In preparation for the submission of the revised manuscript, I went through
the full paper and appendices one last time. The second appendix (reviewing
existing reproducible solutions) in particular needed some attention
because some of the tools weren't properly compared with the criteria.
In the paper, I was also able to remove about 30 words, and bring our own
count (which is an over-estimation already) to below 6250.
|
|
After his previous two commits, we discussed some of the points and I am
making these edits following those. In particular the last statement about
Madagascar "could have been more useful..." was changed to simply mention
that mixing workflow with analysis is against the modularity principle. We
should not judge its usefulness to the community (which is beyond our scope
and would need an official survey).
A few other minor edits were done here and there to clarify some of the
points.
|
|
With this commit, I have corrected some minor typos of this appendix.
They are very minor corrections.
|
|
With this commit, I have corrected some minor typos of this appendix.
In addition to that, I also put empty lines to separate subsections and
subsubsections appropiately.
|
|
I ran a simple Emacs spell check over the main body and the two
appendices. All discovered typos have been fixed.
|
|
With this commit, I have corrected some minor typos of this appendix. In
addition to that, I also put empty lines to separate subsections and
subsubsections appropiately (5 lines and 1 line, respectively).
|
|
Having entered 2021, it was necessary to update the years of all the
copyright statements.
|
|
There were only three very small conflicts that have been fixed.
|
|
Until now, in the appendices we were simply using '\ref' to refer to
different parts of the published paper. However, when built in
'--supplement' mode, the main body of the paper is a separate PDF and
having links to a separate PDF is not impossible, but far too complicated.
However, having the links adds to the richness of the text and helps point
readers to specific parts of the paper.
With this commit, there is a LaTeX conditional anywhere in the appendices
that we want to refer the reader to sections/figures in the main body. When
building a separate PDF, the resepective section/figure is cited in a
descriptive mode (like "Seciton discussing longevity of tools"). However,
when the appendices go into the same PDF as the main body, the '\ref's
remain.
|
|
Having added/modified text in the supplements, Boud is now a copyright
holder of this file too.
I also added 2021 to the copyright years of paper.tex and supplement.tex.
|
|
This commit does some minor copyediting, especially of the
introduction to the supplement. There's no point complaining to
the reader about the word limit of the journal: s/he is not
interested in that. This is not the right place for discussing
journal policy. The need for summarising content and focussing on
key elements of a cohesive argument is fundamental in a world of
information overload. A&A/MNRAS/ApJ/PRD letters are generally
much worse than normal articles in terms of reproducibility
because they have to omit so many details that the reader has
to read the full articles to really know what is done. But the
reality is that letters get read a lot, because they're short
and snappy.
|
|
In the abstract the repeated benefits of Maneage (which are also mentioned
in the criteria) were removed to fit into CiSE's online submission
guidelines. In Section II (Longevity of existing tools), the paragraph that
itemized the following paragrahs as a numbered list has been removed with
the sentence that repeatedly states the importance of reproducibility in
the sciences and some branches of the industry.
With these changes our approximate automatic count has 6277 words. This is
still very slightly larger than the 6250 word limit of the
journal. However, this count is a definite over-estimation (including many
things like page titles and page numberings from the raw PDF to text
conversion). So the actual count for the journal publication should be less
than this.
A few other tiny corrections were made:
- The year of the paper and copyright in 'README.md' was set to 2021. The
copyright of the rest of the files will be set to 2021 after the next
merge with Maneage soon (the years of core infrastructure copyrights has
already been corrected there).
- Mohammadreza's name was added in 'README.md'.
- The line to import the "necessity" appendix has been commented in the
version to have the full paper in one PDF (to be upladed to arXiv or
Zenodo).
- The supplement PDF now starts with '\appendices' so the sections have
the same labels as the single-PDF version.
|
|
Until now the supplement had no introduction for a random reader to see the
purpose of this "Web extra" supplement.
With this commit, an abstract has been added.
|
|
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'.
|
|
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.
|
|
As recommended by Lorena Barba (editor in chief of CiSE), we should prepare
the appendices as a separate "Supplement" for the journal. But we also want
them to be appendices within the paper when built for arXiv.
