Hmmm…this does indeed look a bit confusing. We’ve been discussing
this in the OMPI devel group, and we would appreciate it if you
officially orphaned the project so someone else can pick it up. We
have some people willing to pick it up, but it needs to be
orphaned first.

Hi Sylvestre<br class="">

I'd be willing to assume the maintaining role if

The repo is here:<br class="">

I don't know how familiar you are with Debian
packaging but you should:<br class="">
1) build the current version<br class="">
2) try to understand how it works (fix some bugs for
example)<br class="">
3) update to a new version<br class="">
<br class="">
</blockquote>
I know nothing about Debian packaging, I’m afraid -
however, I have been one of the lead OMPI developers
since the project’s inception 12 years ago, so I know
the code quite well. I’m willing to tackle this just
because our users have cited it as a “hole” in our
coverage, and we’d like to see it filled.<br class="">
<br class="">
I looked at the link you sent me, but it doesn’t provide
any context to understand what I’m looking at - not even
a simple explanation of what repo system is in use (git,
mercurial, svn,…?). Is there some “beginners” doc for
new Debian package maintainers?<br class="">
