The patch works for the petsc port, but does not apply cleanly to the petsc-devel subport. We could fix the patch by making the portfile use a different patchfile for petsc and petsc-devel.

However, petsc-devel is at a commit dated 2016-09-28, which is much older than the petsc port's version (which in turn is also outdated). Is there a reason why we need to keep the petsc-devel subport anymore? I suggest marking petsc-devel replaced_by petsc.

In 2f6a601853977ec4c806bcbe15cc11b6d224fd78/macports-ports (master):

petsc-devel: mark obsolete, replace with petsc

It was suggested that petsc-devel be obsoleted in favor of petsc
which is less outdated.

Closing since petsc-devel ​no longer exists.
