Suggestions for Gmsh port

Port: gmsh

Description

I just discovered that Gmsh was available in MacPorts: this is great!

Could I suggest the following changes to the configuration when you upgrade to Gmsh 4.2.0, which we just released?

  • remove the MPI dependency: MPI support is useless for regular users (it's only used internally for specific research projects)
  • remove the PETSc and SLEPc dependencies: these are not necessary anymore, and the official Gmsh 4.2.0 release builds have also removed them
  • if possible, enable OpenMP: meshing algorithms are now parallelized, and enabling OpenMP will benefit most users

Cheers,

Christophe

gmsh: update version 4.1.5->4.2.2; add PETSc variant

Support for PETSc linear solvers and SLEPc eigensolvers are no longer
the default, so make them a (non-default) variant.

Fixes #58178

Thank you for the suggestions.
I did not remove MPI support because it is just a non-default variant.
To use, a user would have to specifically request it.
Similarly, support for SLEPc and PETSc is a non-default variant.

Please feel free to comment further if I have not addressed all of your concerns.
