Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package petsc
[ Reason ]
upstream released petsc 3.14.5 with bug fixes only.
This will help improve the stability of the package over the lifetime
of the bullseye release.
This update also fixes Bug#983892, fixing orphaned alternatives after
removal of libpetsc64-complex3.14-dev,
[ Impact ]
If this release is not permitted into stable then some users may
encounter the issues addressed by the patch, especially when running
under MPI parallelization. A range of bugs have been addressed:
- MatBAIJ: Fix specialization for size 9
- Do not use MPI_Bcast() on a single rank.
- PCHPDDM: fix for KSPLSQR
- DMPlexVTKWriteAll_VTU: a couple of bugfixes
- handling error conditions in PetscOptions
- handling NULL objects in Fortran interface
- bugfix for MatMatMultSymbolic_MPIAIJ_MPIDense()
- CPARDISO: stick to OpenMPI BLACS when needed
- minor Documentation fixes
If the release is not allowed into stable then
libpetsc64-complex3.14-dev will leave dangling alternatives links when
removed.
[ Tests ]
debian/tests autopkgtest is enabled.
petsc debci tests have passed in unstable.
debci tests in client packages are also passing successfully in unstable
(petsc4py, slepc, slep4py, deal.ii, dolfin, mshr, dolfinx)
sundials continues to build successfully.
[ Risks ]
The patch fixes a range of bugs, it is not a simple one-line patch.
