Until Commit 3409a54 (from yesterday), pkg-config was found correctly in
`reproduce/software/make/basic.mk` by searching for `pkg`. However, commit
a21ea20 made an improvement in the regular expression for relating package
names and download filenames, and the string `pkg-config` with the new
regex no longer simplifies to `pkg`. The result of this was that the
basic.mk could not find `pkg-config` in the list of packages, since it was
still listed as `pkg`. This blocked downloading for a system without
pkg-config preloaded.
With this commit (of just a few bytes), the bug is fixed.

Until now, we wouldn't explicity check for GNU gettext. If it was present
on the system, we would just add a link to it in Maneage's installation
directory. However, in bug #58248, Boud noticed that Git (a basic software)
actually needs it to complete its installation. Unfortunately we haven't
had the tiem to include a build of Gettext in Maneage. Because it is mostly
available on many systems, it hasn't been reported too commonly, it also
has many dependencies which make it a little time consuming to install.
So with this commit, we actually check for GNU gettext right after checking
the compiler and if its not available an informative error message is
written to inform the user of the problem, along with suggestions on fixing
it (how to install GNU gettext from their package manager).

Until now, the sed script for determining URL download rules in the three
software building Makefiles (`basic.mk', `high-level.mk' and `python.mk')
considered package names such as `fftw-3...` and `fftw2-2.1...` to be
identical. As the example above shows, this would make it hard to include
some software that may hav conflicting non-number names.
With this commit, the SED script that is used to separate the version from
the tarball name only matches numbers that are after a dash
(`-'). Therefore considers `fftw-3...` and `fftw-2...` to be identical, but
`fftw-3-...` and `fftw2-2.1...` to be different. As a result of this
change, the `elif' check for some of the other programs like `m4', or
`help2man' was also corrected in all three Makefiles.
While doing this check on all the software, we noticed that `zlib-version'
is being repeated two times in `version.conf' so it was removed. It caused
no complications, because both were the same number, but could lead to bugs
later.

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, 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.
|
|
Until now we only checked for the existance and write-ability of the build
directory. But we recently discovered that if the specified build-directory
is in a non-POSIX compatible partition (for example NTFS), permissions
can't be modified and this can cause crashs in some programs (in
particular, while building Perl, see [1]). The thing that makes this
problem hard to identify is that on such partitions, `chmod' will still
return 0 (so it was hard to find).
With this commit, a check has been added after the user specifies the
build-directory. If the proposed build directory is not able to handle
permissions as expected, the configure script will not continue and will
let the user know and will ask them for another directory.
Also, the two printed characters at the start of error messages were
changed to `**' (instead of `--'). When everything is good, we'll use `--'
to tell the user that their given directory will be used as the build
directory. And since there are multiple checks now, the final message to
specify a new build directory is now moved to the end and not repeated in
every check.

[Compared to first submission to DSJ last week with 11436 words in raw PDF,
we have decreased the paper by ~1000 words to 10493 :-)]
As with the previous commits, the moment Boud changed the structure of
sentences, I was able to find the redundancies and remove them! This is a
fascinating feature of collaboration I had never felt before: it is so hard
to find redundancies in my own raw text, but even a minor correction by
someone else suddeny breaks my mental memories/barrier on the sentence,
allowing me to be more critical to it!
Anyway, besides such corrections, I fixed a few other things: 1) In the
DSJ's recently published papers, ther is no `~' between "Figure" and its
number. 2) I noticed that in `tex/src/figure-src-inputconf.tex' I was
actually using manually input strings for the filename, checksum and size!
This was contrary to the whole philosophy of Maneage(!), I must have rushed
and forgot! So LaTeX variables are now defined and used.
|
|
Until now, the message that we printed just before starting to build
software didn't actually print the current directory, but only `pwd'. With
this commit, this is fixed (it uses the `currentdir' variable that is
already found before).

