Fix for installing a branch

In the archives created by GitHub from branches, the directories do not contain the v prefix used in the branch name. Here is one example:

> wget https://github.com/paradigm4/grouped_aggregate/archive/v15.7.tar.gz
> tar -zxvf 15.7.tar.gz
grouped_aggregate-15.7/
grouped_aggregate-15.7/AggregateHashTable.h
...

Notice how the directory inside the archive is grouped_aggregate-15.7 and not grouped_aggregate-v15.7.

For this reason, install_github operator fails when a branch is used. Here is the iquery output:

AFL% load_library('dev_tools');
Query was executed successfully
AFL% install_github('Paradigm4/grouped_aggregate`, 'v15.7');
SystemException in file: Physicalinstall_github.cpp function: execute line: 118
Error id: scidb::SCIDB_SE_OPERATOR::SCIDB_LE_ILLEGAL_OPERATION
Error description: Operator error. Illegal operation: failed to build plugin.

And here is the scidb-stderr.log output:

sh: 1: cd: can't cd to /tmp/install_github_atP3WB/*-v15.7
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

Notice how the directory name in which the operator tries to cd contains v in front of the branch version, as specified in the operator branch argument.

The second commit in the pull request #4 869a790 is a patch to address this issue. The patch checks for v prefix in the branch and uses the branch without the v prefix for accessing the directory of the source code. The patch has been tested and works on SciDB 15.7.

Broken in 16.9?

I get with commit 8c388e5:

iquery -aq "load_library('devtools')"
SystemException in file: src/network/BaseConnection.h function: receive line: 426
Error id: scidb::SCIDB_SE_NETWORK::SCIDB_LE_CANT_SEND_RECEIVE
Error description: Network error. Cannot receive network message: Read failed: End of file (asio.misc:2).  An instance may be offline..

Update for 19.3

It appears that the operator would need to be updated in order to work on 19.3. Trying to build it, I get:

dev_tools for private GitHub repos

dev_tools cannot be used (with some options) to install private GitHub repos of Paradigm4. Throws an error (something like: cannot find repo...).

The alternate is the manual method:

• cloning the private repo
• running make inside the repo folder
• copying the generated *.so file(s) to <SCIDB_DIR>/lib/scidb/plugins
• restarting SciDB using scidb.py stopall DBNAME, and then scidb.py startall DBNAME
