Name        : lam
Product     : Fedora 9
Version     : 7.1.4
Release     : 7.fc9
URL         : http://www.lam-mpi.org/
Summary     : The Local Area Multicomputer programming environment
Description :
LAM (Local Area Multicomputer) is a Message-Passing Interface (MPI)
programming environment and development system for heterogeneous
computers on a network. LAM implements all of MPI version 1 with the
exception of cancelling of sends, and most of MPI version 2.  However,
LAM has been deprecated (for quite some time now) and most (if not all)
of the original LAM developers are now part of the Open MPI project.
Use of LAM in new programming is strongly discouraged as this package
will go away soon.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Fix a few minor issues with the lam package.  See bugs for details.

- Make sure to remove APSL licensed files from upstream tarball and rename
  tarball to version-rh1 to indicate such
- Make lam exist in its own prefix, which forestalls all conflicts with other
  mpi implementations and also eliminates the need for an alternatives setup
- Make environment-modules required for lam-libs and the default means of
  selecting between lam/openmpi/other mpi implementations
- Only apply the archmode patch on arches where gcc will accept a mode flag
- Make sure we remove any stale lam alternatives configs when we install so
  that upgrades will work properly
