Apologies:
On Monday I spent >2 hours trying to make a Zenodo release for someone. I don't understand the GitHub API tool and it is throwing incomprehensible 404 errors. I would dearly love to not have to do this.
Can we drop firedrake-zenodo? We could replace it with a guide on our website about providing provenance for their software. Josh and I think that citing pip freeze and PETSc's configure.log might be sufficient.
- won't be citations if we do this. Github is not an archive, Zenodo is
- Encourage people to do research with Firedrake releases?
- takes a long time for some stuff to be merged.
- Doing this used to be easier, try to fix the regression
https://github.com/firedrakeproject/firedrake/pull/4913
We need to disable it for CI, but do we want to more generally?
- Compiler (only runs on rank 0) was crashing, causes all other ranks to deadlock
- Only happened on CI runners
- Fix was to turn off fast math for GCC. Do we turn this off for other compilers (clang, etc.)? Or only turn it off on the CI runners?
- Only turn it off on the CI runners. See if anyone complains about compiler crashes.
Review draft PR: https://github.com/firedrakeproject/fiat/pull/230
- DH: this introduces a GEM dependency into FIAT
- We are okay with this. It avoids us having to produce wrapper classes in finat. GEM is a pure python package inside the same git repository.
- Get review from Rob Kirby
