Arch Linux User Repository

Right, alad-edu/petsc was built from the aur/petsc PKGBUILD. I can test it later with petsc-complex, when I get back to my Arch install.

edit: same issue with petsc-complex (which needed upgrading to 3.17).

Thank you very much, I tested with PETSc installed without sourcing /etc/profile.d/petsc.sh, I will think about this for solve it and take a look if we need add and if-else conditional statement for slepc like openfoam. Is alad-edu/petsc the same for aur/petsc, looks like more to an updated petsc-complex from petronny. It is ok, slepc must be supporting both versions (real and complex valued scalars).

Thanks, I can clone the repository now. Unfortunately 3.17.1 results in a build failure:

Hi Alad, one month ago I experimented the same message with this repository when switch to tag v1.1.0. Thanks for reporting, I solved with this help.

I have some strange behavior when cloning this repostitory:

$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/slepc.git

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

  git switch -c <new-branch-name>

Or undo this operation with:

  git switch -

Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false

It appears the master branch does not have the 3.17.0 commit:

git checkout master
Warning: you are leaving 1 commit behind, not connected to
any of your branches:

  db40240 Bump version to 3.17.0

If you want to keep it by creating a new branch, this may be a good time
to do so with:

 git branch <new-branch-name> db40240

branch 'master' set up to track 'origin/master'.
Switched to a new branch 'master'

Hi slepc users, with recently petsc upgrade, we need to a do a fix/patch in order to have slepc propertly installed. This is the log.

Thank you very much for all comments below, please continue giving feedback for us.
