#38319: openmpi @1.6.4 +gcc45 non-standard names for executables --------------------------+------------------- Reporter: dstrubbe@… | Owner: mww@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Low | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: openmpi | --------------------------+------------------- Comment (by larryv@…): Replying to [comment:3 sean@…]:
No, there is no specific reason for it besides neglect. lammpi is decrepit and should be replaced_by openmpi. Ideally, we should have a 'port select mpi …' but that would probably involve switching the mpi ports to subports. Any thoughts from other devs on that?
There’s no need to make them subports. All the `port select` mechanism does is specify symlinks and the files in applicable ports that can be the targets. See clang and gcc, for instance. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38319#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
