Hi Team, >From PETSc-3.15.x, we started to use scotch-v6.1.0. We always take advantage of the "--download" capability to manage external packages for MOOSE. Recently, we hit something like this frequently:
============================================================================================= Trying to download git:// https://gitlab.inria.fr/scotch/scotch.git for PTSCOTCH ============================================================================================= ============================================================================================= Trying to download git:// https://gitlab.inria.fr/scotch/scotch.git for PTSCOTCH ============================================================================================= ============================================================================================= Trying to download git:// https://gitlab.inria.fr/scotch/scotch.git for PTSCOTCH ============================================================================================= ============================================================================================= Trying to download https://gitlab.inria.fr/scotch/scotch/-/archive/v6.1.0/scotch-v6.1.0.tar.gz for PTSCOTCH ============================================================================================= ============================================================================================= Trying to download http://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/petsc/externalpackages/scotch-v6.1.0.tar.gz for PTSCOTCH ============================================================================================= ============================================================================================= Trying to download ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/petsc/externalpackages/scotch-v6.1.0.tar.gz for PTSCOTCH ============================================================================================= ============================================================================================= Trying to download https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/mirror/externalpackages/scotch-v6.1.0.tar.gz for PTSCOTCH ============================================================================================= ******************************************************************************* UNABLE to CONFIGURE with GIVEN OPTIONS (see configure.log for details): ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would not be surprised when we could not download PTSCOTCH from upstream websites in France. But it seemed that we could not even download scotch from ANL mirrors either. I navigated through the ANL mirrors ( https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/mirror/externalpackages and ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/petsc/externalpackages). I found we did not have scotch-v6.1.0.tar.gz yet. Could you please upload scotch-v6.1.0.tar.gz to mirror sites? Thanks so much! Fande
