Hi everyone!
I indeed still maintain the PPA [1]. These builds are nightlies of the Trilinos repo (a clone is [2], but their plan is to entirely switch to GitHub by the end of the year) with the debian folder of [3] (branch: debian). Most of the work for this was done by Felix and me, but as Anton pointed out there are still some things to do. A blocker for myself had been the nonexistence of a parallel netCDF in Debian, but this situation might sustain for a little longer so I think we can go ahead and get the Trilinos debian package in shape and add the parallel I/O functionality later (it should be trivial).
Perhaps we can discuss the details of what still needs to be done in a separate thread for everyone who's interested. Graham, Felix? Hands up!
Cheers,
Nico
