Summary:
- Use the new name of this variable in your Makefiles.
- In 'metadata.conf', remove fixed URL prefixes for DOIs
('https://doi.org/') or arXiv ('https://arxiv.org/abs').
Until now, the Make variable that would print the general metadata (of
whole project) into each to-be-published dataset was called
'print-copyright'! But it now does much more than simply printing the
copyright, it will also print a lot of metadata like arXiv ID, Zenodo DOI
and etc into plain-text outputs. The out-dated name could thus be
misleading and cause confusions.
With this commit, the variable is therefore called
'print-general-metadata'. After merging your project with the Maneage
branch, please replace any usage of 'print-copyright' to
'print-general-metadata'.
Also with this commit, 'README-hacking.md' mentions 'metadata.conf' and
'print-general-metadata' in the "Publication checklist" section and reminds
you to keep the first up to date, and use the second in your
to-be-published datasets.

In the previous commit, some Gnuastro-specific initializations were
removed but a few more cases remained that are removed with this
commit.

Until now, important LaTeX packages like 'caption' (for managing figure
captions), 'hyperref' (for managing links) and 'xcolor' (for managing
colors) were being loaded inside the optional
'tex/src/preamble-maneagge-defualt-style.tex' file. We recommend to remove
this file from loading when you use custom journal sytels. However, these
packages will often be necessary after loading special journal styles also.
With this commit, these packages are now loaded into LaTeX as part of the
'tex/src/preamble-project.tex' file. This file is in charge of LaTeX
settings that are custom to the project and independent of its style.
Several other small corrections are made with this commit:
- I noticed that './project make texclean' crashes if no PDF exists in the
working directory! So a '-f' was added to the 'rm' command of the
'texclean' rule.
- As part of the LaTeX Hyperref, we can set general metadata or properties
for the PDF (that aren't written into the printable PDF, but into the
file metadata). They can be viewed in many PDF viewers as PDF
properties. Until now, we were only using the '\projecttitle' macro here
to write the paper's title. However, thanks to the recently added
'reproduce/analysis/config/metadata.conf', we now have a lot of useful
information that can also go here. So the 'metadata-copyright-owner' is
now used to define the PDF author, and the project's
'metadata-git-repository' and commit hash are written into the PDF
subject. But to import these, it was necessary to define them as LaTeX
macros, hence the addition of these macros in 'initialize.mk'.
- Some extra packages that aren't necessary to build the default PDF were
removed in 'preamble-project.tex'.

Until now, when you ran './project make dist', first it would delete the
temporary files (like files ending in '~' or '.swp' created by some
editors), then it had a place to add project-specific operations for the
distribution.
However, in the process of cleaning the temporary files, it would 'cd' into
the directory that would later be packaged. So project-specific operations
would first have to 'cd' back into the top source directory. This was prone
to hard-to-find bugs.
With this commit, to avoid the problem the project-specific operations are
now placed before the cleaning phase. This is also technically good because
in the project-specific operations there may also be temporary files that
shouldn't go into the distribution tarball.

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.

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).
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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').
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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
|
|
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.

