[Bug 689217] Re: Please backport mpich2/1.3.1-1 from natty

[Evan Broder]

I've opened a task for maverick-backports so that we can ensure a smooth
upgrade path from Lucid through to Natty. I've also uploaded test builds
for Lucid and Maverick to my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~broder/+archive
/backports-tests); the test builds should be available shortly.

For each binary package for both Lucid and Maverick, we need
confirmation that the package builds, installs, and runs (where there is
something to run).

mpich2 has a few reverse dependencies: gromacs-dev and gromacs-mpich in
both Lucid and Maverick, additionally yorick-mpy-mpich2 in Maverick.

For rdeps, we need confirmation that the packages in the main archive
still work with the backported packages without requiring a rebuild.
Please confirm that the 3 packages above work in both Lucid (where
applicable) and Maverick with the backported packages.

The package also has reverse build dependencies: gromacs in both Lucid
and Maverick, additionally yorick in Maverick

For r-build-deps, we need confirmation that the version of the package
currently in the archive still builds against the backported package.
I'll submit no-change rebuilds of gromacs and yorick to my PPA once
mpich2 has finished building.

The most direct way to move this backport forward would be for you to
check that the packages b/i/r and that the rdeps still work.
