I was trying to say: if the stated requirement is 'petsc-dev should always use latest moab' -then one should use: url = moab-latest.tar.gz gitcommit = HEAD Yeah - there are problems with having the above requirement. As the one you mentioned - and others [I've mentioned]. If this requirment is critical - then one should be ok with some of these issues. Satish
