Hi,
When trying to compile visit with Silo, I found that the source code of
Silo from Debian differs from the upstream one, taken here:
https://wci.llnl.gov/simulation/computer-codes/silo/releases
In particuliar, src/silo/silo.c does not have the function
DBSetDataReadMask2, which is there upstream. This prevent visit to be
compiled with silo.
I am using the same version (4.10.2) in both cases.
If it's intentional, there should at least be a notice into the debian
package explaining why the source code is modified into README.source
for instance.
If it's not intentional, it may be a security problem, because who knows
what else is modified ?
Kind regards,
Adrien
