Rare project developers

Hi Eoin

Sorry, I had already left for the weekend.

> How do I use install this TNA version from freeRouter cli?

Let me explain a bit about how this works. First of all, the
"tna-install-*" commands in the freerouter CLI actually just execute
variants of the "release-manager" command, which should be in your
PATH.  Some variants have to be run as root, so you either have to use
the full path /nix/var/nix/profiles/RARE/bin/release-manager, start a
root login shell (e.g. with "sudo su -") or source
/etc/profile.d/RARE.sh when you try to run them from Linux.

To install the latest development version, use "tna-install-latest" or
"release-manager --install-git origin/master". Alternatively, you can
clone the rare-nix repo and execute "make install". All three will
have the same result. However, the version of freerouter that will be
installed will be the one that has been committed to the rare-nix
repo:
https://bitbucket.software.geant.org/projects/RARE/repos/rare-nix/browse/overlay/freerouter/repo.nix

In general, this will not be the newest version from
https://github.com/rare-freertr/freeRtr. To install the latest commit
of that repo, you have to use "tna-install-experimental" or
"release-manager --install-experimental".  There currently is no
simple equivalent with a Makefile target to achieve the same.  When
you do this, you have to be aware that it can result in a build
failure or a non-working system.

Having said that, we still need to understand why some of these
commands are not working on your system. It appears that you can clone
the rare-nix repository but access to the Bitbucket API fails. 

The trace of the command you sent shows that curl terminates with
status code 6:

>> + '[' 6 -gt 0 -a 6 -ne 255 ']'
>> + echo 'Unexpected error, aborting'

According to the curl man page, this means:

       6      Couldn't resolve host. The given remote host was not resolved.

This doesn't really make sense since at least git was able to resolve
bitbucket.software.geant.org when you cloned the repo, but that's
where I would start the investigation.
