[petsc-users] Suggestion: Support optional extras for Firedrake (or other python package) when installed via PETSc

[Zongze Yang]

Thank you. I recommend including these packages: [check, netgen, slepc]. Since VTK does not have an ARM Linux package, it may not be suitable to include.

Best wishes,
Zongze

  Yes, what specific ones are portable and fairly commonly needed? I would like a default installation to include everything a user would need. So let me know the list and I will add them.

Hi all,

As PETSc can install Firedrake along with it, would it be possible to support optional extras for Firedrake—such as [vtk], [netgen]—during the installation?

Is this something that could be considered?

Best regards,
Zongze
