With this commit, I have corrected several minor typos in Section 2
(Definitions). I have also put a couple of notes for modify or ignore
some phrases.
|
|
With this commit, minor typos have been corrected in the Introduction
section. The majority of them are just small corrections, others are in
order to not use contractions ("did not" instead of "didn't" and so on).
Other modifications have been added with the aim of remove some small
portion of the phrases to make it more focused.

With this commit, I have tried to make the Abstract a bit shorter. I
think it was too long considering that there are plenty of space in the
paper to describe some of the points that were noticed in the abstract.
The main point is just to try to be atractive to the reader being
focused to the main points. In any case I think there are room for
improving it. The keywords have also been sorted alphabetically.
|
|
With this commit, I have added my name as co-author of the paper. Since
my affiliation is the same as Mohammad's affiliations, I did not have to
add any additional line for that.
|
|
Raul noticed this during the build: I had mistakenly put an extra `&&' at
the start of the line where the line before ended with a `;'.

Until now, Astropy was instructed to build its own internal copy of the
Expat library. However, with the recent commits before, Maneage now
includes an installation of Expat and Astropy can't keep the two (its
internal version and the project's version) separate, so they conflict and
don't let Astropy get built.
When trying to build Manage (the actual project, not this paper) after
applying the commits before there, Raul discovered this problem.
With this commit, the problem is fixed by setting the Expat library as an
explicit dependency of Astropy and asking Astropy to ignore its internal
copy.
While doing this, I recognized that it is much easier and elegant to add
steps in various stages of the `pybuild' function through hooks instead of
variables. So the fifth argument of the `pybuild' function was removed and
now it actually checks if hooks are defined as functions and if so, they
will be called.
The `pyhook_after' function was also implemented in the installation of
`pybind11' (which needed it, given that the 5th argument of `pybuild' was
removed) and after doing a test-build, I noticed that two lines were not
ending with a `\' in `boost' (a dependency of `pybind11').

Until now we would simply return the version numbers as they were written
into the separate files and situations can happen where the version numbers
contain an underscore (`_'). However, this character is a methematical
character in LaTeX, causing LaTeX to complain and abort.
With this commit, a step has been added at the end of the configure script
to convert any possible `_' to `\_'. Once it is commented (a backslash is
put behind it), the underscore will be printed as it is in the final PDF.

Until now, the M4 that was built on macOS had internal problems (as
discussed in #1): it would simply print `Abort trap: 6' in the output and
abort. After looking at the build of Homebrew, I noticed that they apply a
patch (correct one line) to fix this problem. To be able to apply that
patch on macOS systems, I had fully open up the build recipe of M4 and
atleast on the testing system, it was built successfully.
Also, after successfully building M4, and thus Autoconf and thus Minizip,
we were able to build XLSX I/O on a macOS and found out that the internal
library's full address wasn't being put in the libraries and
executables. With this commit, we now use macOS's `install_name_tool' to
correct the positions of the two `libxlsxio_*' libraries in all its
executables.
|
|
Minizip is a dependency of XLSX I/O and until now, I was just using the
most recent version I found (2.9.2), but XLSX I/O is written for the
Minizip 1.x series, not 2.x. Somehow it didn't cause a crash on my
computer!!! I think XLSX I/O's CMake is instructed to look into system
directories by default when it doesn't find the directories in the given
places. And because I had installed Minizip on my operating system, it
did't complain.
Upon trying the build on their systems, Yahya, Raul and Zahra reported a
failure in the build of XLSX I/O which was due the to the problem above (we
were installing the wrong version of Minizip!).
With this commit, this has been fixed by installing the 1.x series of
Minizip (whish is actually installed within zlib!).

