pkglint -r --network --only "migrate"
As a side-effect of migrating the homepages, pkglint also fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines. These and the new homepages have been
checked manually.
1.10.7:
- Fix bug in TCP BTL that impacted performance on 10GbE (and faster)
networks by not adjusting the TCP send/recv buffer sizes and using
system default values
- Add missing MPI_AINT_ADD and MPI_AINT_DIFF function delcarations in
mpif.h
- Fixed time reported by MPI_WTIME; it was previously reported as
dependent upon the CPU frequency.

MPI_(R)(GET_)ACCUMULATE

- Fix signal handling for rsh launcher
- Fix Fortran compilation errors by removing MPI_SIZEOF in the Fortran
interfaces when the compiler does not support it
- Fixes for the pre-ignore-TKR "mpi" Fortran module implementation
(i.e., for older Fortran compilers -- these problems did not exist
in the "mpi" module implementation for modern Fortran compilers):
- Add PMPI_* interfaces
- Fix typo in MPI_FILE_WRITE_AT_ALL_BEGIN interface name
- Fix typo in MPI_FILE_READ_ORDERED_BEGIN interface name
- Fixed the type of MPI_DISPLACEMENT_CURRENT in all Fortran interfaces
to be an INTEGER(KIND=MPI_OFFSET_KIND).
- Fixed typos in MPI_INFO_GET_* man pages. Thanks to Nicolas Joly for
the patch
- Fix typo bugs in wrapper compiler script
Unsorted entries in PLIST files have generated a pkglint warning for at
least 12 years. Somewhat more recently, pkglint has learned to sort
PLIST files automatically. Since pkglint 5.4.23, the sorting is only
done in obvious, simple cases. These have been applied by running:
pkglint -Cnone,PLIST -Wnone,plist-sort -r -F
This has been a pkglint warning for several years now, and pkglint can even
fix it automatically. And it did for this commit.
Only in lang/mercury, two passes of autofixing were necessary because there
were nested variables.

improved performance. It is still experimental, and requires
setting coll_ml_priority > 0 to become active.
- Add version check during startup to ensure you are using the same
version of Open MPI on all nodes in a job.
- Significantly improved the performance of MPI_DIMS_CREATE for large
values. Thanks to Andreas Schfer for the contribution.
- Removed ASYNCHRONOUS keyword from the "ignore TKR" mpi_f08 module.
- Deprecated the following mpirun options:
--bynode, --bycore, --byslot: replaced with --map-by node|core|slot.
--npernode, --npersocket: replaced with --map-by ppr:N:node and
--map-by ppr:N:socket, respectively
- Pick NFS "infinitely stale" fix from ROMIO upstream.
- Various PMI2 fixes and extension to support broader range of mappings.
- Improve launch performance at large scale.
- Add support for PBS/Torque environments that set environment
variables to indicate the number of slots available on each nodes.
Set the ras_tm_smp MCA parameter to "1" to enable this mode.
- Add new, more scalable endpoint exchange (commonly called "modex")
method that only exchanges endpoint data on a per-peer basis
on first message. Not all transports have been updated to use
this feature. Set the rte_orte_direct_modex parameter to "1"
to enable this mode.

**********************************************************************
* CRITICAL CHANGE
*
* As of release 1.7.4, OpenMPI's default mapping, ranking, and binding
* settings have changed:
*
* Mapping:
* if #procs <= 2, default to map-by core
* if #procs > 2, default to map-by socket
* Ranking:
* if default mapping is used, then default to rank-by slot
* if map-by <obj> is given, then default to rank-by <obj>,
* where <obj> is whatever object we mapped against
* Binding:
* default to bind-to core
*
* Users can override any of these settings individually using the
* corresponding MCA parameter. Note that multi-threaded applications
* in particular may want to override at least the binding default
* to allow threads to use multiple cores.

reported in PR 49080. I did look in the package configury to figure
out which ones were mutually connected, but I may have gotten it
wrong as there's a monumental maze of m4 autotoolery.
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

user's buffer if the flag is .TRUE.
- Fix VampirTrace compilation issue with the PGI compiler suite.
Disable automatic detection of SGE and SLURM to avoid PLIST divergence.
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.
- Add support for ARM5 and ARM6 (in addition to the existing ARM7
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.

abort configure if we detect it.

- Fix some include file ordering issues on some BSD-based platforms.
Thanks to Paul Hargove for this (and many, many other) fixes.

callback functions.
- Fix a bunch of minor C++ API issues; thanks to Fujitsu for the patch.

applications. The MPI application ABI has been broken from the
v1.3/v1.4 series. MPI applications compiled against any prior
version of Open MPI will need to, at a minimum, re-link. See the
README file for more details.

MPI_COMM_CREATE_KEYVAL, MPI_GREQUEST_START, MPI_REGISTER_DATAREP,
MPI_TYPE_CREATE_KEYVAL, and MPI_WIN_CREATE_KEYVAL.
- Fixes for Solaris oversubscription detection.
- If the PML determines it can't reach a peer process, print a
slightly more helpful message. Thanks to Nick Edmonds for the
suggestion.
- Make btl_openib_if_include/exclude function the same way
btl_tcp_if_include/exclude works (i.e., supplying an _include list
overrides supplying an _exclude list).
- Apply more scalable reachability algorithm on platforms with more
than 8 TCP interfaces.
- Various assembly code updates for more modern platforms / compilers.

Open MPI.

profiling interface, it essentially prints out to stderr when select
MPI functions are invoked.
- Update bundled VampirTrace to v5.8.2.
- Add pkg-config(1) configuration files for ompi, ompi-c, ompi-cxx,
ompi-f77, ompi-f90. See the README for more details.
- Removed the libopenmpi_malloc library (added in the v1.3 series)
since it is no longer necessary
- Add several notifier plugins (generally used when Open MPI detects
system/network administrator-worthy problems); each have their own
MCA parameters to govern their usage. See "ompi_info --param
notifier <name>" for more details.
- command to execute arbitrary commands (e.g., run a script).
- file to send output to a file.
