ftp.mcs.anl.gov is now back online [serving ftp:// - http:// is not yet enabled]
petsc configure builds with --download-package option should now work. For direct tarball download - switching the URL from http://ftp.mcs.anl.gov to ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov notation is the temporary workaround. For eg: change: http://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/petsc/release-snapshots/petsc-3.8.4.tar.gz to: ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/petsc/release-snapshots/petsc-3.8.4.tar.gz Satish On Thu, 29 Mar 2018, Satish Balay wrote: > > We've been informed by the site admin that ftp.mcs.anl.gov is taken > down due to 'cyber incident' - there is no ETA on when it will be > back. > > We've been using it the primary host for distributing petsc tarballs > and hosting some externalpackage tarballs - so some of the petsc buils > with '--download-package' option are failing. > > Obtaining petsc [and some most externalpackages] via git should work. > > I will update when ftp.mcs.anl.gov is brought back up. > > Satish > >
