Binary package “petsc-dev” in ubuntu bionic

Virtual package depending on latest PETSc development package

 PETSc is the "Portable Extensible Toolkit for Scientific Computation", a suite
 of data structures and routines for the scalable (parallel) solution of
 scientific applications modeled by partial differential equations. It employs
 the MPI standard for all message-passing communication. Several sample
 scientific applications, as well as various papers and talks, demonstrate the
 features of the PETSc libraries.

 This metapackage will always depend on the most recent version of petscX-dev
 (X=version), so if you install it then you will get upgrades automatically.
