netflix has posted a neat little (debian) cluster and running their
framework on arm (rasp. pi) using apache mesos::

My (ultimate) goal is pretty similar, just using gentoo in lieu of
debian; so if you run across any other relevant codes, drop me a line.
Thanks again,
James
