I don't think I've needed to do anything more than add an extra build to openmpi and mpich for the packages I've tackled so far, i.e. there's no obvious problem with v3, at least for building. Presumably anyone doing openmpi breaking changes needs to be able to do rebuilds of dependencies, as Orion can. _______________________________________________ scitech mailing list -- scitech@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to scitech-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/scitech@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
