Here's the clarification(quoting): " Hi Ankur Metis is used as the main strategy for mesh partitioning i.e. its relevant only for parallel computations. We have a historical OK from Metis developers to distribute it with Elmer. However, I understand that this does not make Metis free software. There is an alternative package, Scotch [1], which to my understanding provides similar functionality. It is used in the Debian build of Elmer. We should try to invest some time to test these packages and use perhaps it instead of Metis. As a quick solution I think that building ElmerGrid without Metis is OK. Just change the #define PARTMETIS in femelmer.h to zero and there is some alternative text printed in case Metis is called. Best regards, Peter [1] http://www.labri.fr/perso/pelegrin/scotch/ " I'm going to go look at scotch. This one's a CANTFIX :/ Thanks all for the inputs :) Regards, Ankur -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
