** Description changed: Rationale for OpenMPI 1.5: OpenMPI 1.5 includes upstream support for ARM architectures; this is of importance for future ARM server deployments supporting HPC clusters. openmpi 1.5.4-2~exp2 is currently in Debian experimental and includes fixes for bugs identified during this evaluation process. OpenMPI 1.5 is considered the beta/feature release by upstream; As the packaging of OpenMPI 1.4 for Ubuntu and Debian includes patches to enable ARM support AND its quite late in the release cycle to undertake a transition for ~60 packages a new openmpi1.5 package has been created and will be uploaded to universe. This will allow users to preview the OpemMPI 1.5 release in Ubuntu precise without risking the proven function of the OpenMPI 1.4 and its dependencies in the Ubuntu archive. Upstream Changelog: See attached changelog.txt Impact: New package which will Conflict with existing openmpi packages (transition not being undertaken this cycle). - Build log: TODO + Build log: openmpi1.5_1.5.4-0ubuntu1_amd64.build Testing: Straight install of new packages - see piuparts.log Conflict check with existing openmpi-* packages and MPI_Hello test - see openmpi-conflict-check.log >>> Original Bug Report <<< 1.4.3-2.1ubuntu1 is the current Ubuntu Precise version. 1.5 adds support for ARM server, and is therefore interesting.
