2022-01-21IMPORTANT: Updates to almost all softwareMohammad Akhlaghi-7/+7
This commit primarily affects the configuration step of Maneage'd projects, and in particular, updated versions of the many of the software (see P.S.). So it shouldn't affect your high-level analysis other than the version bumps of the software you use (and the software's possibly improve/changed behavior). The following software (and thus their dependencies) couldn't be updated as described below: - Cryptography: isn't building because it depends on a new setuptools-rust package that has problems (https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?61731), so it has been commented in 'versions.conf'. - SecretStorage: because it depends on Cryptography. - Keyring: because it depends on SecretStorage. - Astroquery: because it depends on Keyring. This is a "squashed" commit after rebasing a development branch of 60 commits corresponding to a roughly two-month time interval. The following people contributed to this branch. - Boudewijn Roukema added all the R software infrastructure and the R packages, as well as greatly helping in fixing many bugs during the update. - Raul Infante-Sainz helped in testing and debugging the build. - Pedram Ashofteh Ardakani found and fixed a bug. - Zahra Sharbaf helped in testing and found several bugs. Below a description of the most noteworthy points is given. - Software tarballs: all updated software now have a unified format tarball (ustar; if not possible, pax) and unified compression (Lzip) in Maneage's software repository in Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3883409). For more on this See https://savannah.nongnu.org/task/?15699 . This won't affect any extra software you would like to add; you can use any format recognized by GNU Tar, and all common compression algorithms. This new requirement is only for software that get merged to the core Maneage branch. - Metastore (and thus libbsd and libmd) moved to highlevel: Metastore (and the packages it depends on) is a high-level product that is only relevant during the project development (like Emacs!): when the user wants the file meta data (like dates) to be unchanged after checking out branches. So it should be considered a high-level software, not basic. Metastore also usually causes many more headaches and error messages, so personally, I have stopped using it! Instead I simply merge my branches in a separate clone, then pull the merge commit: in this way, the files of my project aren't re-written during the checkout phase and therefore their dates are untouched (which can conflict with Make's dates on configuration files). - The un-official cloned version of Flex (2.6.4-91 until this commit) was causing problems in the building of Netpbm, so with this commit, it has been moved back to version 2.6.4. - Netpbm's official page had version 10.73.38 as the latest stable tarball that was just released in late 2021. But I couldn't find our previously-used version 10.86.99 anywhere (to see when it was released and why we used it! Its at last more than one year old!). So the official stable version is being used now. - Improved instructions in 'README.md' for building software environment in a Docker container (while having project source and output data products on the local system; including the usage of the host's '/dev/shm' to speed up temporary operations). - Until now, the convention in Maneage was to put eight SPACE characters before the comment lines within recipes. This was done because by default GNU Emacs (also many other editors) show a TAB as eight characters. However, in other text editors, online browsers, or even the Git diff, a TAB can correspond to a different number of characters. In such cases, the Maneage recipes wouldn't look too interesting (the comments and the recipe commands would show a different indentation!). With this commit, all the comment lines in the Makefiles within the core Maneage branch have a hash ('#') as their first character and a TAB as the second. This allows the comment lines in recipes to have the same indentation as code; making the code much more easier to read in a general scenario including a 'git diff' (editor agnostic!). P.S. List of updated software with their old and new versions - Software with no version update are not mentioned. - The old version of newly added software are shown with '--'.

2021-01-02Copyright year updated in all source filesMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
Having entered 2021, it was necessary to update the copyright years at the top of the source files. We recommend that you do this for all your project-specific source files also.
