#2896 closed enhancement (fixed)

Allow installation of specific versions of GRASS addons

Reported by: pmav99 Owned by: grass-dev@…
Priority: normal Milestone: 7.4.1
Component: Addons Version: unspecified
Keywords: g.extension Cc:
CPU: Unspecified Platform: Unspecified

Description

At the moment, g.extension only supports the installation of the latest revision of the svn repository. As a result, any non-backward compatible change in the GRASS-addons repo, means that existing code may break.

Being able to install specific versions of GRASS addons would mitigate a potential source of bugs and would make debugging of addon related code easier.

The 7.1 version of g.extension can theoretically install any online zip if it has the right Makefile. You can also download the right version and then install from the zip or directory. For example, here is installation for r57849 version of r.local.relief (URL can be retrieved from Trac):

g.extension r.local.relief url="https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass-addons/grass7/raster/r.local.relief?rev=57900&format=zip"
