2021-01-09Imported recent changes in Maneage, minor single conflict fixedMohammad Akhlaghi-20/+33
There was a single conflict in the comments of one part of 'configure.sh' that has been fixed. There was also a single place that needed to convert 'BDIR' to 'badir' in this project (so after the merge, it also built easily).
2021-01-09IMPORTANT: analysis outputs written in BDIR/analysisMohammad Akhlaghi-20/+33
Until now, the build directory contained a 'software/' directory (that hosted all the built software), a 'tex/' subdirectory for the final building of the paper, and many other directories containing intermediate/final data of the specific project. But this mixing of built software and data is against our modularity and minimal complexity principles: built software and built data are separate things and keeping them separate will enable many optimizations. With this commit, the build directory of the core Maneage branch will only contain two sub-directories: 'software/' and 'analysis/'. The 'software/' directory has the same contents as before and is not touched in this commit. However, the 'analysis/' directory is new and everything created in the './project make' phase of the project will be created inside of this directory. To facilitate easy access to these top-level built directories, two new variables are defined at the top of 'initialize.mk': 'badir', which is short for "built-analysis directory" and 'bsdir', which is short for "built-software directory". HOW TO IMPLEMENT THIS CHANGE IN YOUR PROJECT. It is easy: simply replace all occurances of '$(BDIR)' in your project's subMakefiles (except the ones below) to '$(badir)'. To confirm if everything is fine before building your project from scratch after merging, you can run the following command to see where 'BDIR' is used and confirm the only remaning cases. $ grep -r BDIR reproduce/analysis/* --> make/verify.mk: innobdir=$$(echo $$infile | sed -e's|$(BDIR)/||g'); \ --> make/initialize.mk:badir=$(BDIR)/analysis --> make/initialize.mk:bsdir=$(BDIR)/software --> make/initialize.mk: $$sys_rm -rf $(BDIR) --> make/top-prepare.mk:all: $(BDIR)/software/preparation-done.mk 'BDIR' should only be present in lines of the files above. If you see '$(BDIR)' used anywhere else, simply change it to '$(badir)'. Ofcourse, if your project assumes BDIR in other contexts, feel free to keep it, it will not conflict. If anything un-expected happens, please post a comment on the link below (you need to be registered on Savannah to post a comment): https://savannah.nongnu.org/task/?15855 One consequence of this change is that the 'analysis/' subdirectory can be optionally mounted on a separate partition. The need for this actually came up for some new users of Maneage in a Docker image. Docker can fix portability problems on systems that we haven't yet supported (even Windows!), or had a chance to fix low-level issues on. However, Docker doesn't have a GUI interface. So to see the built PDF or intermediate data, it was necessary to copy the built data to the host system after every change, which is annoying during working on a project. It would also need two copies of the source: one in the host, one in the container. All these frustrations can be fixed with this new feature. To describe this scenario, README.md now has a new section titled "Only software environment in the Docker image". It explains step-by-step how you can make a Docker image to only host the built software environment. While your project's source, software tarballs and 'BDIR/analysis' directories are on your host operating system. It has been tested before this commit and works very nicely.
2021-01-05appendix.bbl is now included in make dist tarballMohammad Akhlaghi-4/+7
Since the addition of the appendix bibliography we hadn't checked the 'make dist' command, as a result the PDF couldn't be built. With this commit, in the 'dist' rule, we are now also copying 'appendix.bbl' and the created tarball could build the PDF properly. Also the 'peer-review' directory is now also included in the tarball created by './project make dist'. I also found a small typo in the description of Occam (an 'a' was missing) and fixed it.
2021-01-03Imported recent updates in Maneage, minor conflicts fixedMohammad Akhlaghi-6/+24
There were only three very small conflicts that have been fixed.
