Why not 4.0.0? It was released in September 2018 and it's supposedly ABI
compatible with 3.x:
https://www.mail-archive.com/announce@lists.open-mpi.org/msg00119.html
Because it's still relatively new. I've hit enough problems with major
bumps in openmpi to be a little wary. And I don't have the COPR testing
record for it. We are doing this last minute so I'm trying to be a
little more careful.
It's a big jump from the currently packaged 2.1.6. Any idea why
we are
so behind upstream? 3.0.0 was released in September 2017, 3.1.0 in May
2018. 3.0.0 should have been in F27 or F28 and 3.1.0 in F29 latest.
Because no one else has stepped up to help maintain it and I'm stretched
too thin.
Also, they say 2.1.6 is the last release in 2.1.x series, so I'd
say
an update to a supported version is a must.
I concur as well.
