Yup, scotch doesn't seem to be in CBR either.
Doesn't even seem to be a metis library anymore either. This all seems
to be a bit odd - how do people manage domain decomposition without
metis, or scotch (and ptscotch)? Or is it expected that we should be
rolling this thirdparty software into our own builds?
Not bellyaching, just don't understand the roadmap here.
To answer the first question about 'domain decomposition'.. I don't think it is something that 'most' or 'many' customers deal with. The fact that the software was only in 'Code Ready Builder' in EL8 means that it came with 'low' update/support mainly because it had been a build requirement of some other software in BaseOS or Appstream. The fact that it isn't in EL9 says that build requirement no longer exists and so the package was not needed to be built at all.
In that case, the usual method is 'build it yourself' or 'work with others to build it in a 3rd party repository' like EPEL or similar ones. The reasons for software not being in future RHEL is usually a split thing.. There are customers who want a specific version in RHEL and there are customers who do not unless because it is not the version they wanted. That usually makes the choice toward not including something because then no one is equally unhappy.
