CESM3.0 beta02 write permission for CDEPS/fox

[mike_scchen@gmail_com]

Hi,
We're trying to port CESM 3.0 beta02 to our machine with largely success.
We share the ported installation in project instructor's folder to other users like before, so they can call the create_newcase in it and then ./xmlchange the settings on their own.
However, they always fail at case.build step.
The error message looks like:

(cdeps.bld.log)
[11%] Creatind directories for 'for-populate'
[22%] Performing download step (git clone) for 'fox-populate'
Error removing directory "(cesm installation dir)/components/cdeps/fox".
CMake Error at (scratch dir)/bld/intel/intelmpi/nodebug/nothreads/CDEPS/_deps/fox-subbuild/fox-populate-prefix/tmp/fox-populate-gitclone.cmake:30 (message):
Failed to remove directory:
'(cesm installation dir)/components/cdeps/fox'

It's obvious that the error was caused by users cannot write into the ported installation folder.
Is it possible to remove necessity of the git clone step? Maybe some XML switch or something?
Thanks!

I believe you can fix this by applying the changes from Fox download revert by jedwards4b · Pull Request #297 · ESCOMP/CDEPS

Namely, remove the following block of code from components/cdeps/CMakeLists.txt:

   FetchContent_Declare(fox
     GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/ESMCI/fox.git
     GIT_TAG 4.1.2.1
     SOURCE_DIR ${FOX_ROOT}
     BINARY_DIR ${FOX_ROOT}/..
   )
   FetchContent_GetProperties(fox)
   if(NOT fox_POPULATED)
     FetchContent_Populate(fox)
     message(STATUS "FoX source dir: ${fox_SOURCE_DIR}")
     message(STATUS "FoX binary dir: ${fox_BINARY_DIR}")
   endif()

Hi,
I've tested the change and it works like a charm.
Thanks!