As a first step, with this commit, each appendix has been put in a separate
'tex/src/appendix-*.tex' file and '\input' into the paper. We will then be
able to conditionally include them in the PDF or not.
Also, as recommended by Lorena, the general "necessity for reproducible
research" appendix isn't included (possibly going into the webpage later).
|
|
This commit makes many small wording fixes, mainly to Appendix A.
It also insert "quotes" around some of the titles fields in
'tex/src/references.tex', since otherwise capitalisation is lost (DNA
becomes Dna; 'of Reinhart and Rogoff' becomes 'of reinhart and rogoff'; and
so on). I didn't do this for all titles, because some Have All Words
Capitalised, which blocks the .bib file from choosing a consistent style.
|
|
Some minor edits were made to the paper to shorten it. In particular the
example of IPOL was removed from the main body of the paper, and we'll just
rely on the more extensive review of IPOL in the appendix. I also updated
the referee report to account for the new Appendix A that is just an
extended introduction.
Also, I noticed that the Menke+20 paper that we replicate here has recently
been published in the iScience journal. So its bibliography was updated
from the bioarXiv information to the journal information.
Also, the number of words (after removing abstract and captions and
accounting for figures) is now only printed when the project is built with
'--no-appendix'. This was done because this information is
extra/annoying/unnecessary for the case where there is an appendix.
|
|
In the first/long draft of this work, we had a good introduction on the
necessity of reproducibility. But we were forced to remove it because of
word-count limits. Having moved a major portion of the previous work into
the appendices, I thought it would be good to put that introduction as a
first appendix also, focused on the necessity for reproducibile research.
|
|
Some minor conflicts that came up during the merge were fixed.
|
|
This only concerns the TeX sources in the default branch. In case you don't
use them, there should only be a clean conflict in 'paper.tex' (that is
obvious and easy to fix). Conflicts may only happen in some of the
'tex/src/preamble-*.tex' files if you have actually changed them for your
project. But generally any conflict that does arise by this commit with
your project branch should be very clear and easy to fix and test.
In short, from now on things will even be easier: any LaTeX configuration
that you want to do for your project can be done in
'tex/src/preamble-project.tex', so you don't have to worry about any other
LaTeX preamble file. They are either templates (like the ones for PGFPlots
and BibLaTeX) or low-level things directly related to Maneage. Until now,
this distinction wasn't too clear.
Here is a summary of the improvements:
- Two new options to './project make': with '--highlight-new' and
'--highlight-notes' it is now possible to activate highlighting on the
command-line. Until now, there was a LaTeX macro for this at the start
of 'paper.tex' (\highlightchanges). But changing that line would change
the Git commit hash, making it hard for the readers to trust that this
is the same PDF. With these two new run-time options, the printed commit
hash will not changed.
- paper.tex: the sentences are formatted as one sentence per line (and one
line per sentence). This helps in version controlling narrative and
following the changes per sentence. A description of this format (and
its advantages) is also included in the default text.
- The internal Maneage preambles have been modified:
- 'tex/src/preamble-header.tex' and 'tex/src/preamble-style.tex' have
been merged into one preamble file called
'tex/src/preamble-maneage-default-style.tex'. This helps a lot in
simply removing it when you use a journal style file for example.
- Things like the options to highlight parts of the text are now put in
a special 'tex/src/preamble-maneage.tex'. This helps highlight that
these are Maneage-specific features that are independent of the style
used in the paper.
- There is a new 'tex/src/preamble-project.tex' that is the place you
can add your project-specific customizations.
|
|
Until now, the Maneage-only features of LaTeX where mixed with
'tex/src/preamble-project.tex' (which is reserved for project-specific
things). But we want to move the highlighting features (that have started
here) into the core Maneage branch, so its best for these Maneage-specific
features to be in a Maneage-specific preamble file.
