Maintenance of OBSTOOLS
Context
Currently, the compilation of the tools OBSTOOLS
(src/tools/OBSTOOLS
) fails both in branch_5.0
and branch_4.2
. The OBSTOOLS
source code involves modules from src/OCE/
, mostly through symbolic links, but has not been kept up-to-date with recent changes therein.
Proposal
In a first phase, the compilability of OBSTOOLS
will be restored. In a second phase, the OBSTOOLS
tools should be reviewed, and, if required, updated accordingly.
As part of the second phase, it is proposed to include the compilation of the OBSTOOLS
tools, and to limited extent the use of some of these tools (facilitated by minor updates), into the ORCA2_ICE_OBS
SETTE testing set-up of branch main
.
