[SOLVED] during_downloading_sources

[ewpostek]

[ewpostek@wn8043 SOFAN]$ git clone -b v16.08 https://github.com/sofa-framework/sofa.git sofa/v16.08/src/
Dear Colleagues,
While downloading I obtained such comments,
should I do anything with them ?
best regards,
Elek

Hi Eligiusz,

No worries !
This is just due to tags which were removed in the github interface, and it appears that a reference is still present in the .git/ repo. But this won’t affect your download.

Cheers,

Eligiusz,

This is strange. I just did it, and I just have the usual output:

Did you do anything special?
Is this a brand new download?

Hi,
No, I did not do anything particular.
I simply made a copy/paste of the link
you gave on the download page,
Elek

Thanks for the notice Eligiusz.
Still it’s only a minor tag issue (tags have been removed and re-committed), and it won’t affect the compilation of SOFA. A brand new checkout should not give the warning anymore.

Best,

Hugo
