ROMS 3.7

[jsouza]

I am trying to get the lastest "frozen" version of the ROMS-3.7, as from the message viewtopic.php?t=5266
However, when checking the branches in the ROMS git repository I can only see tags up to the version 3.6. And the master seems to contain the version 3.8.

What is the best way to get access to the this source code?

Cheers

Joao

The frozen versions of ROMS are available only on SVN. Usually, one checkout the tags SVN repository:

svn checkout https://www.myroms.org/svn/src/tags tags
svn checkout https://www.myroms.org/svn/src/tags/roms-3.7 roms-3.7

The GIT repository works in a different way. If you need the version that was tagged as roms-3.7, you may like to check the ROMS GIT trac web page and identify the GIT hash that is close to the tagged version that you want. Also, it is easier to just type git log:
