Hi Everybody!
As I've mentioned elsewhere we're taking the osmocom trac instance offline whilst we switch to the new git repository. The site may be down for around eight hours or so. Once restored we'll have a period where the build guides do not reflect the current codebase. I shall modify the build guide (unless I can find a volunteer) to refer to the tarballs and have a subsection on building from git.
All this is because we want to do more new things and we're trying to limit the number of build steps and external dependencies to make things easier to install and use. Once this is up we may even start responding to tickets :)

Did moving to git wipe out all change history? It'd be nice to be able to see the changes between the svn version and git version, since they seem massively different...

As far as I know the new code has never been checked in to svn, whereas the old (pre-GR-3.7) codebase has never been checked into git. One reason for this is the directory structures of the two projects are radically different, and while something like this could probably be done the effort would not be trivial...

What OS do you guys recommend to use with the latest release of GNU-Radio and OP25 I will be trying to get the latest releases built and working on my computer using VMWare Player and would like to have the optimal settings and Operating System when starting the project.
Thanks for any help,
Bob
This is a question that sometimes if you ask 4 different people you'll get 4 different answers...
Notwithstanding, reasonably recent versions of Ubuntu / Debian, with GNU Radio 3.7 (or higher)
If you run into build problems please post them to this list

The server is now back up and the git stuff all ok. To clone from git you can just run:
git clone git://op25.osmocom.org
The wiki will need updating to reflect this and we shall start hosting tarballs as attachments on the build instructions page.
