@mperego : I have added this option. You can turn it on by building Albany with the +mesh_depends_on_params flag. It is off by default.

Let me know if you're interested in other options like MESH_DEPENDS_ON_SOLUTION.

[mperego]

Thanks @ikalash! This is good. We actually removed the option MESH_DEPENDS_ON_SOLUTION.

Ah OK. Here are instructions for building Albany with spack, if you wanted to share them: https://github.com/sandialabs/Albany/wiki/Building-Albany-using-Spack . You'd have to add the new option as one of the + when building the code.

Thanks! Is the cxx17 option still needed? Now that should be automatically set by Trilinos.

[ikalash]

Yes that option is gone. I will remove it from the documentation.
