    ENH: use GIT_TAG master for all remote modules · 6520ab99
    Rashad Kanavath authored
    Changes in OTB, platform, compilers, upgrade of dependencies might need
    a change in remote module code. This code is maintained (mostly) by
    people not invovled in everyday activity of OTB. Due to delay in make
    changes dashboard of OTB will be broken. It keeps happening again.
    
    Current workflow:
    1. create issue on remote module repo
    2. review/propose a merge request on that project
    3. test this remote module (manually) on all platforms
    4. create a new mr to update GIT_TAG
    
    New workflow:
    1. use "master" for GIT_TAG
    2. allow remote module devs to continue pushing fixes
    3. GIT_TAG will be updated during release process after creation of
    release-X.Y branch
    
    Benenfits:
    * developers of OTB can test latest version of a remote module
    when using develop
    * users can get access to latest version of a remote module
    when using develop
    * developers of remote module can test latest changes with latest OTB
    on all platforms (using cdash)
    * reduce delay and avoid updating GIT_TAG with each module in between
      releases.
    
    when a build fails because changes in OTB are not reflected in remote module. *could we disable this module.
    remote module are nice. but it is now fixing their code and then a mr to update tag.