With this commit, a hew 'tex/src/preamble-maneage.tex' has been created for
this purpose and the highlighting modes have been put in there. In the
process, I noticed that 'tex/src/preamble-project.tex' doesn't have a
copyright! This has been corrected.
|
|
This commit makes the numbered links to references such as [13]
[14] [15] in the appendices clickable in the pdf. The solution
was to call the "\newcites" command from the "multilibs" package
*after* loading "hyperref".
First do "rm -fv .build/tex/build/*.bbl .build/tex/build/*.aux"
and then "./project make" a few times.
|
|
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.
|
|
Until now, the core Maneage 'paper.tex' had a '\highlightchanges' macro
that defines two LaTeX macros: '\new' and '\tonote'.
When '\highlightchanges' was defined, anything that was written within
'\new' became dark green (highlighting new things that have been
added). Also, anything that was written in '\tonote' was put within a '[]'
and became dark red (to show that there is a note here that should be
addressed later).
When '\highlightchanges' wasn't defined, anything within the '\new' element
would be black (like the rest of the text), and the things in '\tonote'
would not be shown at all.
Commenting the '\newcommand{\highlightchanges}{}' line within 'paper.tex'
(to toggle the modes above) would create a different Git hash and has to be
committed.
But this different commit hash could create a false sense in the reader
that other things have also been changed and the only way they could
confirm was to actually go and look into the project history (which they
will not usually have time to do, and thus won't be able to trust the two
modes of the text).
Also, the added highlights and the note highlights were bundeled together
into one macro, so you couldn't only have one of them.
With this commit, the choice of highlighting either one of the two is now
done as two new run-time options to the './project' script (which are
passed to the Makefiles, and written into the 'project.tex' file which is
loaded into 'paper.tex'). In this way, we can generate two PDFs with the
same Git commit (project's state): one with the selected highlights and
another one without it.
This issue actually came up for me while implementing the changes here: we
need to submit one PDF to the journal/referees with highlights on the added
features. But we also need to submit another PDF to arXiv and Zenodo
without any highlights. If the PDFs have different commit hashes, the
referees may associate it with other changes in any part of the work. For
example https://oadoi.org/10.22541/au.159724632.29528907 that mentions
"Another version of the manuscript was published on arXiv: 2006.03018",
while the only difference was a few words in the abstract after the journal
complained on the abstract word-count of our first submission (where the
commit hashes matched with arXiv/Zenodo).
|
|
With the optional appendices added recently to the paper, it was important
to go through them and make them more fitting into the paper.
|
|
Given the referee reports, after discussing with the editors of CiSE, we
decided that it is important to include the complete appendix we had before
that included a thorough review of existing tools and methods. However, the
appendix will not be published in the paper (due to the strict word-count
limit). It will only be used in the arXiv/Zenodo versions of the paper.
This actually created a technical problem: we want the commit hash of the
project source to remain the same when the paper is built with an appendix
or without it.
To fix this problem the choice of including an appendix has gone into the
'project' script as a run-time option called '--no-appendix'. So by default
(when someone just runs './project make'), the PDF will have an appendix,
but when we want to submit to the journal, or when the appendix isn't
needed for a certain reason, we can use this new option. The appendix also
has its own separate bibliography.
Some other corrections made in this commit:
1. Some new references were added that had an '_' in their source, they
were corrected in 'references.tex'.
2. I noticed that 'preamble-style.tex' is not actually used in this paper,
so it has been deleted.
|

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.

Until now, the replicated plot had the width of the full page and the data
lineage graph was under it. Together they were covering more than half of
the height of the page! But the plot showing the number of papers with
tools really doesn't have too much detail, and all the space was being
wasted.
With this commit, the plot is now much much thinner and the data lineage
graph has been fitted to the right of it.
|
|
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.
|
|
Until now, the dataset's configuration names had a 'WFPC2' prefix. But this
very alien to anyone that is not familiar with the history of the Hubble
Space Telescope (the camera is no longer used! Its just used here since its
one of the standard FITS files from the FITS standard webpage).
