If there is going to be a new point release, then I'd like to also propose that we regenerate all Kranc-based thorns with the release version of Kranc, as suggested in [https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1365].
Version control system:
- suggestion to move code repositories (excepting ExternalLibraries)
from svn to git ** git offers better GUIs ** git offers easier branch management (eg one can create a branch and refer to it in a ticket) ** git offers better merge handling ** git keeps full history which might be large in case of frequent changes to large files (eg test data)
- will send an email with intention to change to mailing lists
- nothing will happen in the next month due to travel and CCT moving
buildings
It may have already been mentioned on the call, but Ian Hinder and I have a system in place to provide git mirrors of all components of the ET (including ExternalLibraries). This is currently available at http://git.barrywardell.net/ for anyone who wants to try it out. For example, to get the latest release version of the Einstein Toolkit you could use the following:
git clone --recursive --branch ET_2013_05 git://git.barrywardell.net/EinsteinToolkit
I would be happy to offer my help in adapting this system for use in a more 'official' location.
