#135 Missing content... sort-of -- "Download OpenFOAM®-ext:" doesn't indicate the necessary renaming of the folder

[Bruno Santos]

As seen in the front-page at http://www.extend-project.de/ , the git clone command is missing a reference to the real local folder name. The current command shown:
Πgit clone git://openfoam-extend.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/openfoam-extend/openfoam-extend

The suggestion is to change to this:
Πgit clone git://openfoam-extend.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/openfoam-extend/openfoam-extend OpenFOAM-1.6-ext

This way it's quicker for the on-the-go people that use the front-page as a quick way to do know the git clone command.

I would prefer we modify the "git clone" command on the front page like this:

git clone git://openfoam-extend.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/openfoam-extend/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext

The "openfoam-extend" is the default repository created by SF.Net.

We have since created a "link" to that repository called OpenFOAM-1.6-ext.

If you take the time to explore both repositories, you will see that they are identical.

Using the URL I propose, we don't have to specify a name for the local repository, so you remove yet another opportunity to make an error for "on-the-go" people.

I was well aware of that repo and only didn't suggest it because last time I thought I had tried that link, it wasn't able to do the clone.

But I've tested it out now and indeed it works! :)

I probably bungled up something in the link while changing the last "openfoam-extend" folder name to "OpenFOAM-1.6-ext" :(

Greetings to all!

Since this bug report isn't closed yet, I'll reuse it...
With the new location of the Git repositories, the main project page at http://www.extend-project.de/ needs to be updated. The suggested command for cloning is:

ŒŒ git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/openfoam-extend/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext

Best regards,