With this commit the variable names have been modified to be more readable
and clear (having a 'DEMO-' prefix). Also the comments of 'INPUTS.conf'
(describing the purpose of each variable) were edited and made more clear.
|
|
In the previous commit, the modified abstract of the acknowledgments only
included the URL of Maneage, but its more formal to cite the Maneage paper,
the URL is already present in the paper.
|
|
Until now, the data-lineage figure's step-by-step feature (using the macros
defined at the top) didn't correspond to the new format! It was still based
on the purely-hypothetical format, while the boxes and their contents had
changed.
With this commit, they macros and corresponding parts that they create have
been updated to represent the step-by-step data lineage of this paper.
Also, in the "tools-per-year" plot, the green line was brought ontop of the
histogram to be more clear (especially when transparency isn't implemented
properly in the conversion).
|
|
Until now the color for the branching figure'e "project" branch was too
close to the Derved project branch. With this commit, I am using a slightly
darker shade of brown that is sufficiently differnet from the core Maneage
branch and the derived project branch.
|
|
Marios had read the first draft of the paper (Commit f990bba) and provided
valuable feedback (shown below) that ultimately helped in the current
version. But because of all the work that was necessary in those days, I
forgot to actually thank him in the acknowledgment, while I had implemented
most of his thoughts.
Following Marios' thoughts on the Git branching figure, with this commit, I
am also adding a few sentences at the end of the caption with a very rough
summary of Git.
I also changed the branch commit-colors to shades of brown (incrementally
becoming lighter as higher-level branches are shown) to avoid the confusion
with the blue and green signs within the schematic papers shown in the
figure.
Marios' comments (April 28th, 2020, on Commit f990bba)
------------------------------------------------------
I think the structure of the paper is more or less fine. There are two
places that I thought could be improved:
1) Section 3 (Principles) was somewhat confusing to me in the way that it
was structured. I think the main source of confusion is the mixing of what
Maeage is about and what other programs have done. I would suggest to
separate the two. I would have short intro for the section, similar to what
you have now. However, I would suggest to highlight the underlying goals
motivating the principles that follow: reproducibility, open science,
something else? Then I would go into the details of the seven principles.
Some of the principles are less clear to me than others. For example, why
is simplicity a guiding principle? Then some other principles appear to be
related, for example modularity, minimal complexity and scalability to my
eyes are not necessarily separate.
Finally, I would separate the comparison with other software and either
dedicate a section to that somewhere toward the end of the paper (perhaps a
subsection for section 5) or at least condense it and put it as a closing
paragraph for Section 3. As it is now I think it draws focus from Maneage
and also includes some repetitions.
2) Section 4 (Maneage) was at times confusing because it is written, I
think in part as a demonstration of Maneage (i.e., including examples that
showed how Maneage was used to write this or other papers) and a
manual/description of the software. I wonder whether these two aspects can
be more cleanly separated. Perhaps it would be possible to first have a
section 4 where each of the modules/units of Maneage are listed and
explained and then have the following section discuss a working example of
Maneage using this or another paper.
3) I found Figure 7 [the git branching figure] and its explanation not very
intuitive. This probably has to do with my zero knowledge of github and how
versioning there works, but perhaps the description can be a bit more "user
friendly" even for those who are not familiar with the tool.
4) I find Section 6 to be rather inconsequential. It does not add anything
and it more or less is just a summary of what was discussed. I would
personally remove it and include a very short summary of the
ideals/principles/goals of Maneage at the beginning of Section 5, before
the discussion.
|

The default 'paper.tex' starts by defining some macros and comments
describing them. Until now, the text was not too clear and could be
confusing for someone that is not at all familiar with Maneage.
With this commit, the comments have been edited to be more clear for a
first-time reader. For example they all start with FULL CAPS
summaries.
Two other small things were corrected in 'tex/src/preamble-necessary.tex':
- Until now 'project.tex' was included in this preamble. However, because
of its importance in Maneage, and prominent place in the demonstration
plot of the paper introducing Maneage, it is now included directly in
'paper.tex'. This also allows users to safely ignore/delete this
preamble file if their LaTeX style is different.
