[petsc-dev] Fwd: [petsc-maint #149715] Making a PetSc Roll and Rocks Module

[Barry Smith]

  Satish,

   It looks like the module name should simply be PETSC_VERSION

    Could you please make this change? (modules don't make much sense for people self-installs with PETSC_ARCH anyways so no reason to attach PETSC_ARCH to name)

    Then the installer person moves the module file (and changes the name if they like) after installing.

    Also, check what is inside a PETSc module file at Nersc to make sure we are capturing everything we should capture.

   Thanks

    Barry
