2020-01-01Verification of output values and data added within templateMohammad Akhlaghi-5/+6
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-1/+1
Now that its 2020, its necessary to include this year in the copyright statements.
2019-07-28Single wrapper instead of old ./configure, Makefile and ./for-groupMohammad Akhlaghi-4/+2
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.
2019-06-29Added citation for TIDES, sorted progs alphabeticallyMohammad Akhlaghi-4/+4
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.
2019-05-21Source directory links to build directory all managed in configureMohammad Akhlaghi-3/+2
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.
2019-04-30End-of-line Backslashs no longer right under each otherMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
When we need to quote the new-line character we end the line with a backslash (`\'). Until now, our convention has been to put all such backslashes under each other to help in visual inspection. But this causes a lot of confusion in version control: if only one line's length is larger, the whole block will be marked as changed and thus makes it hard to visually see the actual change. It also makes debuging the code (adding some temporary lines) hard. With this commit, I went through all the files and tried to fix all such cases so only a single white space character is between the last command character and the backslash. Where there was an empty line (ending with a backslash, to help in visually separating the code into blocks), I put the backslash right under the previous line's. This completes task #15259.
2019-04-17Corrected bibtex entry for Astrometry-net and SwarpRaul Infante-Sainz-1/+1
Until now, there were erros in the citation of Astrometry-net and Scamp papers. With this commit, we fix these problems. The Swarp bibtex has also been modify to follow the stetic of the citation style we have right now in the project. We also added the `dependency-bib.tex' as a prerequisite of `paper.bbl'.
2019-04-15New architecture to separate software-building and analysis stepsMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+139
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).
