Package: petsc-dev (3.15.5+dfsg1-1build2)

Virtual package depending on latest PETSc development package

PETSc is the "Portable Extensible Toolkit for Scientific Computation", a suite of data structures and routines for the scalable (parallel) solution of scientific applications modeled by partial differential equations. It employs the MPI standard for all message-passing communication. Several sample scientific applications, as well as various papers and talks, demonstrate the features of the PETSc libraries.

This metapackage installs libpetsc-real-dev, which will always depend on the most recent version of PETSc with real number support. So if you install it then you will get upgrades automatically.