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
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
Now that its 2020, its necessary to include this year in the copyright
statements.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
A special directory is now defined in `initialize.mk' that can be used in
both the preparation and build phases. Also, the contents of prepared
results can now be conditionally read during `./project make'.
|
|
Until now, we were assuming that the users would just clone the project in
Git. But after submitting arXiv:1909.11230, and trying to build directly
from the arXiv source, I noticed several problems that wouldn't allow users
to build it automatically. So I tried the build step by step and was able
to find a fix for the several issues that came up.
The scripting parts of the fix were primarily related to the fact that the
unpacked arXiv tarball isn't under version control, so some checks had to
be put there. Also, we wanted to make it easy to remove the extra files, so
an extra `--clean-texdit' option was added to `./project'.
Finally, some manual corrections were necessary (prior to running
`./project', which are now described in `README.md'. Most of the later
steps can be automated and we should do it later, I just don't have enough
time now.
|
|
Until now, the pipeline was instructed to only ignore the current temporary
project distribution directory. So if there were directories from previous
builds, they were wrongly included in the current tarball.
With this commit, we don't just ignore the directory of the current
distribution, but generally, all directories starting with `paper-v*'.
|
|
Until now, when the commit was tagged, `git describe' would just print the
tag and no longer the commit checksum. This is bad because the checksum is
a much more robust way to confirm the point in history.
With this commit the `--long' option has been added to `git describe' to
fix this issue. From now on, when we are on a tag, it will print the tag
followed by a `-0-' and the first characters of the checksum.
|
|
`./project make dist' will package all the LaTeX-specific files (and
analysis source files) into one `tar.gz' file that is ready to upload to
servers like arXiv. However, it wasn't updated for some time, so running it
would complain about not having a `configure' script in the top of the
project.
With this commit, it now works with the new file-structure of the project
and also copies all the BibLaTeX source files and `paper.bbl' into the top
tarball directory, which allows arXiv to build the paper as intended.
The output of `./project make dist' has been uploaded and tested on arXiv
and it is built by arXiv perfectly.
Also, a short description of all the special `make' targets was added to
the output of `./project --help'.
|
|
Until now, OpenMPI would complain about not having `ssh' or `rsh' as a
remote shell feature. However, such features should not be necessary in a
reproducible scenario and they also have major security issues.
With this commit, we are now using OpenMPI's `OMPI_MCA_plm_rsh_agent'
environment variable to disable any remote shell dependency for it (as
suggested by Boud). Therefore, any dependency for OpenSSH has been
removed. But I thought to keep the build instructions incase it may be
useful under some un-foreseen scenario. However, to discourage people from
building it, a notice was added ontop of the build instructions.
This bug was found, tested and solved thanks to Roberto Baena Gallé and
Boud Roukema.
This fixes bug #56724.
|
|
Until now, when you needed to completely clean a project (with `./project
make distclean') the Git hooks that are installed during configure time
would cause problems when committing (the `pre-commit' hook in particular
won't allow you to commit anything!).
With this commit, before deleting the software, the template first removes
these Git hooks.
|
|
Until now the only way to define the environment of the Make recipes was
through the exported Make variables (mostly in `initialize.mk' for the
analysis steps for example). However, there is only so much you can do with
environment variables! In some situations you want slightly more
complicated environment control, like setting an alias or running of
scripts (things that are commonly done in the `~/.bashrc' file of users to
configure their interactive, non-login shells).
With this commit, a `reproduce/software/bash/bashrc.sh' has been defined
for this job (which is currently empty!). Every major Make step of the
project adds this file as the `BASH_ENV' environment variable, so the shell
that is created to execute a recipe first executes this file, then the
recipe. Each top-level Makefile also defines a `PROJECT_STATUS' environment
variable that enables users to limit their envirnoment setup based on the
condition it is being setup (in particular in the early phase of
`basic.mk', where the user can't make any assumption about the programs and
has to write a portable shell script).
|
|
We recently moved the system's `rm' program absolute address to a shell
variable that is found during the `./project' script. But I had forgot to
account for the difference between the Make and Bash variable naming
differences. I had also forgot to add a value to the HOME variable.
With this commit both are corrected: the system's `rm' path is now called
`sys_rm' and the HOME variable is set.
|
|
Until now, to work on a project, it was necessary to `./configure' it and
build the software. Then we had to run `.local/bin/make' to run the project
and do the analysis every time. If the project was a shared project between
many users on a large server, it was necessary to call the `./for-group'
script.
This way of managing the project had a major problem: since the user
directly called the lower-level `./configure' or `.local/bin/make' it was
not possible to provide high-level control (for example limiting the
environment variables). This was especially noticed recently with a bug
that was related to environment variables (bug #56682).
With this commit, this problem is solved using a single script called
`project' in the top directory. To configure and build the project, users
can now run these commands:
$ ./project configure
$ ./project make
To work on the project with other users in a group these commands can be
used:
$ ./project configure --group=GROUPNAME
$ ./project make --group=GROUPNAME
The old options to both configure and make the project are still valid. Run
`./project --help' to see a list. For example:
$ ./project configure -e --host-cc
$ ./project make -j8
The old `configure' script has been moved to
`reproduce/software/bash/configure.sh' and is called by the new `./project'
script. The `./project' script now just manages the options, then passes
control to the `configure.sh' script. For the "make" step, it also reads
the options, then calls Make. So in the lower-level nothing has
changed. Only the `./project' script is now the single/direct user
interface of the project.
On a parallel note: as part of bug #56682, we also found out that on some
macOS systems, the `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable has to be set
to blank. This is no problem because RPATH is automatically set in macOS
and the executables and libraries contain the absolute address of the
libraries they should link with. But having `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH' can
conflict with some low-level system libraries and cause very hard to debug
linking errors (like that reported in the bug report).
This fixes bug #56682.

Until now we were only setting the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
for GNU/Linux systems. But macOS systems use the `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH'.
With this commit, for better control over the environment, we are also
fixing `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH' in all the places that we are setting the
general environment variables.

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.

Several corrections were necessary in the basic build: 1) the
version of GCC on some systems includes an `_' which would cause
a crash when building the PDF. 2) libcharset had to be manually
added to the Git build.

Until now, the `tex/build' symbolic link was put in the clone/source tree
when the build-directory's `tex' directory was being built. Thanks to
Roberto Baena, we just found a bug because of this behavior: when a second
group member is trying to build the pipeline, since the build directory's
`tex' directory already exists, no `tex/build' will be put in their
clone/source directory. As a result, the PDF building will crash.
To fix this (and keep things organized), the two `tex/build' and `tex/tikz'
links (to the build directory) are now built in the configure step while it
is building all the top-level directories. They are no longer built within
the Makefiles.
Also, a comment was added on top of every directory built during the
configuration phase to be clear.
This fixes bug #56362.

In a few cases, `reproduce/analysis/make/initialize.mk' still assumed the
old architecture. With this commit, they have been corrected.
|
|
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).
