Re: [Libmesh-devel] OpenHPC

[Julian A. <ju...@tf...>]

Isn't libmesh a component which is heavily dependent on the users
needs? So a "one size fits all" RPM is a bit off.

In my opinion extending something like [1] (to support more options)
would be more appropriate. With Spack you can choose whatever
compiler/MPI/PETSc/Trilinos version or version combination YOU want to
have.
