Publish the ports for OpenFOAM 2.3.x and 3.0.x and backport fixes from 4.x #56

Open wyldckat opened 7 years ago

wyldckat commented 7 years ago

Internally at FSD blueCAPE we have a partial port of OpenFOAM 2.3.x and 3.0.x, which can be compiled directly in the blueCFD-Core 2016 software stack (because of the GCC version).

However, we haven't had the time needed to release the branches for 3.0.x and repository for 2.3.x, since we still wanted to first backport the fixes that were made during the development of our port of OpenFOAM 4.x.

Therefore, this task is left open here as a reminder, including to let people know that we can publish this if people ask/sponsor it.

Have finally pushed the changes that had been developed right before the development of blueCFD-Core 2016-1, but which were not published back then because they weren't completed.

Technically they still haven't been completed, but this work is being made public so that this task can more easily be done from this point onward. See the following repositories/branches for the (partially complete) ports of OpenFOAM 2.3.x and 3.0.x for Windows:

It has also been made available in the repositories for blueCFD-Core-2.3.x the commits+tags for the developments released for blueCFD-Core 2.3-1:

Next step

Depends on people showing interest in this to be completed, namely the interested needed in doing the next two steps:

  1. Writing instructions at openfoamwiki.net on how to use blueCFD-Core 2016 as a basis for compiling the branches blueCFD-Core-2.3.x and blueCFD-Core-3.0.x.

  2. Backporting the fixes that were made in blueCFD-Core-4.x to at least the branch blueCFD-Core-3.0.x.
