Port for SUNDIALS solvers

[dershow]

SUNDIALS (SUite of Nonlinear and DIfferential/ALgebraic equation Solvers) is a series of solvers released by Lawrence Livermore National Labs. Details are available here: ​http://computation.llnl.gov/casc/sundials/main.html

I downloaded the suite of five solvers and ran ./configure F77=/opt/local/bin/g95

make and they seemed to build just fine. But, I am not sure how to create a port file because the download of sundials-2.5.0.tar.gz required entering an email address and name. So, I believe it would be necessary to host a mirror on macports. The code is released under a BSD license.

Check how geoexpress-sdk​ does it

It looks like this code is opensource, and released under BSD. The ​agreement allows redistribution of the source code. So, I would think that it is possible to put a mirror on macports. But, for now, I will see about building a port file, as you suggested.

There is no problem downloading the file in a Portfile directly as ​tarball. #35342 also already contains a Portfile, which apparently has some problems to resolve.

I’m going to close this as a duplicate. Adam, if you could use #35342 to communicate further progress on development of the port, that would be great.
