A simple question: Suppose I want to do a little WSJT-X development...
experimenting with new features, bug fixing, submitting the occasional
patch. I'll be coding on Linux, but will want to compile for Windows as
well as Linux for testing. (Not particularly interested in building my
own source tarball.) What's the best way to do this now?
I can build from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/wsjt/files/wsjtx-2.1.2/wsjtx-2.1.2.tgz
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/wsjt/files/wsjtx-2.1.2/wsjtx-2.1.2.tgz/download> just
fine; but I've seen email saying the repository has moved to git, so I'm
not sure that tarball is up to date.
All new revisions of WSJT-X include a tarball including the code from
which they were built. The tarball posted at the SourceForge link you
quote (and also on the WSJT web site here
http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx-2.1.2.tgz ) is, indeed,
the latest source code that has been released.
In the past, experimental and developmental code that might (or might
not) become part of a future release was also made publicly available.
This led to significant problems: for example, another developer copying
our work in progress and releasing it before it was finished.
You may confidently treat the published tarball as the latest
source-code release.
