If I may, I'd like to suggest mpi-defaults go ahead despite good intentions that OpenMPI be ready before squeeze. That way, maintainers of MPI-using packages (e.g. me) don't have to deal with the mess from today until the day OpenMPI becomes the defacto default. If that day arrives before squeeze: no problem, mpi-defaults can just disappear. In the meanwhile, it serves a need. To answer Manuel Prinz's question: *my* goal is only to build mpi-using packages with some default MPI, not with all flavours of MPI. Thanks, -Steve
