[Pkg-scicomp-devel] Open MPI 1.3 related rebuilds

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

Dear maintainers,

You are maintaining one or more of the following packages which are all
reverse dependencies of Open MPI (== libopenmpi1):

   gromacs-openmpi   	[ this is one will be taken care of by Manuel ]
   illuminator-demo
   libarpack2
   libboost1.37-dbg
   libboost-mpi1.37.0
   libhdf5-openmpi-1.6.6-0
   libhypre2.0.0
   libhypre-2.4.0
   libluminate7
   libmesh0.6.2
   libmesh0.6.2-pure
   libmesh0.6.3
   libparmetis3.1
   libpetsc2.3.3
   libspooles2.2
   paraview
   parmetis-test
   r-cran-rmpi		[ this one I will re-upload myself ]


Open MPI 1.3, released a few days ago, recommends a rebuild of its
dependencies.  

Given the fairly small number of affected packages, we are hoping do drive
this rebuild 'informally' rather than with the full force of libopenmpi-1.2
and libopenmpi-1.3 libraries (which would still require rebuilds, but also
delays via NEW etc pp).  Details and logs of this initiative are on a new
wiki page at   http://wiki.debian.org/OpenMPI13Transition

What we are hoping is that you can rebuild your package in the next couple of
days.

Unless convinced otherwise, we intend to file wishlist bug reports in about
two weeks, and would create binNMUs in another two weeks.

We hope that we can count on your cooperation in getting Open MPI updated
throughout Debian.

With best regards,  

Dirk
on behalf on pkg-openmpi-maintainers
