I think we're closer than that, we've been active for the past couple of
weeks to make this happen. The only unknown at this point is feel++.
Stuff to do looks like:
* Upload a new petsc to fix some bugs (me, probably today)
* Upload a new slepc with a tiny patch to add a header file (me,
probably today)
* Upload mpich2 from alioth to fix an RC bug (me, today or
tomorrow)
* Update to deal.II 7.1.0 (me, within a week)
* Patch gmsh to work with petsc/slepc 3.2 (Christophe Trophime
with my help, probably within a week)
* Update DOLFIN (Johannes Ring, within a week)
* Test/update feel++ (?? If nobody else I'll take a stab at it)
* Remove illuminator from testing (release team)
* Close the RC bug against mpi-defaults (which is pointless anyway
because it transitioned just before I filed it, I'll do this
today)
It looks like there's a clear path to success, and this can all happen
within a week or two, then we can transition a bunch of stuff at once
including HDF5. Otherwise we're stuck trying to do two transitions
which will take at least 4 weeks...
Makes sense?
