|
||
<p>The following list of release notes applies to this code base as of
|
||
this writing:</p>
|
||
<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li><p>PMIx includes support for a wide variety of supplemental
|
||
hardware and software packages. When configuring PMIx, you may
|
||
need to supply additional flags to the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">configure</span></code> script in order
|
||
to tell PMIx where the header files, libraries, and any other
|
||
required files are located. As such, running <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">configure</span></code> by itself
|
||
may not include support for all the devices (etc.) that you expect,
|
||
especially if their support headers / libraries are installed in
|
||
non-standard locations. See the
|
||
listing of configure command-line switches, below, for more details.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>The majority of PMIx’s documentation is now on the <a class="reference external" href="http://openpmix.readthedocs.io/">ReadTheDocs site</a>.
|
||
The man pages are also installed by default.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Note that PMIx documentation uses the word “component”
|
||
frequently; the word “plugin” is probably more familiar to most
|
||
users. As such, end users can probably completely substitute the
|
||
word “plugin” wherever you see “component” in our documentation.
|
||
For what it’s worth, we use the word “component” for historical
|
||
reasons, mainly because it is part of our acronyms and internal API
|
||
function calls.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>PMIx has taken some steps towards <a class="reference external" href="https://reproducible-builds.org/">Reproducible Builds</a>. Specifically, PMIx’s
|
||
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">configure</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">make</span></code> process, by default, records the build date
|
||
and some system-specific information such as the hostname where PMIx
|
||
was built and the username who built it. If you desire a
|
||
Reproducible Build, set the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">$SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">$USER</span></code> and
|
||
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">$HOSTNAME</span></code> environment variables before invoking <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">configure</span></code> and
|
||
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">make</span></code>, and PMIx will use those values instead of invoking
|
||
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">whoami</span></code> and/or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">hostname</span></code>, respectively. See
|
||
<a class="reference external" href="https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/source-date-epoch/">https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/source-date-epoch/</a> for
|
||
information on the expected format and content of the
|
||
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">$SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH</span></code> variable.</p></li>
