Until now, the 'double dash' (i.e. \texttt{--}) in the default 'paper.tex'
would only print one (longer) dash in the output pdf.
With this commit, the double dashes are replaced with '-{}-' in the LaTeX
source as a workaround suggested by Stefan Kottwitz in [1].

This commit primarily affects the configuration step of Maneage'd projects,
and in particular, updated versions of the many of the software (see
P.S.). So it shouldn't affect your high-level analysis other than the
version bumps of the software you use (and the software's possibly
improve/changed behavior).
The following software (and thus their dependencies) couldn't be updated as
described below:
- Cryptography: isn't building because it depends on a new
setuptools-rust package that has problems
(https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?61731), so it has been
commented in 'versions.conf'.
- SecretStorage: because it depends on Cryptography.
- Keyring: because it depends on SecretStorage.
- Astroquery: because it depends on Keyring.
This is a "squashed" commit after rebasing a development branch of 60
commits corresponding to a roughly two-month time interval. The following
people contributed to this branch.
- Boudewijn Roukema added all the R software infrastructure and the R
packages, as well as greatly helping in fixing many bugs during the
update.
- Raul Infante-Sainz helped in testing and debugging the build.
- Pedram Ashofteh Ardakani found and fixed a bug.
- Zahra Sharbaf helped in testing and found several bugs.
Below a description of the most noteworthy points is given.
- Software tarballs: all updated software now have a unified format
tarball (ustar; if not possible, pax) and unified compression (Lzip) in
Maneage's software repository in Zenodo
(https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3883409). For more on this See
https://savannah.nongnu.org/task/?15699 . This won't affect any extra
software you would like to add; you can use any format recognized by
GNU Tar, and all common compression algorithms. This new requirement is
only for software that get merged to the core Maneage branch.
- Metastore (and thus libbsd and libmd) moved to highlevel: Metastore
(and the packages it depends on) is a high-level product that is only
relevant during the project development (like Emacs!): when the user
wants the file meta data (like dates) to be unchanged after checking
out branches. So it should be considered a high-level software, not
basic. Metastore also usually causes many more headaches and error
messages, so personally, I have stopped using it! Instead I simply
merge my branches in a separate clone, then pull the merge commit: in
this way, the files of my project aren't re-written during the checkout
phase and therefore their dates are untouched (which can conflict with
Make's dates on configuration files).
- The un-official cloned version of Flex (2.6.4-91 until this commit) was
causing problems in the building of Netpbm, so with this commit, it has
been moved back to version 2.6.4.
- Netpbm's official page had version 10.73.38 as the latest stable
tarball that was just released in late 2021. But I couldn't find our
previously-used version 10.86.99 anywhere (to see when it was released
and why we used it! Its at last more than one year old!). So the
official stable version is being used now.
- Improved instructions in 'README.md' for building software environment
in a Docker container (while having project source and output data
products on the local system; including the usage of the host's
'/dev/shm' to speed up temporary operations).
- Until now, the convention in Maneage was to put eight SPACE characters
before the comment lines within recipes. This was done because by
default GNU Emacs (also many other editors) show a TAB as eight
characters. However, in other text editors, online browsers, or even
the Git diff, a TAB can correspond to a different number of
characters. In such cases, the Maneage recipes wouldn't look too
interesting (the comments and the recipe commands would show a
different indentation!).
With this commit, all the comment lines in the Makefiles within the
core Maneage branch have a hash ('#') as their first character and a
TAB as the second. This allows the comment lines in recipes to have the
same indentation as code; making the code much more easier to read in a
general scenario including a 'git diff' (editor agnostic!).
P.S. List of updated software with their old and new versions
- Software with no version update are not mentioned.

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, 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.
|
|
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, no machine-related specifications were being documented in the
workflow. This information can become helpful when observing differences in
the outcome of both software and analysis segments of the workflow by
others (some software may behave differently based on host machine).
With this commit, the host machine's 'hardware class' and 'byte-order' are
collected and now available as LaTeX macros for the authors to use in the
paper. Currently it is placed in the acknowledgments, right after
mentioning the Maneage commit.
Furthermore, the project and configuration scripts are now capable of
dealing with input directory names that have SPACE (and other special
characters) by putting them inside double-quotes. However, having spaces
and metacharacters in the address of the build directory could cause
build/install failure for some software source files which are beyond the
control of Maneage. So we now check the user's given build directory
string, and if the string has any '@', '#', '$', '%', '^', '&', '*', '(',
')', '+', ';', and ' ' (SPACE), it will ask the user to provide a different
directory.
|
|
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').
|
|
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 acknowledgment section didn't contain the new name of
Maneage and it also included an acknowledgment of Gnuastro (which is not
appropriate for a general project which may not use Gnuastro).
With this commit this is fixed.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.

