Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] [gnuradio/gnuradio] Release v3.8.0.0 - Release 3.8.0.0

[Derek Kozel]

Hi Barry,

Here's a git course that I really recommend. It says it takes 10 hours,
but I find most people go through much faster and most of the basics are
covered in the first 30 minutes or so. It does require registration but
is free.
https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-git

As described in Marcus' email, the 3.8.x.x development will now all be
on the maint-3.8 branch. This is definitely the branch you want to move
to as it will be more stable than master (which will have breaking
changes on the way to a 3.9 release).

git checkout maint-3.8
git submodule update
git status


Here's the results as shown on my system:

[dkozel@wyvern gnuradio] git checkout maint-3.8
M    volk
Branch 'maint-3.8' set up to track remote branch 'maint-3.8' from
'gnuradio'.
Switched to a new branch 'maint-3.8'
[dkozel@wyvern gnuradio] git submodule update
Submodule path 'volk': checked out
'1299d72c396a88fd2679adfd7a919ac00d2cf678'
[dkozel@wyvern gnuradio] git describe
v3.8.0.0
[dkozel@wyvern gnuradio] git status
On branch maint-3.8
Your branch is up-to-date with 'gnuradio/maint-3.8'.

nothing to commit, working tree clean

Derek
