Re: [Opengrads-devel] Upgrading OpenGrADS Bundle to 2.0.a8

[Arlindo da S. <da...@al...>]

All,

   I have posted binaries tarballs for supplibs 2.2.0 and grads 2.0.a8.oga.1
on sf.net:

https://sourceforge.net/downloads/opengrads/grads2/2.0.a8.oga.1/

https://sourceforge.net/downloads/opengrads/supplibs/2.2.0/


   If someone would like to give it a try before I make a general
announcement I'd really appreciate it.

   I still need to finish the Snow Leopard and Windows builds. I'll post the
final sources when I finish all the other builds. For now, use the checkout
instructions below to build from sources.

   Cheers!

      Arlindo