2021-01-02Supplement (containing appendices) optionally built separatelyMohammad Akhlaghi-15/+6
Until now, the build strategy of the paper was to have a single output PDF that either contains (1) the full paper with appendices in the same paper (2) only the main body of the paper with no appencies. But the editor in chief of CiSE recently recommended publishing the appendices as supplements that is a separate PDF (on its webpage). So with this commit, the project can make either (1) a single PDF (containing both the main body and the appendices) that will be published on arXiv and will be the default output (this is the same as before). (2) two PDFs: one that is only the main body of the paper and another that is only the appendices. Since the appendices will be printed as a PDF in any case now, the old '--no-appendix' option has been replaced by '--supplement'. Also, the internal shell/TeX variable 'noappendix' has been renamed to 'separatesupplement'.
2021-01-02./project make: new texclean targetMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+6
Until now there was only a 'clean' (to delete all files created during the 'make' phase) and the 'distclean' (to delete all files during configuration and make). But sometimes we don't want to delete all the files created during the full 'make' phase, we only want to delete the files that were created by LaTeX for building the paper. Witht this commit, a new target has been added for this job. You can now run the following command for this job: ./project make texclean Only the files in '$(BDIR)/tex/build' will be deleted (and the 'tikz' directory under that location is recreated, ready for a future build).
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.
2020-12-14Better warnings when maneage branch not present and PDF not builtMohammad Akhlaghi-5/+23
Until now, there was no warning when the 'maneage' branch didn't exist in the Git history. This can happen when you forget to push the 'maneage' branch to a remote for your project, and you later clone your project from that remote (for example on another computer). We use the 'maneage' branch to report the latest commit hash and date in the final paper (which can greatly help future readers). Since we check the 'maneage' branch on every run of './project make' (in 'initialize.mk') this would result in a printed statement like this: fatal: Not a valid object name maneage Also until now, the description of what to do when TeXLive wasn't installed properly wasn't complete: it didn't mention that it is necessary to delete the TeXLive target files. This could confuse users (they would re-run './project configure -e', but with no effect). With this commit, for the 'maneage' branch issue a complete warning will be printed. Telling the user what to do to get the 'maneage' branch (and thus fix this warning). Also, the LaTeX macros that go in the paper are now red when the 'maneage' branch doesn't exist, telling the user to see the printed warning (thus encouraging the user to get the branch). For the TeXLive issue, the necessary commands to run are now also printed in the warning.
2020-12-01Imported recent work in Maneage, minor conflicts fixedMohammad Akhlaghi-13/+11
Some minor conflicts that came up during the merge were fixed.
2020-12-01Default paper: macros available for date of commits citedMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+5
Until now, Maneage only provided the commit hashes (of the project and Maneage) as LaTeX macros to use in your paper. However, they are too cryptic and not really human friendly (unless you have access to the Git history on a computer). With this commit, to make things easier for the readers, the date of both commits are also available as LaTeX macros for use in the paper. The date of the Maneage commit is also included in the acknowledgements. Also, the paragraph above the acknowledgements has been updated with better explanation on why adding this acknowledgement in the science papers is good/necessary.
2020-11-23First draft of all the points addressed by the refereesMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+6
A new directory has been added at the top of the project's source called 'peer-review'. The raw reviews of the paper by the editors and referees has been added there as '1-review.txt'. All the main points raised by the referees have been listed in a numbered list and addressed (mostly) in '1-answers.txt'. The text of the paper now also includes all the implemented answers to the various points.
2020-11-15First edits on the newly added appendices in new formMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+3
With the optional appendices added recently to the paper, it was important to go through them and make them more fitting into the paper.
2020-10-18Recipes for final initialize and verify targets not on stdoutMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+5
The LaTeX macro files for these two subMakefiles are created on every run of './project make'. So their commands are also printed every time and hardly ever will a normal user want to modify or change these. So to avoid populating the standard output of a Maneaged project with all these extra lines every time (possibly getting mixed with the important analysis or LaTeX outputs), an '@' has been placed at the start of the recipes. With an '@' at the start of the recipe, Make is instructed to not print the commands it wants to run in the standard output.
