build_mpich_source.yml

# Build MPICH from source using the latest commit on the
# 'main' branch and cache the results. The result is compressed
# into a 'mpich.tar' archive to preserve permissions and
# then is uploaded as the artifact 'mpich' which can later
# be downloaded with 'actions/download-artifact' and then
# uncompressed with 'tar xvf mpich.tar -C <directory>'
