Re: MPICH2 packaging

[Pavan Balaji <balaji@mcs.anl.gov>]

Thanks Adam. Btw, can you send me the control files for MPICH-1? I can 
try to modify them to work with MPICH2 (I don't know much about debian 
binary package creation, but am somewhat familiar with spec files, so a 
link to get me started on this would be useful as well).

All: If anyone is interested in maintaining MPICH2 for Debian, please 
let me know. We'd like to work closely with you to make sure MPICH2 is 
well supported for Debian.

Thanks,