2020-09-24Gnuastro's analysis configuration files removedMohammad Akhlaghi-5/+2
Until now, the core Maneage branch included some configuration files for Gnuastro's programs. This was actually a remnant of the distant past when Maneage didn't actually build its own software and we had to rely on the host's software versions. This file contained the configuration files specific to Gnuastro for this project and also had a feature to avoid checking the host's own configuration files. However, we now build all our software ourselves with fixed configuration files (for the version that is being installed and its version is stored). So those extra configuration files were just extra and caused confusion and problems in some scenarios. With this commit, those extra files are now removed. Also, two small issues are also addressed in parallel with this commit: - When running './project make clean', the 'hardware-parameters.tex' macro file (which is created by './project configure' is not deleted. - The project title is now written into the default output's PDF's properties (through 'hypersetup' in 'tex/src/preamble-header.tex') through the LaTeX macro. All these issues were found and fixed with the help of Samane Raji.
2020-08-20Imported recent updates in Maneage, minor conflicts fixedMohammad Akhlaghi-17/+48
Some very minor conflicts came up and were easily corrected. They were mostly in parts that are also shared with the demonstration in the core Maneage branch.
2020-08-02initialize.mk: accounting for no maneage branchBoud Roukema-3/+8
One of the LaTeX macros reported by 'initialize.mk' is the git commit hash of the most recent 'maneage' branch that the project has been branched from. However, not all projects will retain the maneage reference. This can happen for example when people don't push the 'maneage' reference to their repository and then clone from their own repository to a second computer. Therefore, until now, in such situations, Maneage would break with an error. With this commit, in such scenarios, a place holder string is used instead, clearly highlighting that there is no 'maneage' reference.
2020-07-20make dist: only archive files that are under version controlBoud Roukema-17/+31
Until this commit, the '$(project-package-contents)' rules in 'reproduce/analysis/make/initialize.mk' included a line to provide all contents, recursively, of the directory 'reproduce/' in the package for further distribution. This could potentially lead to the distribution of private working files that are used during development and not intended for general distribution. With this commit, only those files in 'reproduce/' and 'tex/src' that are under version control are copied to the temporary directory (that is later used for creating an archive). With this change, the archiving commands actually became more clean (we don't have to manually remove 'LOCAL.conf' or other temporary files). Extensive comments have also been added above each step to clarify each step's purpose and method.
2020-07-07Project distribution tarball can account for no PDFs in tex/tikzMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+6
Until now the './project make dist' command implicitly assumed that the 'tex/tikz' directory always contains PDF files (because of the 'cp tex/tikz/*.pdf $$dir/tex/tikz' line). This was annoying for projects that don't use TiKZ or PGFPlots to generate their plots, and they had to manually comment this line. With this commit a check has been placed to see if any PDF files exist in there at all. If there aren't PDF files, the 'cp' command above is ignored.
2020-07-04Commit hash of Maneage branch used to build project as LaTeX macroMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+6
To help in the documentation, the Git hash of the Maneage branch commit that the project has most recently merged with (or branched from) is now also provided as a LaTeX macro ('\maneageversion'). It is calculated in 'reproduce/analysis/make/initialize.mk' (in the recipe to 'initialize.tex').
2020-06-30The distclean target accounts for non-existance of git hooksMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
Until now, when the user wanted to complete remove all built files (including software), the './project make distclean' command would fail if the git hooks weren't installed. They are present when the project's configuration has been successfully finished, but this bug can happen when trying to re-do an incomplete build. With this commit, this is fixed by adding an '-f' has been added before the 'rm' command for the Git hooks. This commit was also done in the core Maneage branch.

2020-06-28Zenodo identifier is extracted automatically from metadata.confMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+4
Until now, the Zenodo identifier was manually written in the paper. But now we have the Zenodo DOI in 'metadata.conf', so its much more robust to get it from there (in case updated versions of the paper is published).
