RFS: libibverbs, libmthca - InfiniBand libraries
Hi, I'm searching for a new sponsor for my libibverbs and libmthca
packages. Florian Ragwitz very kindly provided excellent review and
sponsored the initial upload of these packages, but I have not been
able to reach him for the past month to upload a new version of
libibverbs, which among other things fixes a FTBS bug.
Therefore, since Florian no longer seems to have time for these
packages, I am asking for a new sponsor to help me maintain them. I'm
not sure what the proper protocol in this situation is, but it doesn't
seem good for Debian for a maintainer to be unable to upload fixes for
buggy packages in a timely way.
My original blurb about the packages is below:
Typical consumers of these libraries would be high-performance cluster
software. For example, there are two MPI implementations:
http://nowlab.cse.ohio-state.edu/projects/mpi-iba/
http://www.open-mpi.org/
that use these libraries to get extremely high performance on
InfiniBand clusters.
The sources to the packages can be downloaded from
http://www.digitalvampire.org/debian/
and in particular the new versions of libibverbs to be uploaded are
http://www.digitalvampire.org/debian/libibverbs_1.0.3-1.diff.gz
http://www.digitalvampire.org/debian/libibverbs_1.0.3-1.dsc

Thanks,
Roland
