[GRASS-PSC] difficult to get GRASS source code package

[Nicklas Larsson]

Michael,


You can reach the tar-ball at Github release page [1], or directly from [2] or [3].

Alternatively, you can checkout a tagged release in a git repo with:

"git checkout 8.0.0"

Cheers,
Nicklas

I stand corrected. I am not sure that I have the current 8.0 stable release. Cloning gives me the main repository, not 8.0.0 stable. I can check out a branch but need to make sure that I've got the stable release 8.0.0. The reason is that I'm trying to package this in sync with other platforms. It looks like the 8.0.0 branch was updated recently. So it is not the fixed stable release of 17 days ago.

This is fine for people who want dev versions. But I would think that some people just want the package. I eventually cloned one from GitHub, but even there, it is not transparent how to get the stable release vs. an updated version. Even on GitHub, the clone/download button seemed to be missing.