A few minor conflicts occurred and were fixed.
|
|
I hadn't updated the abstract since first writing it. With this commit, it
has been updated to be more precise and generically interesting, focusing
more on the principles and usability. I also greatly improved the section
on publishing the workflow.
|
|
There weren't any conflicts in this merge.
|
|
The subdirectories here (and the fact that they may be symbolic links) may
be confusing for some early project users, so a `README.md' file was added
there describing them and when they are links, when directories and when
some may not yet exist.
|
|
Until this commit, the year of this paper was 2019 and the linking url
was the temporal one. However, the final official publication year is
2020. With this commit, the year and the url have been changed to the
final ones.
|
|
With this commit, multiples tabs in the definition of MissFITS tarball
have been removed. Now they are white spaces.
|
|
This section (of sharing a build directory between multiple members of the
project) is also a good features of Maneage.
|
|
The figure was greatly improved, becoming much more clear and descriptive
of some of the main advantages of having version control in a complete
project like Maneage.
|
|
With the main structure of Maneage explained, I have started to explain how
a new project is created, along with a schematic diagram that shows two
scenarios of how Git can help with project management.

Until now, the introduction had repeated several things and also had a
relatively long list of things to add in its end. Also, it was highly
focused to scientific papers.
With this commit, I effectively re-wrote it, with the starting paragraphs
becoming more industry-friendly, while also focusing on the scientific
cases. Many of the repetative parts were removed and the listed items in
the end were put into the text in a much better context.
Also, now that the name of the system involves "lineage" (and a lot of
focus is put on it in the start) the terms data provenance and lineage were
defined in the definition section.
Some other intersting points that I encountered during the research on
definitions were added to the discussion and final lists, and the DOI of
one reference paper was corrected.
|
|
With this commit a description of these two important parts have been added
to the project, along with several figures showing various parts of the
files that are discussed. I also done some other restructuring of the
figures and files to make things fit better into the the description of the
paper.
|
|
Until this commit, PyYAML was not set as prerequisite of Astropy. This
package is an optional dependency of Astropy for some particular
functions. However, we have already included PyYAML into this project so
it is available. With this commit, PyYAML has been set as a prerequisite
of Astropy.
In addition to this, Html5lib and Beautifulsoup4 have been also added as
prerequsites of Astropy (and removed from Astroquery prerequisites). I
noticed that both of them are optional dependencies of Astropy.
|
|
In the last update of Astropy to version 4.0 they removed some things
that the previous version of Astroquery needs. As a consequence, it is
also necessary to update the Astroquery version to be a ble to run with
the Astropy 4.0. With this commit, the update of Astroquery to it most
recent version (0.4) has been done.
|
|
Until now, I was mistakenly multiplying the fraction of papers in that
journal. This is corrected with this commit.
|
|
In order to make the description more clear and readable, the rules in the
demonstrated Makefile (and their links to the data lineage plot) were made
more clear.
|
|
Until now, there was no explanation on an actual analysis phase, therefore
with this commit an example scenario with a readable Makefile is included.
The Data lineage graph was also simplified to both be more readable, and
also to correspond to this new explanation and subMakefile.
Some random edits/typos were also corrected and some references added for
discussion.

Until now, the preparation phase was always executed before the final build
phase when running `./project make'. But when it becomes necessary, project
preparation can be slow and will un-necessarily slow down the project while
the project is growing (focus is on the analysis that is done after
preparation).
With this commit, preparation will be done automatically the first time
that the project is run (`.build/software/preparation-done.mk' doesn't
exist). However, after preperation is complete once, future runs of
`./project make' won't do preparation any more (by calling
`top-prepare.mk'). They will directly call `top-make.mk' for the analysis.
To manually invoke preparation after the first attempt, the `./project
make' script should be run with the new `--prepare-redo' option.
Also, since the preparation phase is now automatically done before the
analysis phase, the long notice that describes running `./project make' at
the end of the preparation phase has been removed in `top-prepare.mk'. It
now just prints a short line, saying the preparation has been complete.
Finally, when the project has not been run with the proper group
configuration, it ends with an `exit 1' so the main `./project' script
doesn't proceed any further.

MissFITS is package for manipulating FITS files.
I added it as my first commit to the project for educational
purposes.
|
|
Until now, the final preparation target of the preparation phase depended
on all the `$(makesrc)' files. This caused a problem because we were
telling it to also depend on `prepare.tex' (which is the same file that is
being built).
With this commit, we are applying the same solution we have already done in
`paper.mk' (for `paper.tex'): we are removing `prepare' from the list of
prerequisites.
This bug was found by Zahra Sharbaf.

