[petsc-dev] upcoming release and testing [v2]

[Satish Balay]

All,

master builds have been clean for the past 2 days [except for some timeouts]

http://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/petsc/nightlylogs/archive/2018/04/04/master.html

However next is still not clean [slightly better than previous build]

http://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/petsc/nightlylogs/archive/2018/04/05/next.html

[i.e the following branches still need fixes]
>   origin/knepley/fix-dm-gmg
>   origin/knepley/fix-ex62-tests
>   origin/knepley/fix-fe-bd-integral
>   origin/knepley/fix-fe-vector-spaces
>   origin/knepley/fix-snes-ex69
>   origin/tisaac/feature-dmfield

I have the following branches in queue for master [via next-tmp - these builds will start soon]

 origin/balay/update-petsc4py-pre-39
 origin/dalcinl/mat-getset-ops
 origin/jczhang/fix-vecscatter-msg-logging

If next-tmp is clean - I can spin the release tarball later today [after merging them to master]

Or if there are other branches [that are clean] - that should go into
release - let me know.  We'll either have to wait one more day [for
these branches to go through next/next-tmp - or I can schedule another
next-tmp build later today (with additional branches) - if they are
ready by 3:30pm CST]

If I do not hear back about additional branches, and next-tmp is clean
- will spin the release tarball later today.

Thanks,
Satish
