If I have 15 packages to install, this method would be easy. Once I copied
this folder to the new machine, do I use
--with-pastix-dir=$PETSC_ARCH/externalpackages/pastix_5.2  or
--download-pastix=$PETSC_ARCH/externalpackages/pastix_5.2? The first may
fail due to the different libraries installed on that machine. For the
second one, can --download-pastix take the directory path instead of the
tarball file?

Thanks.
