Description tawakiy 2013-03-14 11:49:32 UTC
Description of problem:
The latest mpich2 package violates the MPI packaging guidelines:
there exist two identical files:
/etc/modulefiles/mpich2-i386
/etc/modulefiles/mpi/mpich2-i386

As stated in Packaging:MPI the first one shouldn't exist.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mpich2-1.4.1p1-9

Actual results:
/etc/modulefiles/mpich2-i386 exist.

Expected results:
/etc/modulefiles/mpich2-i386 doesn't exist.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2013-12-21 12:08:33 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '18'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be 
able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

This is still there in F19, and in mpich - F20.

Comment 3 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2014-07-26 17:10:19 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 4 Orion Poplawski 2014-12-09 05:00:27 UTC
Unfortunately this got propagated to the mpich package.
