| M1. Support portable installation through Spack. | Full | There is a spack recipe to build deal.II M1 details |
| M2. Provide a comprehensive test suite for correctness of installation verification. | Full | Extensive testsuite for deal.II, including its interfaces to other packages M2 details |
| M3. Employ user-provided MPI communicator (no MPI_COMM_WORLD). Don't assume a full MPI 3 implementation without checking. Provide an option to prevent any changes to MPI error-handling if it is changed by default. | Full | None. |
| M4. Give best effort at portability to key architectures (standard Linux distributions, GNU, Clang, vendor compilers, and target machines at ALCF, NERSC, OLCF). | Full | None. |
| M5. Provide a documented, reliable way to contact the development team. | Full | See https://groups.google.com/g/dealii |
| M6. Respect system resources and settings made by other previously called packages (e.g. signal handling). | Full | None. |
| M7. Come with an open source (BSD style) license. | Full | deal.II uses the LGPL license. |
| M8. Provide a runtime API to return the current version number of the software. | Full | None. |
| M9. Use a limited and well-defined symbol, macro, library, and include file name space. | Full | None. |
| M10. Provide an xSDK team accessible repository (not necessarily publicly available). | Full | Public repository is at https://github.com/dealii/dealii |
| M11. Have no hardwired print or IO statements that cannot be turned off. | Full | None. |
| M12. For external dependencies, allow installing, building, and linking against an outside copy of external software. | Full | None. |
M13. Install headers and libraries under deal.II/include and deal.II/lib. |
Full | None. |
| M14. Be buildable using 64 bit pointers. 32 bit is optional. | Full | Pointers use the default width of a system ABI. |
| M15. All xSDK compatibility changes should be sustainable. | Full | None. |
| M16. Any xSDK-compatible package that compiles code should have a configuration option to build in Debug mode. | Full | None. |