|
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.
|
|
There weren't any conflicts in this merge.
|
|
Of the GCC dynamically linked libraries we need to manually add RPATH to
all and for `libstdc++' we also need to tell it to link with
`libiconv'. Until now, the conditional to check for libstdc++ was not
working and thus libiconv wasn't been added to it.
With this commit the conditional has been corrected and is now
working. Also, to help in reading the logs, an echo statement was added
after every call to PatchELF.
|
|
Until now, when a the raw tarball of some software wasn't usable, I would
put it under my own webpage, or `akhlaghi.org/reproduce-software'. That
same address was also used as a backup server. However, now the project has
a proper name: Maneage. So I changed the directory on my own server to
`akhlaghi.org/maneage-software'.
With this commit, this new address has replaced the old one. But to avoid
crashes in projects that haven't yet merged with the main Maneage branch,
the old `reproduce-software' still works (its actually a symbolic link to
the new directory now).
|
|
In the previous commit, we remove the `-static' flag from building PatchELF
because it wasn't necessary any more. Howver, the comment for the check
still included it and could be confusing. This is corrected with this
commit. Also, we don't need the `good_static_libc' variable (that was only
defined to pass onto PatchELF). This has also been corrected.
|
|
Until a few commits ago, PatchELF was built statically because it was used
to patch `libstdc++' at the end of the GCC building phase, but PatchELF
also depends on `libstdc++', so it would crash. However, recently when
patching the GCC libraries, we don't directly apply Patchelf to the
library, first we copy it to a temporary place, do the patching, then put
it in its proper place. So the problem above won't happen any more.
With this commit, I am thus removing the static flag from patchelf and
letting it built dynamically all the time. The main problem was that some
systems don't have a static C++ library, so PatchELF couldn't be built
statically. Instead of adding more checks, we just fixed the core
foundation of the problem.

A few minor conflicts came up that were easily fixed.

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.

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.
|
|
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.

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.
|
|
In the previous commit, I removed the year from the basic installation of
TeXLive packages, but I forgot to correct this in the high-level TeXLive
packages! This is corrected with this commit.
|
|
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.

The contents until two commits ago when I started to summarize the paper
are now in a new and shorter format: previously the discussion started on
page 25, but now it starts on page 17. It is still a little longer than
8000 words, but not as significantly as before. I will add the discussion
and also try to summarize it futher before submission.

Elham Saremi recently reported the following errors when building Numpy in
numpy/core/src/npysort/radixsort.c.src: "error: 'for' loop initial
declarations are only allowed in C99 or C11 mode". After some searching, I
found Issue 14147[1] on Numpy's main repository about the same problem. As
described there, apparently Numpy needs C99 compiler, but doesn't check for
it or set it manually (for some strange reason, leaving it to the packagers
to check if they want!!!).
Any way, after a check with Elham, we were able to fix it by adding the
`--std=c99' to CFLAGS of Numpy's build and with this commit, it is now
being implemented in the core Maneage to not cause a problem in any other
project.

Until now, Astropy was instructed to build its own internal copy of the
Expat library. However, with the recent commits before, Maneage now
includes an installation of Expat and Astropy can't keep the two (its
internal version and the project's version) separate, so they conflict and
don't let Astropy get built.
With this commit, the problem is fixed by setting the Expat library as an
explicit dependency of Astropy and asking Astropy to ignore its internal
copy.
While doing this, I recognized that it is much easier and elegant to add
steps in various stages of the `pybuild' function through hooks instead of
variables. So the fifth argument of the `pybuild' function was removed and
now it actually checks if hooks are defined as functions and if so, they
will be called.
The `pyhook_after' function was also implemented in the installation of
`pybind11' (which needed it, given that the 5th argument of `pybuild' was
removed) and after doing a test-build, I noticed that two lines were not
ending with a `\' in `boost' (a dependency of `pybind11').

Raul noticed this during the build: I had mistakenly put an extra `&&' at
the start of the line where the line before ended with a `;'.

Until now we would simply return the version numbers as they were written
into the separate files and situations can happen where the version numbers
contain an underscore (`_'). However, this character is a methematical
character in LaTeX, causing LaTeX to complain and abort.
With this commit, a step has been added at the end of the configure script
to convert any possible `_' to `\_'. Once it is commented (a backslash is
put behind it), the underscore will be printed as it is in the final PDF.

Until now, the M4 that was built on macOS had internal problems (as
discussed in #1): it would simply print `Abort trap: 6' in the output and
abort. After looking at the build of Homebrew, I noticed that they apply a
patch (correct one line) to fix this problem. To be able to apply that
patch on macOS systems, I had fully open up the build recipe of M4 and
atleast on the testing system, it was built successfully.
Also, after successfully building M4, and thus Autoconf and thus Minizip,
we were able to build XLSX I/O on a macOS and found out that the internal
library's full address wasn't being put in the libraries and
executables. With this commit, we now use macOS's `install_name_tool' to
correct the positions of the two `libxlsxio_*' libraries in all its
executables.

