BTW: externalpackages/package/PETSC_ARCH is more like a default prefix for the package. Ideally if the package supported prefix - we would use it and put the stuff directly in PETSC_DIR/PETSC_ARCH - and externalpackages/package/PETSC_ARCH won't have any stuff in it.
Ah, ok, that makes sense now.
Perhaps some package.py files are doing things manually and using externalpackages/package/PETSC_ARCH as temporary location - and later coping things over to PETSC_DIR/PETSC_ARCH - and not cleaning things up. [in externalpackages/package/PETSC_ARCH].
Right, but what should we do about it? It could potentially cause a bunch of headaches.
