Poll: How do you (re)generate s4ext file for Slicer ExtensionsIndex?

  • I make my own s4ext file (write from scratch, copy from somewhere and modify it, etc)
  • I use the s4ext file that was generated as part of the extension build process, and re-generate it that way if I need to update s4ext
  • If I need to update something in s4ext that is already in ExtensionsIndex, I just edit it manually
  • I use ExtensionWizard to make my extensions, and I use s4ext it creates
  • I use some other approach

If I need to update something in s4ext that is already in ExtensionsIndex, I just edit it manually

I sometime manually edit to only change the git hash.

So you should also check the manual edit option too :wink:

Jokes aside, I hope this is useful, and should also raise awareness of the developers about what is the proper procedure and that they should remember to update the CMakeLists.txt of their extension.

So as I :slight_smile: BUt I edit s4ext’s exactly once: when I change the fixed git hash / svn rev to HEAD. Otherwise generate from CMakeLists
