[petsc-users] openmpi 1.4.4

Fri Dec 16 06:59:41 CST 2011

OpenMPI 1.4.4 is the stable release since Oct 2011 but petsc-3.2-p5 still downloads 1.4.3:

$ grep -m 1 download_openmpi petsc-3.2-p5/config/BuildSystem/config/packages/MPI.py
    self.download_openmpi   = ['http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v1.4/downloads/openmpi-1.4.3.tar.gz']

Is there a reason not to use 1.4.4? I'm considering OpenMPI 1.4.4 with intel compilers 11.1 on a CentOS 6.1 cluster, if anyone has experience with such a setup please let me know.
