2) split up mpi ports into fortan subports
This would break the macports structure of compilers already in place. Also, this breaks mpi standards because fortran mpi wrappers need to exist.
What do you mean that MPI standards require Fortran MPI wrappers? Some MPI's seem to produce useless Fortran wrappers that just write an error message if compiled without Fortran. Not sure how that helps anything. For comparison, the openmpi port does not bother installing mpif77 or mpif90 if installed without Fortran support. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/39428#comment:10> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
