There is. We are simply slow in implementing this for all packages. [ Long and boring story: MPICH was never in Debian, LAM deprecated, OpenMPI undermaintained. I adopted it a few years ago; Manuel then took over. Open MPI _upstream_ never had support for certain arches (for performance / ASM use reasons) so we always had these 'holess'. ] The situation is mostly fixed and automatic now. Instead of depending on openmpi, just depend in mpi-default-dev and everything should just work (TM). | Could any other package with the same problem serve as an example? Here is what my pgapack package does: Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7.0), mpi-default-dev and here is my Rmpi package (which also needs R): Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7.0.0), cdbs, r-base-dev (>= 2.12.0), mpi-default-dev Hope this helps, Dirk | Kind regards | | Andreas. | | -- | http://fam-tille.de | | | -- | To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-science-requ...@lists.debian.org | with a subject of "unsubscribe".