Until now, like all software on GNU/Linux systems GCC would be built in RAM
(to speed up the build slightly and also not put too much stress on the
HDDs/SSDs). But some systems don't have enough RAM for building GCC and
will complain and crash.
With this commit, we have added a check on the amount of free space in the
`build_tmp' directory (which will be `/dev/shm' on GNU/Linux systems). If
the amount of free space isn't more than 10GB, then GCC won't be built
there and a temporary directory will be built under the `$(BDIR)/software'
directory for it.
This bug was found by Zahra Sharbaf.
This fixes bug #57853.
|
|
I had forgot to add a `./' before the call to `project' for the
`--check-config'.
|
|
This was done just to get going with describing the analysis process.
|
|
The main problems with this dataset was the names of the journals (which
sometimes have single quotes or apostrophes in them that is really annoying
for SED)! But ultimately, for the simple study we want to do here, the
journal names are irrelevant, so in the end I just ignored the names. Later
we can set an identifier for the journals if necessary.
But now we have the basic information in a way that is usable in a plot to
show in this paper.
|
|
Until now, there was no easy way to read/write `.xlsx' files (Microsoft
Excel spreadsheets) within the template. But XLSX I/O provides to simple
programs and some libraries to easily convert `.xlsx' files to CSV that can
easily be read by any tool.
This has also been implemented in the core template branch.
|
|
XLSX I/O is a very simple and fast program and library for reading and
writing `.xls' and `.xlsx' files (mainly used by Microsoft Excel) to CSV
files. It has two separate executables that can be called for an Excel file
and will output a CSV plain text file that can then be used within the
pipeline with more standard tools.
|
|
The text was slightly improved/edited and I also recently came up to the
Menke et al. 2020 (DOI:10.1101/2020.01.15.908111) which also has some good
datasets we can use as a demonstration here.
|
|
Until now we were mistakenly reporting the version of SED instead of
Texinfo.
With this commit, we corrected it!
This was reported by Raul Infante Sainz.
|
|
Until now, we defined `LIBRARY_PATH' to fix the problem of the `ld' linker
of Binutils needing several `*crt*.o' files to run. However, some software
(for example ImageMagick) over-write `LIBRARY_PATH', therefore there is no
other way than to put a link to these necessary files in our local build
directory.
With this commit, we fixed the problem by putting a link to the system's
relevant files in the local library directory. This fixed the problem with
ImageMagick. Later, when we build the GNU C Library in the project, we
should remove this step.
This bug reported by Raul Castellanos Sanchez.

Until now, when a Fortran compiler didn't exist on the host operating
system, the configure script would crash with a warning. But some projects
may not need Fortran, so this is just an extra/annoying crash!
With this commit, it will still print the warning, but instead of a crash,
it will just sleep for some seconds, then continue. Later, when if a
software needs Fortran, it's building will crash, but atleast the user was
warned.
In the future, we should add a step to check on the necessary software and
see if Fortran is necessary for the project or not. The project
configuration should indeed crash if Fortran is necessary, but we should
tell the user that software XXXX needs Fortran so we can't continue without
a Fortran compiler.
Also, a small sentence ("Project's configuration will continue in XXXX
seconds.") was added after all the warnings that won't cause a crash, so
user's don't think its a crash.

Until now, the main download script could only check one server for the
given URL. However, ultimately the actual server that a file is downloaded
from is irrelevant for this project: we actually check its
checksum. Especially in the case of software (which are distributed over
many servers), this can usually be very annoying: the servers may not
properly communicate with the running system and even the 10 trials won't
be enough.
With this commit, the download script
`reproduce/analysis/bash/download-multi-try' can take a new optional
argument (a 5th argument). It assumes this argument is a space-separated
list of server(s) to use as backup for the original URL. When downloading
from the original URL fails, it will look into this list and try
downloading the same file from each given server.

While reading over the already written parts (and hopefully complete the
paper), they were edited/corrected to be more clear.
|
|
Some edits were made after rereading of some parts.

There were no conflicts in this merge.

