Upstream released parmetis-4.0.3 and metis-5.1.0 this spring, without applying the patches to fix critical bugs like this: https://bitbucket.org/petsc/pkg-parmetis/commits/1c1a9fd0f408dc4d42c57f5c3ee6ace411eb222b However, we should still upgrade our versions of the packages. Satish, would you like me to convert the metis repository and upload it?
