[petsc-users] Elemental support is outdated?

[Denis Davydov]

Dear developers,

I just tried compiling PETSc with Elemental 0.87.7 and got compiler errors (see below) which suggests that the interface in PETSc is outdated.
Looking at the “elemental.py” https://bitbucket.org/petsc/petsc/src/90564b43f6b05485163c147b464b5d6d28cde3ef/config/BuildSystem/config/packages/elemental.py?at=hongzh%2Fswe&fileviewer=file-view-default <https://bitbucket.org/petsc/petsc/src/90564b43f6b05485163c147b464b5d6d28cde3ef/config/BuildSystem/config/packages/elemental.py?at=hongzh/swe&fileviewer=file-view-default> 
I see that the suggested Elemental's commit is from Nov 2015 https://github.com/elemental/Elemental/commit/e81005dc3af9b331d43e16e4d221e889378e2c49 <https://github.com/elemental/Elemental/commit/e81005dc3af9b331d43e16e4d221e889378e2c49> 
whereas 0.87.7 is from Feb. 2017; There are 8 releases in between.

Regards,
Denis.
