    The original distribution of METIS can be found at
      http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~karypis/metis/index.html


    This is onmetis binary (renamed onmetis.exe) which is called by Code_Aster
    through the onmetis shell-script. pmetis and kmetis are called directly.
    The onmetis script, pmetis and kmetis executables have to be copied (or make a
    symbolic link to) into Code_Aster tools directory (generally it looks like
    .../aster/outils).

Greetings,

I've made a little error, the package involved is not ParMETIS but METIS,
and its derivated work made by EDF, METIS-EDF.

So, the question is:

Do you approve of the posting of METIS source and binary packages on the
800+ Debian mirror servers around the world, as a means of delivery to our
users?

Sorry for asking you twice, and thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,
Andrea Palazzi
