Description: PARMETIS is an MPI-based parallel library that implements a variety of algorithms for partitioning and repartitioning unstructured graphs and for computing fill-reducing orderings of sparse matrices. PARMETIS is particularly suited for parallel numerical simulations involving large unstructured meshes. In this type of computation, PARMETIS dramati- cally reduces the time spent in communication by computing mesh decompositions such that the numbers of interface elements are minimized. The algorithms in PARMETIS are based on the multilevel partitioning and fill-reducing ordering algorithms that are implemented in the widely-used serial package METIS. However, PARMETIS extends the functionality provided by METIS and includes routines that are especially suited for parallel computations and large-scale numerical simulations. In particular, PARMETIS provides the following functionality:
• Partition unstructured graphs and meshes. • Repartition graphs that correspond to adaptively refined meshes. • Partition graphs for multi-phase and multi-physics simulations. • Improve the quality of existing partitionings. • Compute fill-reducing orderings for sparse direct factorization. • Construct the dual graphs of meshes

Notes. - This package is for EPEL6/7 and Fedora.
- Althought ParMetis provides Metis source, it has been patched to use the 'metis' library already packaged on Fedora.
- In this package I tried to compile ParMetis with 64-bit integers (against Metis64), however I can't complete all related tests which look exhaust all memory. Needs investigation.

--- Comment #1 from Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek zbyszek@in.waw.pl --- %description should be wrapped to 80 columns.
Suggestion: %global _description \ PARMETIS is ... \ ...
%description %_description
%description openmpi %_description
(This form gets the spacing right.)
Likewise for the cmake flags, please define a macro for the common stuff. This will make it easier to see what flags are different between the four compilations.
Group can be dropped (not required for EPEL6+ or Fedora).
Looks good. I'm building it now, and will continue the review when that's done.

I considered valid like that of Metis. My bad. Maybe we can talk about with upstream.
