Reminder: Please don't forget to test building v1612+ with the following scenarios
I don't know who is responsible for packaging the OpenFOAM+ releases, but this issue is a reminder of what happened with v1606+ and which can be avoided with v1612+:
-
There were a few problems when building with 64-bit labels, which were only fixed in the
master
branch after the release. Therefore, please also test building with 64-bit labels. -
Even though it's rare, having on the building test loop the option to build with SP (Single Precision) would also be welcome, to also avoid support issues later on. If it at least builds, that's a good step forward.
-
There were a couple of other problems that would only appear when building with the "OpenFOAM-v1606+" and "ThirdParty-v1606+" folder paths and not with "OpenFOAM-plus"... unfortunately at the moment I can't remember what they were. Therefore, please also run build tests with the release folder, not just the repository folder, before releasing.