2020-06-27Imported recent work in master, minor conflict fixed in paper.mkMohammad Akhlaghi-6/+3
Only two conflicts came up in the newly added comments of 'paper.mk' in the Maneage branch. It happened because in this project we don't use 'pdflatex', but 'latex' alone.
2020-06-19Removing preparation-done.mk when cleaning by ./project make cleanRaul Infante-Sainz-0/+1
Until this commit, the file `BDIR/software/preparation-done.mk' were not removed when cleaning the project with `./project make clean'. This file is generated in the preparation of the data during the analysis step. However, the cleaning is expected to remove anything generated in the analysis process! Step by step, with the commands: ./project make ---> Will make the preparation and analysis ./project make clean ---> Will remove all analysis outputs (but not `preparation-done.mk') ./project make ---> Won't do the preparation, only analysis! However, in the last step it should do the preparation again, because the input data could have change for any reason. With this commit, the file `BDIR/software/preparation-done.mk' is removed when cleaning the project, and consequently, in the analysis step the input data is prepared.
2020-06-17New target --dist-software to package all necessary software tarballsMohammad Akhlaghi-6/+2
When publishing a project, it is necessary to also publish the source code of all necessary software of the project. We had recently added a new './project make' target called 'dist-software' for this job, but had forgotten to add it in the output of './project --help'! There was also a small bug inside of it that didn't allow the successful copying of the created tarball to the top project directory. With this commit, an explanation for this target has been added in the output of './project --help' and that bug has been fixed.
2020-06-09Minor edit printing arXiv URL in plain text metadataMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
Until now, in the 'print-copyright' function of 'initialize.mk' (that prints a fixed set of common meta necessary in plain-text files), we were simply printing this line: # Pre-print server: arXiv:1234.56789 But given that all the other elements are click-able URLs, it now prints: # Pre-print server: https://arxiv.org/abs/1234.56789
2020-06-09Imported Maneage, minor conflicts fixed, a bug found and fixedMohammad Akhlaghi-27/+88
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-24/+111
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.
2020-06-04Minor improvements in the make dist command for this paperMohammad Akhlaghi-4/+7
This paper doesn't use pdflatex or biblatex, so it was necessary to make some small corrections in the make-dist rule of initialize.mk. Also, while testing the upload on arXiv, I noticed that it complains about an empty 'verify.tex' file, so that is also corrected.
2020-06-04Verification activated, README added, Proper metadata in plot dataMohammad Akhlaghi-7/+30
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.
2020-06-03Imported recent updated in Maneage, minor conflict fixedMohammad Akhlaghi-8/+11
The minor conflict was with 'reproduce/software/make/high-level.mk', and in particular because we implemented the fix to Maneage's Task #15664 in this project first. After it was moved to the main Maneage branch some minor stylistic corrections were done to it, thus causing the conflict. To resolve the conflict, I simply imported the full Maneage version of the file with this command: git checkout maneage -- reproduce/software/make/high-level.mk The other conflicts were due to the deleted files (that were resolved as described in 'README-hacking.md') and the LaTeX files that I had told '.gitattributes' to ignore from the Maneage branch.
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
2020-05-01Imported recent changes in Maneage, minor conflicts fixedMohammad Akhlaghi-12/+9
A few small conflicts showed up here and there. They are fixed with this merge.
2020-04-26Corrected Gnuastro configuration directory in initialize.mkZahra Sharbaf-1/+1
Recently (in Commit 8eb0892e) the Gnuastro configuration files moved under "reproduce/analysis/config/gnuastro" directory (before that they were in `reproduce/software/config/gnuastro)'. But this hadn't been reflected in it the variable that defines this directory in `initialize.mk'. With this commit, the address of the Gnuastro configuration files directory is corrected, allowing Gnuastro programs to operate properly when it is used.
