2020-06-10Corrected bug in using local copy of input datasetMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+32
As described in Maneage's commit 2bd2e2f18 (which I found while testing this project), the existing download recipe had problems when using a local copy of the input dataset. It was first fixed here, then implemented there. Also, to clarify things for a new user, some long comments were added at the top of 'INPUTS.conf' to describe each of the variables, that comment has also been put here (and is also in commit 2bd2e2f18 of Maneage).
2020-06-09Imported Maneage, minor conflicts fixed, a bug found and fixedMohammad Akhlaghi-16/+25
Some minor conflicts came up in 'initialize.mk' and 'verify.mk'. For the former, I chose the version on Maneage, for the latter, I kept the 'master' version on the checksums of this project, but kept the Maneage version for the rest of the improvements there (like printing the verified files as LaTeX comments in 'verify.tex'. While testing the conflicts, I noticed a bug (in the LaTeX macro for the number of years in the Menke+20 paper) in the previous build, thanks to the verification step :-)! Fortunately it wasn't actually printed in the PDF, so a normal reader won't recognize. The bug was caused by the recently added meta-data/commented lines in the 'tools-per-year.txt' file: when calculating the number of years studied in that paper, we were simply counting all the lines and we had forgot to correct this after adding comments. As a result, the un-used LaTeX macro file was saying that they have studied 47 years instead of the real 31 years! This element was actually used in the very first (+40 page!) draft of the paper that was summarized to fit into the journal limits.
2020-06-06IMPORTANT: Added publication checklist, improved relevant infrastructureMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+26
Possible semantic conflicts (that may not show up as Git conflicts but may cause a crash in your project after the merge): 1) The project title (and other basic metadata) should be set in 'reproduce/analysis/conf/metadata.conf'. Please include this file in your merge (if it is ignored because of '.gitattributes'!). 2) Consider importing the changes in 'initialize.mk' and 'verify.mk' (if you have added all analysis Makefiles to the '.gitattributes' file (thus not merging any change in them with your branch). For example with this command: git diff master...maneage -- reproduce/analysis/make/initialize.mk 3) The old 'verify-txt-no-comments-leading-space' function has been replaced by 'verify-txt-no-comments-no-space'. The new function will also remove all white-space characters between the columns (not just white space characters at the start of the line). Thus the resulting check won't involve spacing between columns. A common set of steps are always necessary to prepare a project for publication. Until now, we would simply look at previous submissions and try to follow them, but that was prone to errors and could cause confusion. The internal infrastructure also didn't have some useful features to make good publication possible. Now that the submission of a paper fully devoted to the founding criteria of Maneage is complete (arXiv:2006.03018), it was time to formalize the necessary steps for easier submission of a project using Maneage and implement some low-level features that can make things easier. With this commit a first draft of the publication checklist has been added to 'README-hacking.md', it was tested in the submission of arXiv:2006.03018 and zenodo.3872248. To help guide users on implementing the good practices for output datasets, the outputs of the default project shown in the paper now use the new features). After reading the checklist, please inspect these. Some other relevant changes in this commit: - The publication involves a copy of the necessary software tarballs. Hence a new target ('dist-software') was also added to package all the project's software tarballs in one tarball for easy distribution. - A new 'dist-lzip' target has been defined for those who want to distribute an Lzip-compressed tarball. - The '\includetikz' LaTeX macro now has a second argument to allow configuring the '\includegraphics' call when the plot should not be built, but just imported.
2020-06-04Verification activated, README added, Proper metadata in plot dataMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+25
All the steps following the to-be-added (in 'README-hacking.md') publication checklist prior to the final check from new clone have been added: - 'README.md' file has been set. - "Reproducible supplement" was added just above the keywords, pointing to Zenodo. - A link to the to-be-uploaded data underlying the plot was added in the caption of the tools-per-year plot. - A new meta-data configuration file was added to store basic project metadata to be used throughout the project. This will later be taken into Maneage. For examle the project title is now stored here and written into the paper's LaTeX source and output datasets automatically. - Verification was activated and plot's data and LaTeX macro files are now automatically verified. - A complete metadata was added for the data underlying the plot. - A generic function was added in 'initialize.mk' that will automatically write project info and copyright in all plain-text outputs.
2020-05-22Corrected copyright notices to fit GPL suggested formatMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+16
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
2020-05-22Re-write of the paper to fit in ~6000 words and IEEE formatMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+0
Following the fact that the DSJ editor decided that this paper doesn't fit into their scope, we decided to submit it to IEEE's Computing in Science and Engineering (CiSE). So with this commit the text was re-written to fit into their style and word-count limitations.
