[Libmesh-users] is libMesh in NPACI Rocks?

[Benjamin S. K. <be...@cf...>]

Thanks to John, it looks like libMesh might actually be in future 
releases of NPACI Rocks!

At the beginning of the year John's research was mentioned in the 
lonestar production mode announcement, which you can read here (and 
other places):
http://www.rocksclusters.org/Press/archives/000011.html

Since TACC (the supercomputing group at the University of Texas) is an 
NPACI partner it looks like libMesh might be in future releases of NPACI 
Rocks (a full cluster management solution).  The current stable Rocks 
release is from December 2003 and thus pre-dates the press release, but 
John found this page:
http://stommel.tamu.edu/~baum/npaci.html

which suggests that libMesh will be in the next release of Rocks...

Has anybody heard anything about this?  I'm all for them including this 
in their distribution (especially since it means *they* will be building 
RPMS :-) ), it just seems curious that none of us know anything about it...

-Ben