2020-06-02Core software build before using Make to build other softwareMohammad Akhlaghi-23/+34
Until now, Maneage would only build Flock before building everything else using Make (calling 'basic.mk') in parallel. Flock was necessary to avoid parallel downloads during the building of software (which could cause network problems). But after recently trying Maneage on FreeBSD (which is not yet complete, see bug #58465), we noticed that the BSD implemenation of Make couldn't parse 'basic.mk' (in particular, complaining with the 'ifeq' parts) and its shell also had some peculiarities. It was thus decided to also install our own minimalist shell, Make and compressor program before calling 'basic.mk'. In this way, 'basic.mk' can now assume the same GNU Make features that high-level.mk and python.mk assume. The pre-make building of software is now organized in 'reproduce/software/shell/pre-make-build.sh'. Another nice feature of this commit is for macOS users: until now the default macOS Make had problems for parallel building of software, so 'basic.mk' was built in one thread. But now that we can build the core tools with GNU Make on macOS too, it uses all threads. Furthermore, since we now run 'basic.mk' with GNU Make, we can use '.ONESHELL' and don't have to finish every line of a long rule with a backslash to keep variables and such. Generally, the pre-make software are now organized like this: first we build Lzip before anything else: it is downloaded as a simple '.tar' file that is not compressed (only ~400kb). Once Lzip is built, the pre-make phase continues with building GNU Make, Dash (a minimalist shell) and Flock. All of their tarballs are in '.tar.lz'. Maneage then enters 'basic.mk' and the first program it builds is GNU Gzip (itself packaged as '.tar.lz'). Once Gzip is built, we build all the other compression software (all downloaded as '.tar.gz'). Afterwards, any compression standard for other software is fine because we have it. In the process, a bug related to using backup servers was found in 'reproduce/analysis/bash/download-multi-try' for calling outside of 'basic.mk' and removed Bash-specific features. As a result of that bug-fix, because we now have multiple servers for software tarballs, the backup servers now have their own configuration file in 'reproduce/software/config/servers-backup.conf'. This makes it much easier to maintain the backup server list across the multiple places that we need it. Some other minor fixes: - In building Bzip2, we need to specify 'CC' so it doesn't use 'gcc'. - In building Zip, the 'generic_gcc' Make option caused a crash on FreeBSD (which doesn't have GCC). - We are now using 'uname -s' to specify if we are on a Linux kernel or not, if not, we are still using the old 'on_mac_os' variable. - While I was trying to build on FreeBSD, I noticed some further corrections that could help. For example the 'makelink' Make-function now takes a third argument which can be a different name compared to the actual program (used for examle to make a link to '/usr/bin/cc' from 'gcc'. - Until now we didn't know if the host's Make implementation supports placing a '@' at the start of the recipe (to avoid printing the actual commands to standard output). Especially in the tarball download phase, there are many lines that are printed for each download which was really annoying. We already used '@' in 'high-level.mk' and 'python.mk' before, but now that we also know that 'basic.mk' is called with our custom GNU Make, we can use it at the start for a cleaner stdout. - Until now, WCSLIB assumed a Fortran compiler, but when the user is on a system where we can't install GCC (or has activated the '--host-cc' option), it may not be present and the project shouldn't break because of this. So with this commit, when a Fortran compiler isn't present, WCSLIB will be built with the '--disable-fortran' configuration option. This commit (task #15667) was completed with help/checks by Raul Infante-Sainz and Boud Roukema.
2020-05-22Corrected copyright notices to fit GPL suggested formatMohammad Akhlaghi-8/+11
In time, some of the copyright license description had been mistakenly shortened to two paragraphs instead of the original three that is recommended in the GPL. With this commit, they are corrected to be exactly in the same three paragraph format suggested by GPL. The following files also didn't have a copyright notice, so one was added for them: reproduce/software/make/README.md reproduce/software/bibtex/healpix.tex reproduce/analysis/config/delete-me-num.conf reproduce/analysis/config/verify-outputs.conf
2020-04-20Maneage instead of Template in README-hacking.md and copyright noticesMohammad Akhlaghi-8/+8
Until now, throughout Maneage we were using the old name of "Reproducible Paper Template". But we have finally decided to use Maneage, so to avoid confusion, the name has been corrected in `README-hacking.md' and also in the copyright notices. Note also that in `README-hacking.md', the main Maneage branch is now called `maneage', and the main Git remote has been changed to `https://gitlab.com/maneage/project' (this is a new GitLab Group that I have setup for all Maneage-related projects). In this repository there is only one `maneage' branch to avoid complications with the `master' branch of the projects using Maneage later.
2020-02-11Using backup server when original download server failsMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+21
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.
2020-01-01Copyright statements updated to include 2020Mohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
Now that its 2020, its necessary to include this year in the copyright statements.
2019-10-02Possibile to use download-multi-try script without locksMohammad Akhlaghi-4/+11
Until now, this script would always only work with a file-lock. But in some scenarios, we might want to download in parallel. For example when the system has multiple ports to the internet. With this commit, we have added this feature: when the lockfile name is `nolock', it won't lock and will download in parallel.
2019-05-09download-multi-try now starts with a /bin/bash shebangMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+2
Until now, the `download-multi-try' script assumed GNU Bash features (when comparing the number of attempts at downloading), but it didn't explicitly ask the operating system to be run with Bash. As a result, when weaker shells were used (like the default Debian minimalist `dash' shell), the `>' ("larger than" operator in a math context) is interpreted a redirection and two extra files are created: `1' and `maxcount'! With this commit, we now start this script with `/bin/bash'. Ofcourse, this will assume that the host has GNU Bash installed, but we are also making this assumption in the configure script. So atleast for now, Bash (any version) is a critical dependency of this template anyway.
2019-04-15New architecture to separate software-building and analysis stepsMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+112
Until now, the software building and analysis steps of the pipeline were intertwined. However, these steps (of how to build a software, and how to use it) are logically completely independent. Therefore with this commit, the pipeline now has a new architecture (particularly in the `reproduce' directory) to emphasize this distinction: The `reproduce' directory now has the two `software' and `analysis' subdirectories and the respective parts of the previous architecture have been broken up between these two based on their function. There is also no more `src' directory. The `config' directory for software and analysis is now mixed with the language-specific directories. Also, some of the software versions were also updated after some checks with their webpages. This new architecture will allow much more focused work on each part of the pipeline (to install the software and to run them for an analysis).
