Dear Yi-Chung,

Thanks for the information, but this is done by design (so there is no 
problem). 

At the time of the release of deal.II 8.5.0, the content linked to on  
http://www.dealii.org/8.5.0/external-libs/petsc.html 
<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dealii.org%2F8.5.0%2Fexternal-libs%2Fpetsc.html&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNElZxSZf3ZFbZ8o_u-niL_LFn8V-A>
would have been the most recent release that deal.II was certified to work 
with. If, in the months that have passed since the release of that version, 
a new version of PETSc (or any other 3rd party libraries) then we test it, 
patch the developer version of deal.II if necessary, and update the 
information on the developer site, in this case being
https://www.dealii.org/developer/external-libs/petsc.html
for PETSc. At the time of the next release, we take a snapshot of the 
information on the developer site and it becomes "frozen" for that release.

Does that make sense?

Kind regards,
Jean-Paul