- I noticed that some macros for some astronomical software names from the
very first commits in Maneage were still present here! They are no
longer used, so they have been removed.
|
|
Until now, we were using three EPS (created from SVG) that were downloaded
from https://www.flaticon.com. Therefore it was necessary to acknowledge
the creators and put a link to the webpage. This consumed space in the
caption and decreased the originality of the plot.
Another problem was that the "collaboration" icon (with three people in it)
had arrows, and some of those arrows pointed downwards, make ambiguity in
relation to the top-ward arrows under the commits.
With this commit, three alternative icons are added that I made from
scratch, using Inkscape. The collaboration icon now is two figures and two
speech-bubbles, without any arrows.
|
|
The text of the default paper hadn't been changed for a very long time! In
this time, three papers using Maneage have been published (which can be
very good as an example), Maneage also now has a webpage!
With these commit these examples and the webpage have been added and
generally it was also polished a little to hopefully be more useful.
|
|
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.
|
|
Until now, when the figures were built directly from EPS
('\newcommand{\makepdf}{}' was commented), they would take the full
line-width becoming a little too large! I noticed this after letting arXiv
build the PDF.
With this commit, the 'includetikz' tool takes a second argument to be a
parameter given to 'includegraphics' (which is scale in this case).
|
|
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.

Publishing a paper on reproducible research without making it easy for
readers to read the references would defeat the point. Of course we have to
make some compromises with some journals' reluctance to shift towards the
free world, but to satisfy scientific ethics, we should at least provide
clickable URLs to the references, preferably to the ArXiv version if
available [1], and also to the DOI, again, preferably to an open-access
version of the URL if available.
I was not able to fully get this done in the .bst file, so there's an
sed/tr hack done to the .bbl file in `reproduce/analysis/make/paper.mk` to
tidy up commas and spaces.
This commit also reverts some of the hacks in the Akhlaghi IAU Symposium
`tex/src/references.tex` entry, to match the improved .bst file,
`tex/src/IEEEtran_openaccess.bst`, provided here with a different name to
the original, in order to satisfy the LaTeX licence.

To help show the simplicity of 'top-make.mk', it was included as a
listing. I also went over some of Boud's corrections and made small
edits. In particular:
- The '\label' and '\ref' to a section were removed. I done this after
inspecting some of their recent papers and noticing that they generally
have a simple flow, without such redirections.
- In the part about the RDA adoption grant, I moved the "from the
researcher perspective" to the end. Because Austin+2017 is mainly
focused on data-center management, not the researcher's. They do touch
upon researcher solutions that can help data-base managers, but not
directly the researchers. In effect with this grant, they acknowledged
that our researcher-focused solution confirms with their criteria for
data-base management.
|
|
In order to correspond to the updated datalineage plot, the name of the
plotted columns was changed to 'columns.txt', but I had forgot to update it
in the LaTeX source and since the old file still remained I hadn't
noticed. This was found by Boud and corrected.
|
|
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
|
|
Following the fact that the DSJ editor decided that this paper doesn't fit
into their scope, we decided to submit it to IEEE's Computing in Science
and Engineering (CiSE). So with this commit the text was re-written to fit
into their style and word-count limitations.
|
|
The paper is no longer using LuaLaTeX, but raw LaTeX (that saves a DVI), it
is so much faster! Initially I had used LuaLaTeX to use special fonts to
resemble the CODATA Data Science Journal, but all that overhead is no
longer necessary. Therefore I also removed the MANY extra LaTeX packages we
were importing. The paper builds and is able to construct one of its images
(the git-branching figure) with only 7 packages beyond the minimal
TeX/LaTeX installation. Also in terms of processing it is so much faster.
The text is just temporary now, and mainly just a place holder. With the
next commit, I'll fill it with proper text.
|
|
A few small conflicts showed up here and there. They are fixed with this
merge.
|
|
David suggested some interesting references in particular about the
problems with Juypyter notebooks that are now added to the long version of
the paper. We'll later decide if/how they can be used.
|
|
[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.
