[petsc-dev] download problem p4est on Cori at NERSC

[Satish Balay]

batch won't help here. its git vs tarball - and p4est curently doesn't have a taball.

The following should give you a tarball - if you don't have git.

diff --git a/config/BuildSystem/config/packages/p4est.py b/config/BuildSystem/config/packages/p4est.py

I  can push this to master.
