<div class="moz-cite-prefix">IIUC, current mechanism for "updating"
phenix is to download and install the whole thing every time one
wants to get a nightly build and/or latest official release.
While it is not technically difficult, it is something that I am
reluctant to do on a regular basis (maybe I can set up a daemon
that would do that for me every night, but additional difficulty
is that one has to get a password by email). I am not using 4kbps
modem anymore, but still the whole thing is pretty big.<br>
<br>
Given Pavel's comment ("not goining to sparkle an endless useless
discussion about what is right") I suspect that an unsolicited
suggestion of the kind I am going to make below is not necessarily
what phenix team is looking for. I thought discussion boards are
established just for that - uncensored (to a degree) discussion
where users are free to express their concerns and opinions
without fear of being labeled useless by people who control the
board itself. I however know everything I say is generally
useless already, so here goes.<br>
<br>
Given that changes between nightly builds are likely limited to
relatively small patches/additions, is there some mechanism to do
updates "revision control style", i.e. by downloading and updating
only the parts of code that changed? This way if I want to keep
using bleeding edge version, I do not need to download ~650Mb on a
daily basis.<br>
<br>

<div>Hi phenixbb/developers,<br>
<br>
</div>
Recently, some people have experienced problems
with B-factor refinement in the official releases
of PHENIX.<br>
<br>
</div>
It seems to me that, generally speaking, the first
suggestion is to use the nightly builds of phenix.<br>
<br>
<br>
</div>
So, my question is:<br>
</div>
How does the official releases work? Is it a snapshot of
the development version, or are you doing some kind of
stabilization during the development of the official
releases? Are you updating the official releases after
release (to fix bugs) or are the bugs only fixed in the
nightly builds.<br>
<br>
</div>
<br>
</div>
With the current official releases, would I be better off
using the nightly builds for refinement? (I have also seen
some weird behavior with B-factor refinement).<br>
<br>
<br>
</div>
Best regards and thank you for developing phenix,<br>
