[yt-users] Installing yt within Enzo 1.5

[Matthew Turk]

Good question --

Your old installation of yt should work.

The version bundled with Enzo 1.5 is from the branches/yt-1.0/ section
of the repository; as such, it is largely stable against changes, and
has been in something of a maintenance mode for a few months now, with
few featuers being added.  If you want the latest and greatest -- but
also less tested! -- yt, you'd be installing from trunk.

So I'd say, if you are having success wiht an already-installed
version of yt, don't bother installing a new one for now.  I'll notify
this list if there are any major bugs or bug fixes that require an
update.
