Question about two copies of fix_atc.cpp

Hi lamps-users,

I was curious about what is going on at some point in the build when a copy of /src/USER-ATC/fix_atc.cpp was made in /src/fix_atc.cpp. I do not see the latter in the original git download. Can someone explain what is going on?

Thank you,
Stephen Thomas.

that is just how LAMMPS' build system works. only sources in the src
directory are considered for compilation. thus when installing a
package, the selected source files from the package subdirectory are
copied into src. similarly, they get deleted when uninstalling. the
git/svn repository has no packages installed by default.

Thanks for that explanation Dr. Kohlmeyer.
