Hi,
IMHO there is absolutely no problem in updating the version of mpich suggested by science-nanoscale-phases. Actually, it still points to mpich because I hadn't noticed that the version had not been updated.
I'll gladly put there whichever name you choose for Mpich 3.
Best regards,
Yann.
Hi!
I am a maintainer of the "mpich2" package. My goal is to package Mpich 3.0.4 and get someone from the Debian Science team to upload it to Sid. Before Lucas Nussbaum stepped down as a maintainer, we decided that it would be a good idea to change the source package name from "mpich2" to "mpich" at the same time.
A source package called "mpich" already exists, but the software is very old and I don't really see the usefulness of it anymore. Perhaps I am wrong? I contacted the maintainers of "mpich" to ask, but did not get a response. Therefore I'm asking the Debian Science team.
Do you guys think the old "mpich" source package can be removed from Sid and Testing? I have checked the rdepends of all its associated binary packages. The only instance of an non-mpich package referring to a binary package from the "mpich" source is the package "science-nanoscale-physics", which only suggests libmpich1.0gf.
Mpich 3 is a much improved version of this software, so perhaps the old mpich source package can be eliminated, so I can go ahead and work on renaming the current mpich2 to mpich, and upgrade it to the newest upstream Mpich version 3.0.4?
Best regards
Torquil Sørensen
