Packages openmpi in SL5.3 x86_64

2012-10-16 Thread Jean-Michel Barbet

Hello,

I noticed that the package openmpi (+related) have a lower version in
security updates than in the reference for SL5.3 x86_64 :

ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/53/x86_64/SL/
= openmpi-1.2.7-6.el5.i386.rpm

ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/53/x86_64/updates/security/
= openmpi-1.2.3-4.el5.x86_64.rpm

Is this normal ?

Thanks

JM

Out of date skew is not necessarily expected, but unsurprising, if you
stay at an old release. Security updates that were published for SL
5.1 or SL 5.2 could be in the security updates channel, . Why aren't
you updated to SL 5.8, which is being actively maintained and has
openmpi-1.4.4 ?

Thanks Nico, yes I know I should run latest SL5 versions. At some point
all these machines will be reinstalled in SL6 but I was just curious.

Ahem, cough. Might I suggest the more appropriate --
