Dear GridEngine developers, dear Michael!

I've just become aware of the status of the gridengine-* packages in Debian: upstream is dead for quite a while now, homepage link
(gridengine.sunsource.net) on page [2] is dead, newest in unstable is 6.2u5-7.

There is the Open Grid Scheduler. It seems this is the project gridengine lives on as. Looking at the web site [1], the impression is that this
project is alive, maintained and cared for (ok, this is naive, but I don't have the time to dwell into mailing lists and conduct interviews of
the developers).

We use the gridengine-* packages in our group for the grid. Seeing the present situation I wonder:

* Should our group move to Open Grid Scheduler? - I found no Debian packages - correct me if I am wrong.

* Is there an effort to package the Open Grid Scheduler? I found no ITP.

* Do you think it would make sense/be useful to package Open Grid Scheduler?

* Should our group move to condor [3] instead? What is your recommendation?

I could look into packaging Open Grid Scheduler, preferably joining forces with somebody.

Thank you for your opinion.

Best regards,

Laszlo Kajan
