Hi devs, hi Rob,
I'm just helping someone in a far, far away country who is on an Ubuntu
machine, but needs the latest getinfo (with the new -a option), as well
as the most recent evalglare.
Her Radiance package seems to be very outdated, and I believe it is no
longer actively maintained in any LINUX distro [citation needed]. I
therefore thought that downloading and installing the
radiance-5.0.a.12-Linux.tar.gz archive is the quickest option for her to
get all the latest additions and bug fixes.
So I went to
https://github.com/NREL/Radiance/releases and downloaded the 5.0.a.12
tar ball, which was released 3 Oct, which would suggest that it comes
- with the latest evalglare (2 Aug 2016)
http://radiance-online.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ray/src/util/evalglare.c?view=log&pathrev=MAIN
- with the latest getinfo (30 Aug)
http://radiance-online.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ray/src/util/getinfo.c?view=log&pathrev=MAIN
It turns out that the latest file in the entire tar ball is from 27
April 2016:
find -type f -printf '%TY%Tm%Td-%TH%TM %p\n' |sort -r -n |head
20160427-2350 ./NREL_ver.txt
20160427-2350 ./lib/vchars.mta
20160427-2350 ./lib/symbols.mta
20160427-2350 ./bin/libtiff.so.5
20160427-2349 ./bin/rvu
...
and does not even contain the new fisheye_corr.cal which was added to
Radiance 30 Aug 2015
http://radiance-online.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ray/src/cal/cal/fisheye_corr.cal?view=log&pathrev=MAIN
Is there an issue with the build system for LINUX? Within the source
code Zip file on the NREL release page, all files are time stamped 3 Oct.
Thank you for looking into this
Cheers
Axel
