Hello all,
Which would mean git would need to be installed wherever you compile Cactus. We cannot assume that, and I don't really want to build git first.
The ExternalLibraries are ET not Cactus, right? We already agreed that the ET will transition to git (and in the process apparently also transition Cactus* to git). So we already require git to be present I think.
I am also not aware of a machine that is in eg simfactory's mdb that does not contain (some) version of git.
Finally I think rather than checking out a repository of tarballs I'd try and use eg bitbuckets' option to access a git repository via http(s) to download only the single tarball of interest (or even have a svn repository just for the tarballs or download the tarballs from the developer site [assuming that most projects for which we'd need tarballs are longer lived than the ET]). Possibly a --shallow git repository for the tarball can also be used (though that still keeps history on the local disk when one updates).
Yours, Roland
