Notice: Changing from svn to git

After more than 20 years of using subversion as our source code control
system we have now moved to the more modern and popular git tool. Thanks to
the work of Andreas Huettel who converted the svn repo to git keeping all
the branches, tags and commits intact, we now have a git repo on sourceforge
<https://sourceforge.net/p/linux-gpib/git/ci/master/tree/>. The last commit
to the svn is r2106, all further commits will be done to the git repo only.
If there are no objections the svn repo on sourceforge will be deleted in
July 2025. A minor unfortunate side effect of the change to git is that the
commit ids are now not as easy to refer to as the svn commit ids. (svn
commit r2106 = git commit  b4cbd1387e7e...)

This change only affects users of the svn. There is no change for using the
release tar-balls.

To clone the git repo:


*git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/linux-gpib/git
<http://git.code.sf.net/p/linux-gpib/git> linux-gpib-git*

To pull the latest commits:

*git pull*

To list the commits made since a release tag (e.g. v4_3_6):

*git log HEAD ^v4_3_6*

The build process is unchanged.
To build the user part:

*cd linux-gpib-git/linux-gpib-user*
*./bootstrap*
*./configure --sysconfdir=/etc*
*make*
*sudo make install*

To build the kernel part:


*cd linux-gpib-git/linux-gpib-kernel*
*make*
*sudo make install*

cheers,
-Dave
