Fixed. I have some questions on this issue though. Probably I don't understand the way this dependency works... It's not strictly needed for scotch's functionality unless you define -DCOMMON_FILE_COMPRESS_BZ2. So that's why I included it as optional. However, if it's not there during build time, it doesn't build (-lbz2 linking flag). That's why I included it as makedepends. And now you are telling me that even during runtime its absence causes problems... How? I mean... we are using a library that has a few extra symbols defined. That's ok as long as we don't make calls to functions that use these symbols. In that case we would be required to have bzip2 installed. I'm probably missing something

@eleftg: after some tests it seems that you can't use scotch if you do not have bzip2 installed, so it should not be an optional dependency.

Updated. -- Removed scotch_esmumps5 from provides -- Removed -DSCOTCH_PTHREAD right before building the MPI versions

@eleftg: * yes, you should keep ptscotch-openmpi until the depends arrays of the other package are updateed, * according to http://mumps.enseeiht.fr/index.php?page=faq#20, mumps could depend on scotch v6.0.1, and the mumps package should be update to depend to this new version of scotch, * you should ask for merge request rather than deletion in order to keep comments and votes, * for bzip2 I do not have any idea on that, maybe a more experienced user ofo scotch could answer.

@ eolianoe: Thank you very much. I (almost) entirely adopted your PKGBUILD :-) "Almost" because: -- indeed, ptscotch-mpich2 is not provided. But... -- ptscotch-openmpi is provided (since it's ptscotch built with openmpi :-) ). And if i remove it from provides=() i'm forced to uninstall openfoam. -- scotch_esmumps5 is indeed NOT provided but if i remove it, i'm forced to uninstall mumps. -- both mumps and openfoam build perfectly fine with this new version of scotch. So it can be considered as a drop-in replacement for the other *scotch* versions. -- Meanwhile I filed requests of deletion for all other scotch packages as advised in https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2015-February/030301.html -- also enabled an optional dependency: bzip2 (which unfortunately will also constitute a make dependency for scotch and any project depending on it, however i tried both openfoam and mumps by adding -lbz2 and they built fine). I would appreciate your feedback on the above issues.

I've orphaned https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/scotch_esmumps in case anyone here is interested in maintaining it

eolianoe commented on 2015-02-15 19:16 (UTC)

@eleftg: you should not provide ptscotch-mpich2, ptscotch-openmpi, and scotch_esmumps5 as there are different "projects" the first are built with different MPI and the last is a legacy version, but they should stay in the conflicts array. You should rather provide scotch, ptscotch, and scotch-esmumps as this is that your package really provides. Here is a proposal for an update PKGBUILD (which use 'make install'): http://pastebin.com/hBPqEVJ8

Well... yes, sure. Why not?

I can rename gpart to something like gpart-scotch. What do you think about this?