|
|
Until this commit, only the word `Minizip' was written into the Minizip
installation target (without the version number of Minizip). With this
commit, this minor bug has been fixed by using the appropiate Make
variable: `$(minizip-version)'.
|
|
Minizip is a dependency of XLSX I/O and until now, I was just using the
most recent version I found (2.9.2), but XLSX I/O is written for the
Minizip 1.x series, not 2.x. Somehow it didn't cause a crash on my
computer!!! I think XLSX I/O's CMake is instructed to look into system
directories by default when it doesn't find the directories in the given
places. And because I had installed Minizip on my operating system, it
did't complain.
Upon trying the build on their systems, Yahya, Raul and Zahra reported a
failure in the build of XLSX I/O which was due the to the problem above (we
were installing the wrong version of Minizip!).
With this commit, this has been fixed by installing the 1.x series of
Minizip (whish is actually installed within zlib!).

With this commit, CMake has been updated to its most recent version.
This upgrade has been done because in the installation of XLSX I/O on
macOS laptop, it crashes complaining about C compiler "not able to
compile a simple test program". After a fast search, I found it could be
possible to just use the most recent version of CMake to solve the
problem. But it didn't work. In any case, it is good to have the most
recent version of CMake included.

A few minor conflicts occurred and were fixed.
|
|
With this commit, multiples tabs in the definition of MissFITS tarball
have been removed. Now they are white spaces.
|
|
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.

Until this commit, PyYAML was not set as prerequisite of Astropy. This
package is an optional dependency of Astropy for some particular
functions. However, we have already included PyYAML into this project so
it is available. With this commit, PyYAML has been set as a prerequisite
of Astropy.
In addition to this, Html5lib and Beautifulsoup4 have been also added as
prerequsites of Astropy (and removed from Astroquery prerequisites). I
noticed that both of them are optional dependencies of Astropy.
|
|
In the last update of Astropy to version 4.0 they removed some things
that the previous version of Astroquery needs. As a consequence, it is
also necessary to update the Astroquery version to be a ble to run with
the Astropy 4.0. With this commit, the update of Astroquery to it most
recent version (0.4) has been done.
|
|
Until now, I was mistakenly multiplying the fraction of papers in that
journal. This is corrected with this commit.
|
|
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.
|
|
Until now, the preparation phase was always executed before the final build
phase when running `./project make'. But when it becomes necessary, project
preparation can be slow and will un-necessarily slow down the project while
the project is growing (focus is on the analysis that is done after
preparation).
With this commit, preparation will be done automatically the first time
that the project is run (`.build/software/preparation-done.mk' doesn't
exist). However, after preperation is complete once, future runs of
`./project make' won't do preparation any more (by calling
`top-prepare.mk'). They will directly call `top-make.mk' for the analysis.
To manually invoke preparation after the first attempt, the `./project
make' script should be run with the new `--prepare-redo' option.
Also, since the preparation phase is now automatically done before the
analysis phase, the long notice that describes running `./project make' at
the end of the preparation phase has been removed in `top-prepare.mk'. It
now just prints a short line, saying the preparation has been complete.
Finally, when the project has not been run with the proper group
configuration, it ends with an `exit 1' so the main `./project' script
doesn't proceed any further.
|
|
MissFITS is package for manipulating FITS files.
I added it as my first commit to the project for educational
purposes.
|
|
Until now, the final preparation target of the preparation phase depended
on all the `$(makesrc)' files. This caused a problem because we were
telling it to also depend on `prepare.tex' (which is the same file that is
being built).
With this commit, we are applying the same solution we have already done in
`paper.mk' (for `paper.tex'): we are removing `prepare' from the list of
prerequisites.
This bug was found by Zahra Sharbaf.
|
|
Until now, like all software on GNU/Linux systems GCC would be built in RAM
(to speed up the build slightly and also not put too much stress on the
HDDs/SSDs). But some systems don't have enough RAM for building GCC and
will complain and crash.
With this commit, we have added a check on the amount of free space in the
`build_tmp' directory (which will be `/dev/shm' on GNU/Linux systems). If
the amount of free space isn't more than 10GB, then GCC won't be built
there and a temporary directory will be built under the `$(BDIR)/software'
directory for it.
This bug was found by Zahra Sharbaf.
This fixes bug #57853.
|
|
This was done just to get going with describing the analysis process.
|
|
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.
|
|
Until now, there was no easy way to read/write `.xlsx' files (Microsoft
Excel spreadsheets) within the template. But XLSX I/O provides to simple
programs and some libraries to easily convert `.xlsx' files to CSV that can
easily be read by any tool.
This has also been implemented in the core template branch.
