Hi Pally, I can help here. The origin trunk (i.e. "master") on that Kitware git repo does not refresh the way you might think. Kitware has a “combined” branch that actually has the latest HEAD (updated nightly, I believe at midnight EST). To add this, issue: "git checkout -t origin/combined" "git branch" will tell where you are, and what you've got checked out: hooper:radiance rpg$ git branch combined * master hooper:radiance rpg$ You can switch between branches with the 'checkout' command: hooper:radiance rpg$ git checkout combined Switched to branch 'combined' hooper:radiance rpg$ git branch * combined master hooper:radiance rpg$ I work off this combined branch for building current packages (speaking of which a fresh set of them should go live on the NREL site today). I know this is confusing, but this is a vestige from when Kitware was doing all the heavy lifting getting the CMake build system implemented across the source tree, and making frequent changes. Anyhow, the takeaway here is if you wish to use the Kitware git repo for your latest HEAD source, use the combined branch for now! - Rob P.S. I know this is a bit confusing. We will hopefully set up our own (NREL) git mirror that I'll be able to refresh whenever I need to.
