* Description:
Berkeley Lab Checkpoint/Restart for Linux (BLCR)
This package implements system-level checkpointing of scientific applications
in a manner suitable for implementing preemption, migration and fault recovery
by a batch scheduler.
BLCR includes documented interfaces for a cooperating applications or
libraries to implement extensions to the checkpoint system, such as
consistent checkpointing of distributed MPI applications.
Using this package with an appropriate MPI implementation, the vast majority
of scientific applications which use MPI for communication on Linux clusters
are checkpointable without any modifications to the application source code.
* Why this package is not eligible to be included in Fedora:
This package contains BLCR kernel module so it can not be included in Fedora.
* The output rpmlint gives on both the source and binary packages.
- BLCR-kmod source package:

- BLCR source package:
blcr.src: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US checkpointing -> check
pointing, check-pointing, checkpoint
blcr.src: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US checkpointable -> checkpoint
able, checkpoint-able, checkpoint
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 2 warnings.
The first two messages are just spelling problems.

1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 3 errors, 4 warnings.
The 1st message: I think this is a bug of rpmlint
The 2nd & 3rd message: I don't know how to correct it ( but I don't think it
is
serious)
The 4th message: There's no documentation for this module package
The 5th-7th errors: Due to fedora politics about modules.
- BLCR binary package
blcr.i686: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US checkpointing -> check
pointing, check-pointing, checkpoint
blcr.i686: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US checkpointable -> checkpoint
able, checkpoint-able, checkpoint
blcr.i686: W: service-default-enabled /etc/init.d/blcr
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 3 warnings.
The first 2 messages: Spelling problems
The 3rd: I suppose that is due to the fact that BLCR is already installed on my
machine.
* It's my first RPM fusion package
* Also, I'm seeking for a sponsor :) (I'm not sponsored packager in fedora)
