7 years ago Thank you for the submission. PBS Pro is recognized as an established software used in production environments. The TSC has recommended acceptance of the open-source PBS Pro to enhance the modularity of OpenHPC by providing administrators additional flexibility on the choice of resource manager. There are some follow-up questions which we will close with you on separately.
A new tracker has been created in https://github.com/openhpc/ohpc/issues/320 for integration work.

If yes, please briefly describe the intent and location of the tests.
The test harness is located in the test/fw directory and the tests are located in the test/tests directory. The tests are intended to validate basic functions of PBS Pro. The test suite itself will be expanded over time to validate additional functionality and bug fixes.
Does the component have additional software dependencies (beyond compilers/MPI) that are not part of standard Linux distributions?
If yes, please list the dependencies and associated licenses.
