Arch Linux PETSc complex scalar's conclusions

triangle

In order to use triangle mesh generator, the user could face this follow situations:

triangle was installed ... compilation	feature triangle for petsc-complex status	petsc-complex status
before (automagicdepends)	✅	✅
between (makedepends)	❌	✅
after (optdepends)	❌	✅

Therefore, triangle is a makedepends and an optdepends, but not an automagicdepends.

hdf5-openmpi

In order to use hdf5-openmpi file format, the user could face this follow situations:

hdf5-openmpi was installed ... compilation	feature hdf5-openmpi for petsc-complex status	petsc-complex status
before (automagicdepends)		✅
between (makedepends)		✅
after (optdepends)		✅

p4est-deal-ii

In order to use p4est-deal-ii for manage forest of octrees, the user could face this follow situations:

p4est-deal-ii was installed ... compilation	feature p4est-deal-ii for petsc-complex status	petsc-complex status
before (automagicdepends)		✅
between (makedepends)		✅
after (optdepends)		✅

Side note:

• optdepends means that petsc-complex is working fine, but if user requires a foo-package feature only must install it after installation (e.g. python bindings).
• makedepends means that petsc-complex is working fine and the foo-package is no longer required anymore (e.g. cmake)
• automagicdepends (e.g. openmpi).
