Is there a "canonical" source for udunits-2? #32

Hi udunits-2 devs!

In the unidata webpage we have links for releases 2.2.18 2.1.24, 2.0.4, and even 1.12.10. And in the GitHub release page we have from 2.2.0 to 2.2.17, but no 2.2.18. That is a little confusing. It would be nice to have at least one place with all the releases, legacy and latest alike.

Also, 2.2.18 release seems to be missing tsearch.c, which is crucial for windows builds. See https://github.com/ioos/conda-recipes/pull/143.

Was this intentional? Is there a chance to get a 2.2.18 GitHub release with the full source that we can compile on Windows?

And then there is the ftp site: ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/udunits/ 4-2-2015 9-42-49 am @semmerson , what's up here?!

My bad. I didn't create a 2.2.8 release when I pushed it to GitHub.

It's there now.

There's a difference between a GitHub release and a source-code distribution. The former has all files necessary for developing a package while the latter has only those files necessary for building and installing a package. The site ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/udunits contains only the most recent "bug fix" versions of all the "minor release" source-code distributions. The GitHub site necessarily contains all versions.

UDUNITS 2.2.19 is now available. It should have the tsearch module.

@ocefpaf Regarding the "Hi udunits-2 devs", just so you know, there's only about 0.01 of an FTE working on the UDUNITS package (compared to 2.5 for the netCDF package) -- so things can take a while.

If only I knew C...

Thanks for the answer, the release, and UDUNITS-2 :grinning: BTW
