2019-05-27Software: CFITSIO 3.47, implemented many common standardsMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
Until now, CFITSIO had several peculiar features which needed special attention: 1) Its tarball didn't have a `.' in the version name and would sometimes have extra `0's. 2) When unpacked it was just `cfitsio'. 3) It hard coded the directory to search for cURL library. All of these forced us to do a lot of extra steps for CFITSIO. So I got in touch with them and fortunately they were very open to correcting these issues and with version 3.47 all such issues have been addressed in the tarball. Thanks to these changes, with this commit, CFITSIO's build rule is now very similar to many other programs. I also noticed that it has an optional `--with-bz2' feature to enable unpacking `.fits.bz2' files. So this feature is also added.
2019-05-24Added PyYAML Python package into the projectRaul Infante-Sainz-0/+1
With this commit, PyYAML Python package has been added into the project. It is widely used in the Python community and the goal is to have human readable configuration files. As in the web page (https://pypi.org/project/PyYAML/) says: YAML is a data serialization format designed for human readability and interaction with scripting languages. PyYAML is a YAML parser and emitter for Python.
2019-05-24Added LibYAML library into the projectRaul Infante-Sainz-0/+1
With this commit, LibYAML library has been added. This library is a prerequisite of the Python package PyYAML, which is widely used in the Python community when configuration scripts are needed.
2019-05-21ImageMagick is now included into the projectRaul Infante-Sainz-0/+1
With this commit, ImageMagick software has been added into the project. This software is useful to deal and treat images from the command line. Since it is widely used and a lot of other programs rely on it, it is worth to have it into the project.
2019-05-08TeXLive csquotes packages (needed by BibLaTeX) has been addedMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
In the warnings output by LaTeX during the building of a project, I noticed that `csquotes' is recommended for some features of BibLaTeX (a warning was printed) so it is added with this commit.
2019-05-05Visual alignment of software version numbers under eachother removedMohammad Akhlaghi-104/+104
Until now the software names and versions in `reproduce/software/config/installation/versions.mk' were placed such that all the versions were placed under each other. This had a visual effect, but since many of the software have shorter names, it could sometimes cause visual confusion on which number belongs to which software. Since we recently removed a similar situation with the backslashes, with this commit, there is only a single space between the variable name, `=' and the version number.
2019-05-05Upgraded to GCC 9.1Mohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
GCC 9.1 was just released and includes many new optimization features that can benefit projects in this template also. Also, the build directory of GCC has been moved inside the unpacked directory (similar to all the other programs). As a result, while GCC is being built, the `.build/software/build-tmp' directory will only have one directory for GCC. Until now, there was one `gcc-build' directory and one unpacked tarball.
2019-05-02Updated to TeXLive 2019Mohammad Akhlaghi-6/+6
Since we just download the binary source of TeXLive, we need to keep it up to date with the server. So it has been incremented to 2019 (TeXLive 2019 was released April 29th). A note was also added in the Checklist to keep the users informed on how to update TeXLive if necessary.
2019-04-30Imported some recent/parallel work, conflicts fixedMohammad Akhlaghi-4/+6
Especially because of the new convention regarding backslashes, there were many conflicts that are now fixed. But none were substantial.
2019-04-30End-of-line Backslashs no longer right under each otherMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+2
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.
2019-04-29Modified copyright information of some filesRaul Infante-Sainz-0/+2
With this commit, the copyright information of some files have been modify in order to include the work of Raul Infante-Sainz.
2019-04-27Libpng updated (version 1.6.37)Raul Infante-Sainz-3/+1
Until this commit, we were using `libpng' version 1.4.22 (out dated). The reason is that with `libpng` versions > 1.5, there was some problems with `netpbm'. But we have update `netpbm' version and now there is no conflict betweem them. With this commit, we increase the version of `libpng' to have the most recent one.
2019-04-27Modified netpbm installation answers for Mac OS systemsRaul Infante-Sainz-2/+4
Until now, we installed `netpbm' by setting the default paths to libraries and headers. That worked fine for GNU/Linux systems, however, in Mac OS systems we have to explicity say to `netpbm' questions what are the paths to the libraries and headers. We found this problem because we tried to run `solve-field' to obtain the astrometry of some images, and then it goes to use `pnmfile', a program that failed because it was not properly linked with `libnetpmb'. With this commit, we fix this problem by answering properly the questions in the configure step of `netpbm' and setting explicity where we want to place the libraries and headers. With this commit, we also update `netpbm' version. To do that, we have to download the last version, for which it doesn't exist a tarball. So, we built this tarball and put it in the Mohammad's webpage.
2019-04-24Imported work on mpmath, SymPy and sip_tpv, no conflictsMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+3
There wasn't any conflict in this merge.
2019-04-24Removed sip_tpv from TARGETS, now it is an optional packageRaul Infante-Sainz-1/+1
With this commit, we let the Python package `sip_tpv' to be optional in order to not install it by default. It is a very specific package and I forgot to remove it from `TARGETS.mk' in the previous commit.
