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

[Satish Balay]

Sorry - this won't work - as p4est appears to require git [submodules?]..

>>>>>>>>>>>> p4est.py <<<<<<<<<<<<<
  def updateGitDir(self):
    config.package.GNUPackage.updateGitDir(self)
    Dir = self.getDir()
    try:
      libsc = self.libsc
    except AttributeError:
      try:
        self.executeShellCommand([self.sourceControl.git, 'submodule', 'update', '--init'], cwd=Dir, log=self.log)
        import os
        if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(Dir,'sc','README')):
          self.libsc = os.path.join(Dir,'sc')
        else:
          raise RuntimeError
      except RuntimeError:
        raise RuntimeError('Could not initialize sc submodule needed by p4est')
    return
