#11576: mpich2 and openmpi both claim mpiexec(1) manpage --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: stephen@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1 Keywords: mpi | Port: mpich2 openmpi hdf5-18 --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment(by eborisch@…): There is a long list of files that both ports claim in the man pages, like all of the MPI_Xxxx commands in man3. I'm not sure what the thought would be on this. In general, one would use one or the other, not both (they both implement the MPI standard, which is why they have so many conflicting man pages.) I could certainly add a (defaulting to enabled) +man variant that could be disabled to exclude all the man pages from mpich2's installation to work around this. Or I could just mark them as conflicting. Insofar as the non man3 conflicts (listed below) I would propose that openmpi rename these files to match the executables that are actually being installed (openmpicc, openmpicxx, etc.) by openmpi. man1 conflicts: {{{ share/man/man1/mpicc.1.gz share/man/man1/mpicxx.1.gz share/man/man1/mpiexec.1.gz share/man/man1/mpif77.1.gz share/man/man1/mpif90.1.gz }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/11576#comment:12> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