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
|
|
Until now, the primary Maneage URLs were under GitLab, but since we now
have a dedicated URL and Git repository, its better to transfer to this as
soon as possible. Therefore with this commit, throughout Maneage, any place
that Maneage was referenced through GitLab has been corrected.
Please correct your project's remote to point to the new repository at
`git.maneage.org/project.git', and please make sure it follows the
`maneage' branch. There is no more `master' branch on Maneage.
|
|
Now that its 2020, its necessary to include this year in the copyright
statements.
|
|
Since we got the RDA Adoption grant, it was necessary to add it in the
acknowledgements.
|
|
Until now, the paper's title and author information were set it
`tex/src/preamble-header.tex'. But they are actually shown in the final PDF
paper and a much better place to keep them is the top-level `paper.tex'.
With this commit, the setting of the title and author names has been moved
to `paper.tex', just after importing all the preambles. However, the basic
package importation and low-level settings are still set in
`tex/src/preamble-header.tex', because they are relatively low-level.
This task was suggested by Deepak (Indian Institute of Astrophysics).
|
|
After the checklist was applied in the 5th Indo-French Astronomy School, we
found some cases in the checklist that were extra (and thus had to be
removed), or were needed (and thus were added).
Also the non-necessary steps for a first commit were moved to a
separate/new section in the checklist for the people to add after doing
their first commit.
Also, the software part of the paper was moved to an appendix.
|
|
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.
|
|
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).
|
|
All occurances of "pipeline" have been chanaged to "project" or "template"
withint the text (comments, READMEs, and comments) of the template. The
main template branch is now also named `template'.
This was all because `pipeline' is too generic and couldn't be
distinguished from the base, and customized project.
|
|
Until now, the files where the people were meant to change didn't have a
proper copyright notice (for example `Copyright (C) YOUR NAME.'). This was
wrong because the license does not convey copyright ownership. So the name
of the file's original author must always be included and when people
modify it (and add their own copyright-able modifications).
With this commit, the file's original author (and email) are added to the
copyright notice and when more than one person modified a file, both names
have their individual copyright notice.
Based on this, the description for adding a copyright notice in
`README-hacking.md' has also been modified.
|
|
With this commit, we are applying the new style of citing software within
the build rule of Gnuastro.
|
|
Until now, management of the software names and versions in the paper was
done manually (a macro had to be defined in `initialize.mk', then used in
`paper.tex', so they had to be manually set in two places). Managing this
was not easy.
To fix this, with this commit, each software building rule's target is a
text file that contains its human-readable name and its version. In the
end, the configure script sorts them by their name and writes them into a
LaTeX input file that we can easily import as a file into the main paper.
|
|
Until now, these versions were written in each run. This was mainly
inherited from the old days of the pipeline, where we didn't know the
software on the host. But now that we have almost everything under control,
we can just write these LaTeX macros at the end of the configure script and
make `initialize.mk' simpler and also (very slightly!) speed-up/simplify
the processing.
|
|
We were developing the build of Numpy and Scipy on Mac in a parallel thread
and things seems to be working relatively nice now. There were only two
problems:
1) GCC still has some random building issues on Mac.
2) ATLAS shared libraries can't be built on Mac (so we used OpenBLAS to
build Numpy and Scipy on both Mac and GNU/Linux).
But for now, none of these problems are critical. So, we can progress in
one branch.
There were only very minor conflicts in the merge.
|
|
After doing a systematic search for files without a copyright notice, a few
more were found that didn't have a notice. So a notice was added for them.
I used this Bash command to find the files:
for f in $(find ./ -type f); do \
if [[ $f != *.git* ]]; then \
n=$(grep -i copyright $f | wc -l); \
echo "$n $f"; \
fi; \
done | awk '$1==0'
|
|
In order to be more clear, a copyright statement was added to all the LaTeX
and README files.
|
|
In the previous commit I already have included the latex macros.
In this commit we use them in the paper source.
|
|
Conflicts in `gcc' build comments and in mentioning software used in
paper fixed.
|
|
In this commit we add `h5py' Python package.
We also include `setuptools' as a main dependency of Python because with the
previous commit it (as well as `pip') is no longer installed with Python.
Numpy version also has been incremented.
|
|
The LaTeX macro for libgit2 was not properly used in `paper.tex'.
On Mac systems, after browsing the directory, a `.DS_Store' file was
created. So to keep things clean on those systems, it is added to the files
to be ignored by Git.
|
|
Astropy was added and one very important thing is that we have to
use the pypi tarball (https://pypi.org/) (which is bootstrapped)
and not the github tarball.
|
|
In order to collaborate effectively in the project, even project members
that don't necessarily want (or have the capacity) to do the whole analysis
must be able to contribute to the project. Until now, the users of the
distributed tarball could only modify the text and not the figures (built
with PGFPlots) of the paper.
With this commit, the management of TeX source files in the pipeline was
slightly modified to allow this as cleanly as I could think of now! In
short, the hand-written TeX files are now kept in `tex/src' and for the
pipeline's generated TeX files (in particular the old `tex/pipeline.tex'),
we now have a `tex/pipeline' symbolic-link/directory that points to the
`tex' directory under the build directory.
When packaging the project, `tex/pipeline' will be a full directory with a
copy of all the necessary files. Therefore as far as LaTeX is concerned,
having a build-directory is no longer relevant. Many other small changes
were made to do this job cleanly which will just make this commit message
too long!
Also, the old `tarball' and `zip' targets are now `dist' and `dist-zip' (as
in the standard GNU Build system).
|
|
With this commit, it is now possible to package the project into a tarball
or zip file, ready to be distributed to collaborators who only want to
modify the final paper (and not do the analysis technicalities), or for
uploading to sites like arXiv, or online LaTeX sharing pages.
|
|
In this version, too many extra notices (just regarding a change from
branch to branch) are not printed with `-q'. Instead only a one line
statement is printed that it is saved or applied.
|
|
Metastore depends on `bsd/string.h' to work properly (atleast on GNU/Linux
systems). The first system I tried building with had that library, so I
didn't notice! With this commit, we also build `libbsd' as part of the
pipeline.
Also, I couldn't find libbsd's version in any of its installed headers, so
like Libjpeg, we can't actually check and will directly write our internal
version into the paper.
|
|
The pipeline heavily depends on file meta data (and in particular the
modification dates), for example the configuration-Makefiles within the
pipeline are set as prerequisites to the rules of the pipeline.
However, when Git checks out a branch, it doesn't preserve the meta-data of
the files unique to that branch (for example program source files or
configuration-Makefiles). As a result, the rules that depend on them will
be re-done.
This is especially troublesome in the scenario of this reproducible paper
project because we commonly need to switch between branches (for example to
import recent work in the pipeline into the projects). After some
searching, I think the Metastore program is the best solution. Metastore is
now built as part of the pipeline and through two Git hooks, it is called
by Git to store the original meta-data of files into a binary file that is
version controlled (and managed by Metastore).

