developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
METIS is a family of programs for partitioning unstructured graphs and
hypergraphs and computing fill-reducing orderings of sparse matrices.
The underlying algorithms used by METIS are based on the
state-of-the-art multilevel paradigm that has been shown to produce
high quality results and scale to very large problems. It is
available both as a set of stand-alone programs and as a library.
