Hi, Just a couple of additional thoughts. First off, when Open MPI officially goes gold, I would suggest one of the developers puts up a listing on Freshmeat, as there are a lot of academics using that to track projects these days.
Secondly, it's great that Open MPI is going to use a CPAN-like archive - the projects I know of that do this are Perl, Python and TeX, and I use all three extensively. The main problem with such archives is that they tend not to be that well known and it can be hard to track updates on them. Perhaps it might be worth using RSS as a notification service for your COMAN (Comprehensive Open MPI Archive Network) repository? Third, although there'll likely be some source changes between now and the beta, the configure/make options are presumably pretty stable, so it would be easy for me to use the "accident" to draw up a suggested .spec file for you, so you (or users) can roll RPMs from the tarball, if you'd be interested. __________________________________ Yahoo!
