Hello all,
|
|
|
|
In a move that has been a long time coming, we would like to announce
|
|
the transition from our in-house subversion repository to GitHub.
|
|
The netCDF C, Fortran, and C++ libraries will join other projects
|
|
such as THREDDS, IDV, GEMPACK, and LDM at the Unidata GitHub
|
|
repository, located at:
|
|
|
|
http://github.com/Unidata
|
|
|
|
The benefits of this transition, beyond bringing the netCDF projects
|
|
in line with other Unidata distributions, will be to improve
|
|
collaboration with other developers in our community.
|
|
|
|
For those unfamiliar with git and GitHub, no user account is required;
|
|
anonymous access is supported. You can fetch a copy of the repository
|
|
by using the 'git' command instead of the 'svn' command. For those
|
|
unfamiliar with git, GitHub hosts a series of tutorials and
|
|
screencasts which may be found here:
|
|
|
|
https://help.GitHub.com/articles/where-can-i-learn-more-about-git-and-GitHub.
|
|
|
|
There are also a number of free GUI front-ends for git, including
|
|
the GitHub GUI front-end and SourceTree for Windows and OSX. Source
|
|
releases will still be accessible from the Unidata website, as will
|
|
binary releases (currently, only binaries for Windows are generated).
|
|
|
|
The target date for this transition is one week from today; Tuesday,
|
|
August 6th. On this date the subversion repository will be frozen
|
|
during the transition; this process takes several hours in our
|
|
dry-runs. Once the transition is complete, an announcement will
|
|
be made. The subversion repository will stay around for 2 months
|
|
at least (actual EOL is TBD), but changes will not be made to it.
|
|
|
|
Thanks for your time, we look forward to our move to GitHub, and
|
|
are happy to answer any questions about this upcoming transition.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The netCDF team,
|
|
|
|
Russ, Dennis and Ward
