Review: petsc 3.25.0+dfsg1-1~exp2
Package Information
| Description | Virtual package depending on latest PETSc development package PETSc is the "Portable Extensible Toolkit for Scientific Computation", a suite of data structures and routines for the scalable (parallel) solution of scientific applications modeled by partial differential equations. It employs the MPI standard for all message-passing communication. Several sample scientific applications, as well as various papers and talks, demonstrate the features of the PETSc libraries. This metapackage installs libpetsc-real-dev, which will always depend on the most recent version of PETSc with real number support. So if you install it then you will get upgrades automatically. |

Changelog
petsc (3.25.0+dfsg1-1~exp2) experimental; urgency=medium
.
* Drop link to 2026 meeting to avoid privacy breach warnings
* Extend script-not-executable lintian override for libpetsc3.25-dev-examples
to include new shell script related to tests.
- Drop former matches to
usr/share/petsc/*/share/petsc/examples/src/*/tests/scripts/*
since there seem to be no matches in this version, possibly
due to upstream having reorganized the scripts.
* Add image-file-has-unexpected-name override to libpetsc3.25-dev-examples,
to avoid false positives for .c files that lintian incorrectly thinks are
image files.
* Use explicitly set -e in prerm and postinst scripts to avoid lintian
pedantic message maintainer-script-without-set-e.
* Update lintian tags
ldconfig-symlink-missing-for-shlib > lacks-versioned-link-to-shared-library
breakout-link > ldconfig-escape
in overrides.
* Add lintian overrides for false positive on repeated-path-segment, which
happens because of how the directories are organized upstream.
* Override dh_strip by passing --no-automatic-dbgsym. There is no point in
generating the dbsym packages, since they are basically empty currently.
The actual debug packages have dbg suffix.
* Silence package-has-unnecessary-activation-of-ldconfig-trigger because
the -dbg packages contain a separate installation of PETSc, which has been
rebuilt with debug symbols enabled
* Update d/copyright with several new files.
* Strip trailing whitespaces from d/changelog and d/rules
* Drop redundant Priority field from d/control
* Add debian/upstream/metadata
* Also clean core.* files that may get produced when running tests.dsc

Comment:
Upstream doesn't specify which version of OFL
instead simply links to OFL page.
Hence latest version of OFL is considered.

PREAMBLE
.
The goals of the Open Font License (OFL) are
to stimulate worldwide development of collaborative font projects,

does not apply to any document created
using the fonts or their derivatives.
