Jean-Francois: As-tu du faire des modifs dans Metis? Sinon, on pourrait aussi simplement linker avec Metis en externe. Si oui, ou si tu trouves que c'est bien d'avoir Metis directement dans nos sources, il faut que tu envoies un mail a Karypis pour demander son autorisation concernant l'inclusion. Voici un example tire de libmesh:

Benjamin,
Yes you can as long as you provide proper references and Metis's
original code and documentation.

Attention : si Karypis n'est pas d'accord pour une utilsation commerciale (il faut lui demander aussi), il faudra qu'on ajoute Metis a la liste des trucs a effacer dans le "make commercial".