Until now, Gnuastro was only mentioned in the first acknowledgments
section, but not in the paragraph with all the program names. But these two
are not mutually exclusive. All the software should be mentioned in the
last paragraph and those that need special mention can be mentioned before
it.

Readline is a prerequisite of Bash and AWK, while NCURSES is a prerequisite
of Readline. With the recent update of GNU Bash (and thus GNU Readline) on
my host operating system, the pipeline crashed and I noticed this hole in
the pipeline. In particular, AWK (which linked with Readline 7.0) would
complain about not finding it and abort.

Both Gzip and Gnuastro were being bootstrapped personally from their Git
repository until now. But fortunately a new release of both came out last
week and so to make things standard we are now using their standard
tarballs.
I also noticed that we weren't checking the version of Gzip or mentioning
it in the acknowledgement section. This was also corrected.

The TeX Live installer needs Wget to operate smoothly, especially on recent
Mac OS systems that don't have Wget pre-installed. Also, it would be good
for the pipeline to have its own downloader. So with this commit, the
pipeline also installs Wget and OpenSSL which is a dependency.
Many other small changes/fixes were done in this process.

Until now we weren't explicity writing the full path of the dynamic
libraries necessary for linking a program. But now with
`-Wl,-rpath=$(ildir)' we ensure that the linker keeps the address of the
dynamic libraries necessary for linking at linking time, not running
time. Also, `pkg-config' is also built when preparing the basics. Several
other minor corrections were made thanks to the great help of Raúl Infante
Sainz.

The high-level dependencies are now built without having access to the
system's PATH. To do this, all the necessary software that we aren't
building ourselves are now brought into the installed `bin/' directory
using a symbolic link to the corresponding software on the host. To do
this, it was also necessary to increase the number of basic/low-level
packages that we are building, and add several more (Diffutils and
Findutils).
With this process in place, we now have a list of the exact software
packages that we are not building our selves, enabling easy building of all
such dependencies in the future.

Until now, we were keeping the input file within the reproduction
pipeline's directories using the same name as the database/server. Now, we
are using a short/summarized filename convention for the input dataset.
|
|
In most analysis situations (except for simulations), an input dataset is
necessary, but that part of the pipeline was just left out and a general
`SURVEY' variable was set and never used. So with this commit, we actually
use a sample FITS file from the FITS standard webpage, show it (as well as
its histogram) and do some basic calculations on it.
This preparation of the input datasets is done in a generic way to enable
easy addition of more datasets if necessary.

Gnuastro is just one of the softwares used in the pipeline, so it is too
much to include its version just under the abstract. However, the version
of the pipeline is very important as well as the link to it. This change
puts more emphasis on these two more important points.

When the C compiler is not GNU GCC, linking with GNU Binutils is going to
cause problems. So until the time that we can include GCC into this
pipeline, its best to avoid Binutils also.
Also, for building CMake, we were relying on an installed CMake, but now,
we are using its own `./bootstrap' script, so it can be built even if the
host system doesn't have CMake.
Also, for TeX Live, we are now setting a custom file as main target to
avoid complications with symbolic links as targets in Make.
Finally, when the user says they don't want to re-write an existing
configuration file, no extra notices will be printed and the configure
script will immediately start building programs.

Since the final product of the pipeline is a LaTeX-created PDF file, it was
necessary to also have LaTeX within the pipeline. With this commit, TeX
Live is also built as part of the configuration and all the necessary
packages to build the PDF are also installed and mentioned in the paper
along with their versions.

Some minor corrections have been made in the paper's text to make things
easier to read and be more formal.
