That does not help much. I needed 1.9 because 2.0 was not working well.

I have to sometimes recompile MVAPICH2 because we use SLURM and quite 
often they increase the major version of the library and it requires 
recompilation of software using SLURM libraries.

By not providing the source packages, and restricting SVN access, you may 
be putting people into a bad position. Today, I heard several times 'Why 
don't you use OpenMPI' from colleagues who I discussed the issue with. 
OpenMPI is allowing access to older versions.

I believe it would be beneficial if we could have access to source 
packages of older versions.

Anyway, thanks for trying to help.

Thanks,
Evren