2020-05-01Imported recent changes in Maneage, minor conflicts fixedMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
A few small conflicts showed up here and there. They are fixed with this merge.
2020-04-26verify-outputs.conf: typo correction in comment to avoid confusionBoud Roukema-1/+1
Until now, the comment in the file said that setting the `verify-outputs` variable to `yes` disables the verification. Looking at `reproduce/analysis/make/verify.mk` shows that the opposite is true. With this commit, the word `disable` is replaced with `enable` so that the user is not confused by the conflict between the source code in the other file and this comment.
2020-04-17Imported recent work in Maneage, minor conflicts fixedMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+128
A few minor conflicts came up that were easily fixed.
2020-04-17IMPORTANT: software config directly under reproduce/software/configMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+128
Until now the software configuration parameters were defined under the `reproduce/software/config/installation/' directory. This was because the configuration parameters of analysis software (for example Gnuastro's configurations) were placed under there too. But this was terribly confusing, because the run-time options of programs falls under the "analysis" phase of the project. With this commit, the Gnuastro configuration files have been moved under the new `reproduce/analysis/config/gnuastro' directory and the software configuration files are directly under `reproduce/software/config'. A clean build was done with this change and it didn't crash, but it may cause crashes in derived projects, so after merging with Maneage, please re-configure your project to see if anything has been missed. Please let us know if there is a problem.
2020-04-02Imported recent work on Maneage, minor conflicts fixedMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+0
A few minor conflicts occurred and were fixed.
2020-03-23Analysis and configuration file sections completeMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+3
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.
2020-03-02Described the first analysis phase with a demo subMakefileMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
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.
2020-02-16Menke+2020 data is now imported and ready for later steps in plain textMohammad Akhlaghi-4/+4
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.
2020-01-20IMPORTANT!!! Configuration Makefiles now have a .conf suffixMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+0
Until now, the configuration Makefiles (in `reproduce/software/config/installation' and `reproduce/analysis/config') had a `.mk' suffix, similar to the workhorse Makefiles. Although they are indeed Makefiles, but given their nature (to only keep configuration parameters), it is confusing (especially to early users) for them to also have a `.mk' (similar to the analysis or software building Makefiles). To address this issue, with this commit, all the configuration Makefiles (in those directories) are now given a `.conf' suffix. This is also assumed for all the files that are loaded. The configuration (software building) and running of the template have been checked with this change from scratch, but please report any error that may not have been noticed. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT CHANGE AND WILL CAUSE CRASHES OR UNEXPECTED BEHAVIORS FOR PROJECTS THAT HAVE BRANCHED FROM THIS TEMPLATE. PLEASE CORRECT THE SUFFIX OF ALL YOUR PROJECT'S CONFIGURATION MAKEFILES (IN THE DIRECTORIES ABOVE), OTHERWISE THEY AREN'T AUTOMATICALLY LOADED ANYMORE.
2020-01-18First set of customizations doneMohammad Akhlaghi-3/+1
The unnecessary parts were removed and the project now runs.
2020-01-01Verification of output values and data added within templateMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+3
Until now, the only verification that the template provided was the published PDF. Users had to manually compare the published and generated PDFs (numbers, plots, tables) and see if they obtained the same result. However, this type of manual verification is not good and is prone to frustration and missing important differences. With this commit, a new Makefile has been added in the analysis steps: `verify.mk'. It provides facilities to easily verify the results that go into the paper. For example tables that go into making the paper's plots, or the LaTeX macros that blend into the text. See the updated parts in `README-hacking.md` for a more complete explanation. This completes task #15497.
2020-01-01Copyright statements updated to include 2020Mohammad Akhlaghi-2/+2
Now that its 2020, its necessary to include this year in the copyright statements.
2019-06-29Added citation for TIDES, sorted progs alphabeticallyMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
While reviewing Prasenjit's commits, I noticed that we had forgot to add the citation for TIDES, also to make things clear, the program/library build rules are now sorted alphabetically. Finally, I noticed that after building the TiKZ PDF figures, it is crashing (like on Prasenjit's computer). After looking around, I noticed its because we were setting the of the `TEXINPUTS' environment variable to be the installed TeX Live directory (which was ultimately redundant because by default TeX will look into where it was installed). The important thing is just that we remove any possible value the host system has, not to set new directories.
2019-06-28tides library addedPrasenjit Saha-1/+1
TIDES is an ODE integrator with multiple-precision arithmetic.
2019-04-15New architecture to separate software-building and analysis stepsMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+38
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).
