[GRASS-dev] svn required for g.extension??

I was surprised to find that svn is required in order to use g.extension since GRASS moved to GitHub many years back. The interface from the GUI seems to lock up on launch. Maybe the lack of SVN is the reason?

It has been worked on just recently:

https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/2895

In GRASS GIS 8.3.dev it is already merged, please test it.

I’ll do so. I compiled 8.3 a couple weeks ago. I’ll try it again. Thanks.

It has been worked on just recently:

g.extension: use git sparse-checkout instead of SVN by ninsbl · Pull Request #2895 · OSGeo/grass · GitHub

In GRASS GIS 8.3.dev it is already merged, please test it.

I just updated and recompiled GRASS 8.3 dev. All compiles and runs well but not g.extension.

I managed to install SVN a couple days ago and g.extension worked. Now I have the new version, which does not require SVN and it doesn’t work.

Here is the error message:

8.3.app/Contents/Resources/scripts/g.extension", line 260,
in _get_version
return float(
^^^^^^
ValueError: could not convert string to float: ‘Git-143)’

I’ve tried a couple of extensions and they both fail at this point.
