Dear release team,

as requested by Marc Brockschmidt in <87ocj81kt4.fsf@solon.marcbrockschmidt.de>,
I file this bug for the mpi-defaults transition.

As discussed on the Debian Science list, we'd like to get rid of two old
MPI implementations, MPICH (mpich) and LAM/MPI (lam4). Both are not
maintained upstream anymore and have successors already in the archive,
MPICH2 (mpich2) and Open MPI (openmpi), respectively.

The current plan is to EOL MPICH and LAM by removing all reverse
dependencies on those packages. One big step in this direction would be
via mpi-defaults. The current version depends on LAM/MPI for arches
where Open MPI is not supported (yet). A package is prepared that will
depend on MPICH2 on these arches. After uploading that, binNMUs are
needed for the depending packages.

This transition will interfere with the hdf5 transition, as hdf5 does
build MPI-enabled versions.

Bugs have been filed for the remaining packages that do not use
mpi-defaults but depend on an MPI implementation directly. The can be
tracked via [1]. They need to be fixed by sourceful uploads, I only
mention them for reference.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the Debian Science
mailing list. And sorry for bringing it up so late in the release
cycle!

Best regards,
Manuel

Old builds were removed.

Will remove from testing.

Fixed a while back.

Camm wants to keep lam.

I'll remove rmpi from testing.

Fixed.

So that didn't work out so well.

Anyway.  With gerris and rmpi removed from testing, that leaves xmpi and
netpipe as lam reverse dependencies, and Camm wants to keep them for
some reason, so I consider this done and close this bug.

Julien