2019-04-23Python package sip_tpv added into the templateRaul Infante-Sainz-1/+2
With this commit, we add `sip_tpv' Python package into the template. This is a small package to convert SIP distorsion coefficients into PV distorsion coefficients, and the other way around. This package is useful in a astronomical context, specially when `swarp' is going to be used in order to resample images. The reason is that `swarp' only can understand PV distorsion coefficients.
2019-04-23Python package SymPy added into the templateRaul Infante-Sainz-1/+1
With this commit, we add `sympy' Python package into the template. This is a package to do symbolic mathematics. The motivation is that it is a prerequisite of `sip_tpv' Python package, which is useful to convert SIP distorsion coefficients into PV coefficients (in the context of astronomical images). However, the availability of `sympy' in the template will be useful for anyone interested in this package.
2019-04-23Python package mpmath added into the templateRaul Infante-Sainz-1/+3
With this commit, we add `mpmath' Python package into the template. This package is a prerequisite of `sympy', a package to do symbolic mathematics. The motivation of adding this package is because it is a dependency of `sympy', which is more widely used into the Python science community.
2019-04-23Bash updated with patched tarball (version 5.0.7)Mohammad Akhlaghi-2/+2
Until now we were using the official tarball of GNU Bash. However, Bash is distributed using patches, not a public version controlled history. So to implement newer features of Bash, its necessary to apply those patches and make the tarball ourselves. With this commit, we have done just that: we used the 7 patches that have been released since version 5.0.0 and made a tarball to use for this template. The instructions on how to make the patched tarball are also given above the Bash build rule.
2019-04-22High-level software now specified in TARGETS.mkMohammad Akhlaghi-41/+117
Until now, to specify which high-level software you want the project to contain, it was necessary to go into the `high-level.mk' Makefile that is complicated and can create bugs. With this commit, a new `reproduce/software/config/installation/TARGETS.mk' file has been created that is easily/cleanly in charge of documenting the final high-level software that must be built for the project. Also, until now, FFTW was set as a dependency of Numpy while we couldn't actually get Numpy to use it! It was just there for future reference and to justify its build rule. But now that many software won't be built and there is no problem with having rules even though a project might not use them, it has been removed.
2019-04-22SCAMP and cdsclient have been added into the projectRaul Infante-Sainz-0/+2
With this commit, we add SCAMP into the project. This program is part of the Astromatic software and the main purpose is to make the fine astrometry and the distorsion correction astronomical images. In principle, SCAMP needs ATLAS library to be able to work (that is what the documentation says). However, we had some problems with ATLAS libraries on Mac OS system, and due to that, we set the option `--enable-openblas' in the configure step. By doing that, we are be able to install SCAMP with no problems. One dependency of SCAMP is `cdsclient', it has been also added with this commit. The `cdsclient' package is a set of C and shell routines which can be built on Unix stations or PCs running Linux, which once compiled allow to query some databases located at CDS or on mirrors over the network.
2019-04-17SExtractor is now included into the projectRaul Infante-Sainz-0/+1
With this commit, we add SExtractor to be installed into the project. It is a widely used program to detect object and build catalogues from astronomical images. We had some problems when installing it because it could not link with some ATLAS libraries. But, since we have OpenBLAS installed, we can use it to override the problem with ATLAS.
2019-04-17SWarp is now into the pipelineRaul Infante-Sainz-1/+2
SWarp resamples and co-adds together FITS images using any arbitrary astrometric projection defined in the WCS standard. It is a very useful program for astronomy and that is why we added it to the pipeline. With this commit, we also cite the paper for Astrometry-net that until now was missing.
2019-04-16Astrometry-net and all its dependencies are now in the projectRaul Infante-Sainz-0/+2
With this commit, we include Astrometry-net software and one remaining dependency of it (Swig). In principle it should work as far as we tested all of this software in GNU/Linux, but we need to test also in Mac OS. As a result, this commit is just for setting all the rules and dependencies, but more tests are necessaries to ensure it works properly, specially in Mac OS systems.
2019-04-16Netpbm and its dependencies are now includedRaul Infante-Sainz-2/+5
With this commit, the installation of `netpbm' has been included. This software has a crazy dialogue installation that we override by giving to it the answers (they differs on GNU/Linux and Mac OS systems). `libxml2' also has been built (a remaining dependency of `netpbm'). In this commit, `libpng' version has been downgraded because it is required by `netpbm'. The motivation of installing `netpbm' is that it is a dependency of Astrometry-net software.
2019-04-16Cairo library and its dependency Pixman, are now includedRaul Infante-Sainz-0/+2
In this commit we add Cairo library. The motivation of including this library is because it is a dependency of Astrometry-net (which is a common software used in astronomy projects). In principle it will not be build by default by de pipeline, but we will keep the rule just in case it is needed. Pixman is another library which is a prerequisite of Cairo, it is also built with this commit.
2019-04-15New architecture to separate software-building and analysis stepsMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+242
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).
