Well the parmetis tarball [used by petsc] appears to have quiet a few<br>
custom patches. Matt would have to go through some of that stuff to<br>
see if they need to be migrated to ParMetis-3.1.0 or not.<br>
<br>
Also - at some point I redid the parmetis build makefiles to make it<br>
easy for petsc configure to build parmetis. We have to go throught<br>
that part aswell [and see if its still necessary] before we can<br>
migrate --download-parmetis to this new version.<br>
<br>
So - lot of patches to check. [so I punted it earler when I visited<br>
this issue].<br>
