Hi, One thing I think is missing on our web page is a collection of good installation recipes and, possibly, other FEniCS-related recipes.
We do have good binary packages, but instructions for building from source could be better. Here are some issues I think we need to solve: 1. How do we want to continue to support Dorsal? Is anyone actively maintaining it? Should it be the officially supported way to install FEniCS from source on all platforms, including Mac? 2. The installation instructions on the web page are very static and difficult to keep up-to-date, since it requires making a pull request for the website Sphinx code, getting someone to apply the pull request etc. 3. Is there a good alternative in the form of a collection of "FEniCS recipes", to which anyone can contribute (perhaps wiki style), ideally also in combination with some voting mechanism (thumbs up = works for me) so that we may organically keep track of, say, the best way of the day to build FEniCS on OS X. Ideally, we would host this on fenicsproject.org, but perhaps there are already existing web services that could be used? 4. Could those installation recipes be made scriptable? And then how would this be different from Dorsal? I like Dorsal, but it seems not everyone is on board with using Dorsal as the main/official way of FEniCS installation. -- Anders _______________________________________________ fenics mailing list [email protected] http://fenicsproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fenics
