[bug#72877] [PATCH 0/8] Upgrade PETSc, SLEPc, SUNDIALS, and DealII

["Ludovic Courtès" <ludo@gnu.org>]

Hello Guix!

The impetus for this patch series is that PETSc fails to build on
‘core-updates’ (soon to be merged) and it’s pretty critical in
applied maths and HPC:

(From <https://ci.guix.gnu.org/log/4pncdcw7lmls9fi0978fabypv7ili7wb-petsc-3.16.1>.)

Ironically I tested this on top of today’s ‘master’ but I’m hopeful that it’ll
work on ‘core-updates’ (because of this, I think we should get this series
merged shortly once ‘core-updates’ is merged).

I rebuilt all dependents, but ‘fenics’ and its dependents remain broken:
fenics, python-vedo, and python-dolfin-adjoint.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
