Hi Francesco, thanks for the work and the detailed feedback.
Aa a maintainer of the Trilinos and PETSc packages for Arch Linux (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/petsc and https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/trilinos), please allow me some comments on the dependencies. As far as I know, PETSc supports three packages from Trilinos: Kokkos, Zoltan, and ML. - Kokkos is to some extent independent of Trilinos (https://kokkos.org/), there is also a separate Debian package: https://packages.debian.org/sid/kokkos - I'm not 100% sure how Zoltan is used within PETSc, but to me it seems that it only needed as transitive dependency for MSTK, MOAB and ML (optional). - ML is deprecated and will be removed in the next Trilinos release. PETSc build on Arch already fails with the current Trilinos version due to all the deprecation warnings. To me it seems that a dependency of PETSc on Trilinos makes no sense anymore. - Having ML available as preconditioner would be nice, but that will become unsupported soon. - Zoltan is of no use unless one the packages that support it are dependencies of PETSc. - Kokkos can be supported by having a dependency on the separate package. Since PETSc brings its own small "package manager", there are three types of dependencies - Actual (optional) PETSc dependencies (e.g. ML) - Transitive dependencies - "convenience dependencies": From my limited insights, it seems that PETSc includes build instructions for packages that are not directly connected to PETSc. I believe those are just added to have a consistent stack for software that relies on PETSc and those libraries. In my opinion, a PETSc package becomes more useful if PETSc is configured with as many of those external libraries as possible. But this needs of course extra maintenance efforts to make sure that everything is compatible. best regards, Martin On Sun, 2024-10-20 at 12:36 +0000, Francesco Ballarin wrote: > Package: libpetsc-real3.21-dev > Followup-For: Bug #1085405 > X-Debbugs-Cc: martin.di...@kuleuven.be, > francesco.balla...@unicatt.it, dpars...@debian.org > > Hi Martin, > we expedited a fix by temporarily dropping trilinos, which itself is > in need of > a rebuild. > Keep in mind that PETSc 3.21.6+dfsg1-2 still can't build correctly on > all > arches because some of them still need a openmpi 5 fix, but at the > very least > it did build correctly on some of the most common ones (amd64 and > i386), which > hopefully are the ones that you need for now. > > We'll add trilinos back as soon as we can.
