Nothing to discuss, we just either update the existing one or add another package version into the archive. -robbie.w
Added a bug task to track activity. -- Daviey
There seems to have been some rudimentary support for ARM added in the past (https:/
rbasak, lets discuss it in a regular meeting - can you raise it please? Thanks -- Daviey
<janimo> rbasak, does openmpi 1.5 have features you want for server? The BP is not clear about whether you want to replace 1.4 or have both versions (1.5 is labeled beta by upstream)
<janimo> since if you want 1.5 arm FTBFS should not be a blocker and we should have it synced from experimental so it gets enough testing