Until now, when `./project make' was run after an insuccessful run of
`./project configure', it would just say to run `./project configure'. But
for a first time user, this could be confusing because when the
configuration is done in parallel, the error message can be very high on
the command-line outputs and not seen clearly.
With this commit, the error message is more complete and describes the
problem and what the users should do in which circumstance.
|
|
Until now, Make was just run ordinarily on the two Makefiles of the
software building phase. Therefore when there was a problem with one
software while building in parallel, Make would only complete the running
rules and stop afterwards. But when other rules don't depened on the
crashed rule, its a waste of time to stop the whole thing.
With this commit, both calls to Make in the `configure.sh' script are done
with the `-k' option (or `--keep-going' in GNU Make). With this option, if
a rule crashes, the other rules that don't depend on it will also be
run. Generally, anything that doesn't depend on the crashed rule will be
done. The `-k' option is a POSIX definition in Make, so it is present in
most implemenetations (for the call to `basic.mk').
|
|
Until now the shell scripts in the software building phase were in the
`reproduce/software/bash' directory. But given our recent change to a
POSIX-only start, the `configure.sh' shell script (which is the main
component of this directory) is no longer written with Bash.
With this commit, to fix that problem, that directory's name has been
changed to `reproduce/software/shell'.
|
|
Until now, the project would first ask for the basic directories, then it
would start testing the compiler. But that was problematic because the
build directory can come from a previous setting (with `./project configure
-e'). Also, it could confuse users to first ask for details, then suddently
tell them that you don't have a working C library! We also need to store
the CPATH variable in the `LOCAL.conf' because in some cases, the compiler
won't work without it.
With this commit, the compiler checking has been moved at the start of the
configure script. Instead of putting the test program in the build
directory, we now make a temporary hidden directory in the source directory
and delete that directory as soon as the tests are done.
In the process, I also noticed that the copyright year of the two hidden
files weren't updated and corrected them.

Rencely the building of GCC was allowed on Debian-based systems that have
their basic C library in architecture-specific directories, like
`/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu'. However, these systems also have their headers
in non-standard locations, for example `/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu' and
this caused a crash on a new Ubuntu system.
/usr/include/stdio.h:27:10: fatal error: bits/libc-header-start.h: No
such file or directory
27 | #include <bits/libc-header-start.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
The reason it didn't cause problems on other Ubuntus that we tested before
was historic: In the old days, we would ask Ubuntu systems to install
multilib features to have GCC. Because they had installed those features,
this problem didn't show up! But this wasn't mandatory!
With this commit, the `CPATH' environment variable is set (similar to how
`LIBRARY_PATH' was set) and this fixed the problem on a clean Debian
virtual machine.
This bug was reported by Sebastian Luna Valero.

Until this commit, the small section of `README-hacking.md' in which it
is explained how to do the first configuration of Git was at the
beginning of the section `First custom commit'. However, it is better to
have it just before the item `Your first commit' in that section. With
this commit, this change has been done. Now the reader has the necessary
steps for configuring Git just before it is needed for making the first
commit.
|
|
Until now, the initial project scripts were primarily tested with GNU
Bash. But Bash is not generally available on all systems (it has many
features beyond POSIX). Because of this, effectively we were imposing the
requirement on the user that they must have Bash installed. We recently
started this with setting the shebang of `project' and
`reproduce/software/bash/configure.sh' to `/bin/sh'. After doing so, Raul
and Gaspar reported an error on their systems.
To fix the problem, I installed Dash (a minimalist POSIX-compliant shell)
on my computer and temporarily set the shebangs to `/bin/dash', ran the
project configuration step and fixed all issues that came up. With this
commit, it can go all the way to building GCC on my system's Dash. After
this stage (when `high-level.mk' is called), there is no problem, because
we have our own version of GNU Bash and that installed version is used.
Probably some more issues still remain and will hopefully be found in the
future.
While doing this, I also noticed the following two minor issues:
- The `./project configure' option `--input-dir' was not recognized
because it was mistakenly checking `--inputdir'. It has been corrected.
- The test C programs now use the `<<EOF' method instead of `echo'.
- In `basic.mk', the extra space between `syspath' and `:=' was removed
(it was an ancient relic!).

With this commit, the general outline of the analysis phase is given, as
well as a description of the LaTeX macros and their relation to the paper
and thier verification.
Also, the data-lineage figure was updated to have references.tex also and
some resizing of the folders in file-architecture to be more clear.
