Bug#891817: transition: petsc

[Drew Parsons <dparsons@debian.org>]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition

I'd like to proceed with the transition of petsc (and slepc) from 3.7
to 3.8. 

I've confirmed rdepends getdp, sundials and deal.ii will build. dolfin
will build after a source upload (it has a tight dependency on the
petsc version)

I've reorganised the packaging so there are no longer patch-specific
packages, just the minor version (libpetsc-real3.8 and
libpetsc-complex3.8 instead of libpetsc3.7.7 and
libpetsc-complex-3.7.7).  

I added "real" to the package name (for real number support) to get
naming symmetry with the complex number package, and to better reflect the
soname of the library.

I will also update slepc from 3.7 to 3.8 as part of this transition.


Ben file:

title = "petsc";
is_affected = .depends ~ "libpetsc3.7.7" | .depends ~ "libpetsc-real3.8";
is_good = .depends ~ "libpetsc-real3.8";
is_bad = .depends ~ "libpetsc3.7.7";
