For one - if we have to manitain patches - we do them in a repo - for eg:<br>
at <a href="http://petsc.cs.iit.edu/petsc/externalpackages/hdf5-1.8.4/" target="_blank">http://petsc.cs.iit.edu/petsc/externalpackages/hdf5-1.8.4/</a> [and spin<br>

If 1.8.8 works without patches - then we could upgrade to that..</blockquote><div><br></div><div>If it works, I will not argue. However, if it fails on my machine, I do not</div><div>want to change.</div><div><br></div>
