Hello, I'm having two problems with PETSc, and need some help. First is the HPPA issue (below), for which I just supplied a list of arches for binary packages which includes everything but HPPA. But unlike say openmpi, the HPPA buildd doesn't indicate "Not-for-us", but tried to build it. [1] How do I specify that petsc is not for hppa? Or will that change happen automatically following resolution of ftp.debian.org RM bug 588344 (just filed)? [1] https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=petsc Second, I just uploaded a new version, and although the build process reports that it builds the libraries just fine, they are not installed during the install step -- though on my machine it all works fine. This seems odd to me, as "install" is just a matter of copying everything: cp -a linux-gnu-c-opt/lib debian/libpetsc3.1-dev/usr/lib/petscdir/3.1/linux-gnu-c-opt/ The linux-gnu-c-opt/lib directory is PETSC_LIB_DIR, but it must be empty, because the corresponding directory in the package is empty. Can someone else try to build it, and let me know what's in the linux-gnu-c-opt/lib directory at the end?
