[gmx-users] Major code reorganization in git coming up

[Tsjerk Wassenaar]

Hi Erik,

Happy New Year!

Last year (:p) I rewrote the routine from Andrea Amadei for
application of rotational constraints in a statistical mechanical
consistent manner. It's completely parallellelellized and consistent
with pd/dd as well as application every so many steps. The tests seem
good, although some small changes in handling the reference structure
may be required. Bottom line is, it was a pain getting it working with
the >4.1 releases due to all the changes and I'm a bit afraid of
what's to come :) So maybe a good idea to add it soon for beta? I can
provide the patch against the release-4.5-patches. I've implemented it
as an additional COMM removal mode.

Cheers,

Tsjerk

In the latter case you might have to go through some pain to port your code back to the new file organization later (sorry about that).
