Description
Presently, openmpi
provides subports for the following clang 3.x versions:
- 3.3
- 3.4
- 3.7
That's in addition to clang 5 through 11.
The clang 3.x subports have the following usage statistics, over the past 365 days:
- openmpi-clang33 - zero installs
- openmpi-clang34 - zero installs
- openmpi-clang37 - one install
Of note, sibling MPI port mpich
doesn't provide subports for clang 3.x versions; only for 5 through 11.
It's suggested that we remove the subports for clang 3.3 and 3.4, given the usage stats.

Removing these subports may well be the right move, but I wouldn't use the stats to justify it given the small sample size and the "long tail" nature of the data.

Work related to pruning the target compiler list for both openmpi
and mpich
is being tracked by issue:62807. Closing as duplicate.

TracTickets for help on using

As a quick follow-up: While we should continue supporting a wide range of compiler versions, the sheer number of combinations we provide is almost overwhelming.
If we can remove a few of the oldest compilers, that would help a bit with maintaining this port.
