i give up... i'm able to clone gnumeric and pull down the latest code, but i have been unable to figure out how to get the latest official release
i want to build release 1.9.6 i think doing so involves using a tag... i found one that looks like what i need: GNUMERIC_1_9_6 i can't find the documentation on how to use it the section "Using Tags" in http://live.gnome.org/Git/Developers is unhelpful, only noting that maintainers use tags to mark releases, and not showing how tags can be used i don't know if i have to clone, pull, checkout, or fetch the release... i've tried various combinations for instance, i've tried the following: $ git clone -n git://git.gnome.org/gnumeric Initialized empty Git repository in /home/marlon/gnome-dev/gnumeric/.git/ remote: Counting objects: 164330, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (24273/24273), done. remote: Total 164330 (delta 139555), reused 163265 (delta 138753) Receiving objects: 100% (164330/164330), 118.08 MiB | 188 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (139555/139555), done. $ cd gnumeric $ git checkout GNUMERIC_1_9_6 error: Entry 'ChangeLog' would be overwritten by merge. Cannot merge. $ i guess i'm supposed to read all the man pages and become a git expert, in order to be able to grab the latest release to compile -- -eom- _______________________________________________ gnumeric-list mailing list gnumeric-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumeric-list