2020-04-20Maneage instead of Template in README-hacking.md and copyright noticesMohammad Akhlaghi-11/+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.
2020-04-17Imported recent work in Maneage, minor conflicts fixedMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+2
A few minor conflicts came up that were easily fixed.
2020-04-17IMPORTANT: software config directly under reproduce/software/configMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+2
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.
2020-04-14Added note with link to paper's distribution tarballMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+1
Since the journal doesn't accept supplementary files during initial submission, I have put this link on the PDF for the referee and editors to access if they want. Also the `tex/img' file was added to the distribution tarball.
2020-04-14Corrected package distribution step and not including BibLaTeX packagesMohammad Akhlaghi-3/+6
I was using some special Bash feature before to ignore the distribution directory itself when copying the files, but that had some problems, so I just used a simple for loop over a `find' command to ignore it. Also, for now, we don't need BibLaTeX sources in the project (that is primarily for arXiv), so to help the referee see a more cleaner contents of this supplement file.
2020-04-13Installation year removed from TeXLive installationMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
TeXLive recently transitioned from its 2019 version to its 2020 version thanks to Elham Saremi's trial of the this project. The fact that traditionally Maneage installs all TeXLive packages in a per-year directory is very annoying and required an update in the core Maneage system every year. So I suddently recognized that we can fix this by setting a different name for the directory holding the release year. This has been implemented with this commit. I have also done this change in the main Maneage branch for other projects to also benefit from this correction.
2020-04-13Configure (TeXLive): Year of distribution no longer in directoryMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
It is this time of year again: TeXLive has transitioned to its 2020 release and the year is imprinted into the installation directory of TeXLive. Until now, we have had to manually change this year and it caused complications and was very annoying. With this commit, the explicit year has been removed from TeXLive's installation and we now simply put a `maneage' instead of the year. I tried this on another system and it worked nicely. Until the time that we can fully install LaTeX packages from source tarballs, this is the best thing we could do for now.
2020-04-02Imported recent work on Maneage, minor conflicts fixedMohammad Akhlaghi-6/+13
A few minor conflicts occurred and were fixed.
2020-02-01IMPORTANT: reproduce/software/bash renamed to reproduce/software/shellMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+2
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'.
2020-01-31Configure step: compiler checks done before basic settingsMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+6
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.
2020-01-20IMPORTANT!!! Configuration Makefiles now have a .conf suffixMohammad Akhlaghi-4/+5
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.
2020-01-18Raw draft (until now as a separate repository) importedMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+1
Until now, I was writing the paper without the template. But we will soon be adding a tutorial to the template, and I thought it will be good to have an example demonstration here too. So I just brought the hole project into the template structure, allowing us to add the template analysis later when its ready, and also allowing us to easily reproduce this paper ofcourse (without having to worry about the host's TeXLive installation.
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.
2019-10-31Minor corrections in distribution and autoconf prerequisite of automakeMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+1
Some minor corrections were made in the template: - When making the distribution, `.swp' files (created by Vim) are also removed. - Autoconf is set as a prerequisite of Automake I was also trying to add the Apache log4cxx, but its default 0.10.0 tarball needs some patches, so I have just left it half done until someone actually needs it and we apply the patch.
2019-10-19Minor improvments in packaging of project with make distMohammad Akhlaghi-12/+14
The steps to package the project have been made slightly more clear and also the temporary directory that is created for packaging is deleted after the tarball is made.
2019-10-11Properly working make clean when in group modeMohammad Akhlaghi-3/+4
Until now, when you ran `make clean', all the directories under `$(BDIR)/tex/' would be deleted except for `macros' and `build'. This was good for the single-user mode. But in group mode, this would delete the user-specific TeX build directory because its called `build-USER', not `build'. With this commit, to fix the problem, we define the new `texbtopdir' and based on the group condition, and use that to specify which directory to not delete.
