I completely agree with the above two sentences, but...

may be wrong but the casper git repository seems to be broken at
the moment.
IMHO, this kind of haphazard conjecture is not helpful to the
community. If you have good reason to believe that the files in the
current HEAD version of the CASPER Git repository seem to be broken,
then please share with us/everyone your good reason so that we may
fix things. If you have good reason to believe that the CASPER Git
repository is itself broken, then please share with us/everyone your
good reason so that we may fix it. If you don't really know the root
cause of a problem, then please, please, please do not toss out to
the entire CASPER community the idea that "the casper git repository
seems to be broken" (even with an "I may be wrong but..." qualifier).
As far as I can tell, the CASPER Git repository and libraries are NOT
broken at the moment.
Use the following to get a version that should work better until it
gets fixed
at Berkeley;
git clone git://casper.berkeley.edu/mlib_devel/kat.git
While one may use the kat.git repository if they want to, I will note
that it does not include a number of changes that were pushed (i.e.
made publicly available) and announced on the casper-scm list in
July. Among the changes absent in kat.git are fixes to the
fft_biplex_real_2x block to improve timing and resource utilization
(BRAM vs distributed memory in the underlying reorder blocks).
Thanks,
Dave
