[Q-e-developers] versioning issues? (UNCLASSIFIED)

[Filippo SPIGA]

Dear Alex,

thank you for reporting this. I have to admit, I never paid too much attention to the first line of the output and I have been running this QE version for testing purposes many times!!!

The version you download from QE-FORGE is correct but, because version.f90.in has erroneous information, the Makefile keep replacing the correct version.f90 with wrong information. A quick fix is the following:

tar zxvf espresso-5.2.1.tar.gz
cd espresso-5.2.1
cp Modules/version.f90 Modules/version.f90.in
rm install/update_version

The correct version will continue to appear in the header of the output. From a correctness point of view, these changes do not impact anything in the code apart the first line. Soon we will release v5.3.0, we might consider to re-upload later a fixed tar.gz of v5.2.1

Thanks again to reach us reporting this problem.

Regards
