Greetings, and thanks as always for your wonderful work here!

A few issues raised in the Debian package:

1) A user requested that .pofile not be sourced if it does not exist,
regardless of invocation options. Right now we have this small patch:

--- lam-7.0.6.orig/share/ssi/boot/rsh/src/ssi_boot_rsh_inetexec.c
+++ lam-7.0.6/share/ssi/boot/rsh/src/ssi_boot_rsh_inetexec.c

+ sfh_argv_add(&cmdc, &cmdv, "( ! [ -e ./.profile ] || . ./.profile;");
   for (i = 0; argv[i]; ++i)
     sfh_argv_add(&cmdc, &cmdv, argv[i]);
   if (!(fl_csh || fl_bash))

2) 'wipe' conflicts with a file erasing utility of the same name, so
   we are maintaing the following patch:

--- lam-7.0.6.orig/share/include/lamnet.h
+++ lam-7.0.6/share/include/lamnet.h

 /*

(Plus we loop through the manpages replacing wipe with lamwipe -- I
can provide our script if desired.

3) A few manpage edits:

  * Moved manpage libmpi.3 -> libmpi.7 to match internal .TH designations
    (lintian cleanup)
  * Set section in manpage lamd.1 from 7 to 1 (lintian cleanup)

Take care,
