git submodule for IR_precision #43

Closed zbeekman closed 9 years ago

zbeekman commented 9 years ago

It might make sense to use a git submodule for IR_precision rather than duplicating the source into this project and your others. Git submodules can be a little bit confusing at first, but poor Fortran people can be taught how to use them, I think.

@zbeekman

:-)

You are right (and not the first to advice me... @victorsndvg I am studying your setup...).

ASAP, I will integrate git submodules into my workflow :-)

zbeekman commented 9 years ago

If you want me to take a crack at it and submit a PR, let me know. It shouldn’t take long.

szaghi commented 9 years ago

@zbeekman Feel free to do anything you consider useful, all your PR are always welcome.

However, for this specific case I have a dubt (that blocks me to use submodule in all my publuc projects): is possible to submodularize just one file of a remote repo? If not, the ir_precision module should be submodularized smartly...

zbeekman commented 9 years ago

yes, as far as I know you need to use the whole repo not just one file. You can use a symbolic link to simplify the structure though, and keep it similar to how it is now. Or adapt the fobos file to account for the new structure.

Done in the version 0.6.3.

Submodules are placed into external and the necessary sources are symlinked from here to the main project src directory.

Hello @szaghi ,

sorry for my ignorance, but I've seen your recent changes related with this issue and it's the first time that I see symbolic links in git.

It is a git feature or an usual symbolic link?

szaghi commented 9 years ago

Hi victor, it is a usual sym link. Git can handle the type of file and it recognizes that this is a sym link.

I will working on Lib_VTK_IO in my break today...
