Hi,
I just tried installing elmer via Gentoo ebuilds (http://bugs.gentoo.org/221013) and found the source code to be missing in the sourceforge project.
Could you add the elmerfem-5.4.1.tar.gz files (as well as the other needed source files) again?
Gentoo uses the source releases directly to install elmer, so using the SVN sources isn't a simple alternative (I'd have to rewrite the installation scripts again).
Best wishes,
Arne

Hi,
i'd go with the trunk instead 5.4.1 is soon 2 years old. Would this
work for you:
http://elmerfem.svn.sourceforge.net/vie ... z?view=tar
?
Don't know whether you could request specfic svn revision with that, if you
would like to keep things stable, though.

Hi Juha,
Thanks for your answer!
Using trunk would mean, that I'd have to change all ebuilds (build instructions) myself, switching them to "live" versions. The advantage for me in using the existing ebuilds is, that they integrate the program nicely into my system - including dependency tracking, file name collision detection and such.
I'd much prefer building 5.4.1 first and updating the ebuilds to the current version, when I see if the ebuilds still work (updating noncheckable ebuilds to a current version which potentially requires additional dependencies adds a bit too much complexity to tackle upfront).

Hi,
you can change "trunk" to "release/5.4.1" in the link given in previous
comment, and it should work out just fine ?
Or do you mean that your build scripts refer to a specfic url-address?
Which has perhaps existed before, but vanished ?

hi,
Ok i reread your first post, sorry of being somewhat slow on this. I'll see what i can do to add the source package if you can't use the suggested url?

Sorry for answering late - Xmaas and years end intervened
I can use the svn snapshot, but that's more fragile snce it doesn't use the file hosting sourceforge provides - which is optimized for high volume serving (they prefer people using the file release system). Also Gentoo has its own mirror-network which can mirror sourceforge file-releases semi-automatically, but can't mirror SVN tags.
Still I'll first try using the tags from SVN - if I get them to build cleanly, I can try going one step up and using the latest trunk. The change to the tag tarballs is far smaller than the change to a real live (=versiontracking) ebuild.
Besides: Happy new year!
Re: Source code on sf.net/projects/elmerfem
My first Debian package for Elmer used version 5.4.1, and all of my files are in http://lyre.mit.edu/~powell/elmer/ . For example http://lyre.mit.edu/~powell/elmer/elmer ... rig.tar.gz is the upstream tarball, and http://lyre.mit.edu/~powell/elmer/elmer ... rig.tar.gz is the tarball with a couple of non-free and redundant directories removed.

Thanks for your offer!
I now used the snapshot from svn to make the ebuilds work again, though, since I'm not the original writer of the ebuilds, so I didn't know what I could change and what would break the build.
What kind of unfree stuff does the tarball contain?

Update: The release tarball works without problems. I didn't yet get a traball from trunk to compile completely, though.
