Do it for all packages that
* mention perl, or
* have a directory name starting with p5-*, or
* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.
a) refer 'perl' in their Makefile, or
b) have a directory name of p5-*, or
c) have any dependency on any p5-* package
Like last time, where this caused no complaints.
File too long (should be no more than 24 lines).
Line too long (should be no more than 80 characters).
Trailing empty lines.
Trailing white-space.

Changes in OpenMPI 1.6
v1.6 is a major release; it effectively deprecates both the v1.4.x
and v1.5.x series, and replaces v1.4.x as the current "super stable" series.
A forthcoming v1.7 series will become the new "feature" series.
*All users* -- including production users and downstream providers --
are encouraged to upgrade to v1.6.
Note that v1.6 is ABI compatible with the entire v1.5.x series,
but is not ABI compatible with the v1.4.x series.
See http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/versions/ for a description
of Open MPI's release methodology.
Here is a list of changes in v1.6 as compared to v1.5.5:
- Fix some process affinity issues. When binding a process, Open MPI
will now bind to all available hyperthreads in a core (or socket,
depending on the binding options specified).
--> Note that "mpirun --bind-to-socket ..." does not work on POWER6-
and POWER7-based systems with some Linux kernel versions. See
the FAQ on the Open MPI web site for more information.

support). Thanks to Evan Clinton for the patch.

return immediately with MPI_SUCCESS. Thanks to Jeremiah Willcock
for the suggestion.

--stdin all" is used.
- Workaround XLC assembly bug.

callback functions.

than 8 TCP interfaces.
