I will work on mepo. We have an RC in PyPi now (https://pypi.org/project/mepo/), so the package was easy to make. I'll work on our side to see if we are ready to move on with a release.

(We have to be a bit more cautious internally as the mepo state file is moving from pickle to json, so existing clones throw some warnings. We want to let users know.)

Thanks very much @mathomp4! Yes, I remembered our previous conversation and that's why assigned this to you rather than me pushing what is in our branch.

@climbfuji Well, first we see if spack mainline likes it:

spack/spack#44879

if so, I can work to get it into JSCDA spack.

ETA: Or if they take too long, I'll do the same here tomorrow or something. :)

[climbfuji]

Both of my packages are merged into spack develop. Both of them received updates=improvements as part of the process, which will come back to spack-stack-dev with the next merge from spack develop. I updated the list above.

[mathomp4]

Well, something weird is happening with spack mainline and mepo, so let me try and bring it in here.

ETA: Okay JCSDA/spack#447 has the updates from my two spack mainline PRs for mepo. Just in case.

[mathomp4]

Well, spack/spack#44879 is now in mainline spack so... 🤷🏼

The changes will get in some way :)

@srherbener can you take a look at the openmpi recipe and push changes to main spack?

[srherbener]

My apologies for the slow response. I've been buried with getting spack-stack-1.8.0 to build on Mac Sonoma. I'm planning on getting to the openmpi recipe next week.

[climbfuji]

The openblas update was merged upstream. Last one on the list is openmpi (two-level namespace)

[srherbener]

Sorry about the delay in getting to this.

I initially tried to cherry-pick the openmpi, macos, two-level-namespace updates but there is enough divergence since the last time we sync'd with the authoritative spack repo that the cherry picked commits are pulling in a bunch of other changes not related to the macos openmpi update. So I have created a PR by manually adding in the code in the openmpi package.py script to introduce the two_level_namespace variant: spack/spack#47202
