The PKGBUILD implicitely assumes that the trilinos package defines TRILINOS_DIR. I can't find a reference to this variable outside of what deal-ii supports, so I didn't set it in the [community] package for trilinos.

I guess it doesn't matter (i.e. -DTRILINOS_DIR is not required) since everything is installed to standard locations /usr/include anyway.

Regarding the "build time optdepends": Arch generally builds packages with all features enabled. I guess there's some problematic when half of the possible dependencies are in AUR, but I'm looking into remedying that.

I have now updated the PKGBUILD for the most recent bugfix release (9.0.1). This fixes a small number of minor library bugs and also fixes compatibility with PETSc 3.10.

The SHA1sum is wrong in this package.

==> Validating source files with sha1sums...

    dealii-9.0.0.tar.gz ... FAILED

==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!

EDIT: Nevermind, my git repo was not clean. Everything seems OK.

There were a few issues with the initial release and (forgive us) we uploaded two new ones over the weekend without changing the patch number that fixed the problems. The issues were with the make check function and not the library itself.

I am happy to say that, as of last night, 9.0.0 has been released! I have updated the PKGBUILD. Please post if something does not work.

@drwells - I suppose that kind of optional package detection should be done in the build system of deal.II and not in the PKGBUILD. Anyways, it seems good enough for me if there is no other way to build the package. Additionally, you can always ask in AUR mailing list, AUR forum or IRC channel for help. I'm sure you'll get some good tips from expert people about these questions.

@chuckdaniels Thank you for the feedback. I don't have much experience posting my PKGBUILD files to the AUR and I really do appreciate the criticism :) I edited my comments in the PKGBUILD according to your comments. I got rid of as many pacman checks as I could and instead I now rely on environment variables. The MPI detection is not so nice and is arguably a bug in our own build scripts: I opened an issue for it in the deal.II bug tracker (https://github.com/dealii/dealii/issues/4331) Do you have a recommendation for how to check for user installed software? I tried to write the PKGBUILD file to be as agnostic to that as possible, but I don't really know how to handle such things. I disabled make test for now.

I'm having problems to install AUR package. 'deal-ii' seems to compile just right but at the final step some quick-tests are ran and they fail. I've commented out 'make test' in check() function on PKGBUILD and fixes this issue.

First, good job updating and completing PKGBUILD. I've got several questions/points: * You detect if some optional libraries are on the system using: 'if pacman -Qs PKG >/dev/null'. This will ignore them if you manually install any of these libraries since you rely on 'pacman' database. I'm not saying that this is plain wrong but certainly presents some limitations. You are forced to install those packages from AUR to work. I'll definitely install those packages using AUR way, just want it to point it out. * Some comments are really useful but others seems to be just information that should not be on a PKGBUILD and in general very extense. For example, you describe how makepkg.conf and its options works and show examples of how to set a flag in CMake. I this this clutters the PKGBUILD and simply it is not the place to put it on. You can create a new page on the Wiki for deal.II or invite to find more documentation on the deal.II website. That is just my two cents. Great work with this library and this package.

Hello everyone, After some discussion with @coincoin I am now listed as a comaintainer. For those of you who do not know me: I am one of the developers of deal.II and I also use Arch Linux. I uploaded a new PKGBUILD for version 8.5: we should now correctly capture all optional dependencies. Let me know what you think, and post if something does not work: I am familiar enough with the build system of deal.II that I should be able to fix any hiccups. Thanks, David Wells
