Heh I was hoping you could look it up :)
The long list is at https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=debian-sc
ience-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org
So the libraries that PETSc uses and have upstream updates are (listing
by Debian source package):
blas 1.2.20110419-10 -> 3.50 (unless I missed some detail about upstream versions)
scalapack 1.8.0-12.1 -> 2.0.2
hypre 2.8.0b-2 -> 2.10.1
mumps 4.10.0.dfsg-3 -> 5.0.1
scotch 5.1.12b.dfsg-2 -> 6.0
suitesparse 1:4.2.1-3 -> * (4.4.5 is in experimental)
superlu 4.3+dfsg-3 -> 5.0
* Debian's record for the suitesparse homepage is out of date, it's
now http://faculty.cse.tamu.edu/davis/suitesparse.html
I thought someone recently said that suitesparse will be updated soon,
but I can't confirm.
dlocate lib*{blas,lapack,scalapack,hypre,mumps,scotch,suitesparse,superlu} | grep .so
tells me that these ones need multiarch attention:
blas (and atlas, and blacs)
scotch
mumps (uses scotch)
lapack
scalapack
hypre
petsc4py is unmaintained by the Debian Python Modules Team. We should
probably take it over. Latest version at
https://bitbucket.org/petsc/petsc4py is 3.6.0
slepc4py is hosted at https://bitbucket.org/slepc/slepc4py
latest version 3.6.0
