During the course of trying to get this to work, I got a bit of a shock when mpirun tried to start reading my mpd.conf. It turns out both systems use the same config file. It's probably too rare a problem to be worth fixing, but I thought I'd file it anyway just in case. If you'd like to mark this as WONTFIX, that's fine by me. 5:) ikelos@gentoo.org 2006-08-28 08:50:39 0000 Actually, this is slightly worse than I first thought. It turns out they both write to /usr/bin/mpd, so installing one after the other will break the first one... jakub@gentoo.org 2006-08-28 08:57:56 0000 FEATURES="collision-protect" for t3h win! BTW, isn't it mandatory for devs? :P dberkholz@gentoo.org 2006-08-28 09:09:35 0000 We can't really change the mpich daemon configuration file location, that's just too nonstandard and would break stuff. It wouldn't surprise me if the same were true for mpd. Maybe a blocker's the way to go. ticho@gentoo.org 2006-08-28 09:22:50 0000 Jakub: you can have collision-protect zillion times in your FEATURES, if you're not actually using both packages - and how many people use both mpich2 and mpd (as Mike already mentioned) ? As for mpd.conf and /usr/bin/mpd files installed by media-sound/mpd, I really do not want to change them from upstream's designated names. I imagine this is the same for sys-cluster/mpich2 maintainer, so I'm afraid blocker is the only way to go. As a side note, Debian call their mpich2's mpd "mpich-mpd-bin". ikelos@gentoo.org 2006-08-28 09:26:51 0000 Yep, not a problem. Blocker sounds like the best way to go (don't forget mpd-svn). Thanks... 5:) ticho@gentoo.org 2006-08-28 09:55:01 0000 OK, added a block to both mpd an mpd-svn. Donnie added the block to mpich2, so we're good to close this bug. Thanks everybody. jakub@gentoo.org 2007-05-23 05:54:00 0000 *** Bug 179477 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
