[Dune-devel] ALUGrid

[Dedner, Andreas]

Hi Markus.
Thanks for testing.

We will make a release branch quite soon. At the moment the master works with both the master and release of dune core and we wanted to see if there was any feedback or reports on problem with the new model before tagging or branching for a release.

We are still discussing the tar vall issue.

Best
Andreas

Hi,

I did forget this the last time:

Congratulions to the release and thanks for all the continued effort
you guys put into ALUGrid.

I am currently testing the new versions and there are quite a few
questions popping up during this. I will just ask them here whenever
they popup.

You are saying on the website: "There won't be any tar balls."
While this is of course your own choice, it is rather unusual and
might hinder general acceptance. E.g. there are distributions, like
Debian, that always base their packages on the official release
tarballs. Not having them might pose a problem. Maybe Ansgar can
enlighten us about this.

Anyway, not having tarballs und using autotools demands users to
install the full autotools toolchain which might be a problem for some
people.

Your development model seems to be to have a stable master branch and
develop in other branches. What I am missing is a way to checkout the
release as there is no release branch (not really needed) and you do
not use tags to identify the release. The latter seems mandatory to me
(even more if there are no tarballs available).

Could you please use "git tag [-s] v2.3" to mark your release. That way
users will be able to checkout this release even in the future. If you
did this, then the tags might need to get pushed "git push origin
v2.3".

Thanks a lot!

Cheers,

Markus
