At the end of configure.log, there are two possible ways to build petsc-dev that are specified. Which is the recommended way to build - using make or using python? I have been using make.

Also, one is labeled as legacy and one is labeled as experimental. That gives the impression of having a choice between an old, archaic method or a new, experimental approach. Should one just be labeled as production?

Thanks,
