[Pkg-openmpi-maintainers] Small manual page patches from Debian package

Dear Open MPI developers,

The Debian (source) package for Open MPI still carries a few tiny patches
that we thought we had submitted to you, but then maybe we got that mixed up
with some new manual pages I sent in on June 29.  In any event, the files are

edd at ron:~/src/debian/SVN> ls -l openmpi/debian/patches/
total 24
-rw-r--r-- 2 edd edd   81 2007-09-26 19:05 00list
-rwxr-xr-x 2 edd edd  852 2007-09-26 19:05 10fix_config_infiniband.dpatch
-rwxr-xr-x 2 edd edd  556 2007-09-26 19:05 20fix_manpage_link.dpatch
-rwxr-xr-x 2 edd edd 2642 2007-09-26 19:05 30fix_manpage.dpatch
-rwxr-xr-x 2 edd edd 2466 2007-09-26 19:05 31fix_manpages_lintian.dpatch
-rwxr-xr-x 2 edd edd 2393 2007-09-26 19:05 50fix_kfreebsd_build.dpatch

You can ignore 50fix_kfreebsd_build.dpatch which is in 1.2.4, and
10fix_config_infiniband.dpatch which is just a config file comment on how to
silence ibverbs in the (common ?) case of no infiniband hardware.

We apply the one listed here:

edd at ron:~/src/debian/SVN> cat openmpi/debian/patches/00list
10fix_config_infiniband
20fix_manpage_link
30fix_manpage
31fix_manpages_lintian

and it is mostly just Makefile gymnastics suggested by our package check
tool. 

You can grab the patches from our SVN at 
  http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-openmpi
  svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-openmpi/
or via the diff.gz from
  http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/o/openmpi/openmpi_1.2.4-0.diff.gz
or I'd be glad to tar'em up for you well as they are so tiny.  

We'd be exited to see these integrated upstream, let us know if we can help
in other way.  1.2.4 packages for Debian have been built on x86, automated
builds ports are already available on amd64, alpha and ia64 but sparc and arm
failed for the 'no atomistic ops' reason as before.

Regards, Dirk
