[petsc-users] ftp.mcs.anl.gov is down - breaking petsc builds with --download-package

[Satish Balay]

We've been informed by the site admin that ftp.mcs.anl.gov is taken
down due to 'cyber incident' - there is no ETA on when it will be
back.

We've been using it the primary host for distributing petsc tarballs
and hosting some externalpackage tarballs - so some of the petsc buils
with '--download-package' option are failing.

Obtaining petsc [and some most externalpackages] via git should work.

I will update when ftp.mcs.anl.gov is brought back up.
