504	Inconsistencies regarding ropp_build	Ian Culverwell	Ian Culverwell	"Helpdesk 351 enquirer (Hui Liu, UCAR) notes that:
{{{
dear sirs,

I did the command:
tar -zxvf ropp-9.0.tar.gz

but I did find the directory ropp_build/. any suggestions for this?

thanks.

My reply:
{{{
Thank you for your enquiry.

The ropp_builds directory, which contains various tools to help the 
user to build ROPP, can be downloaded from the ROPP-9.0 --> CODES 
folder (item 99) at

http://www.romsaf.org/ropp/files.php

As far as I can see, it has never been part of the 'entire' tarball
distribution.

All the elements of ropp_build (buildpack, the mini configuration 
files, etc) are included in the main tarball, so you should not need 
them.

I understand your confusion, however.  The Release Notes clearly say 
that ropp_build _is_ included in the main tarball, so we will fix 
that at the next release.  Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
}}}

So we need to sort this out.
