2020-12-01Default paper: macros available for date of commits citedMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+5
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.
2020-10-18Recipes for final initialize and verify targets not on stdoutMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+5
The LaTeX macro files for these two subMakefiles are created on every run of './project make'. So their commands are also printed every time and hardly ever will a normal user want to modify or change these. So to avoid populating the standard output of a Maneaged project with all these extra lines every time (possibly getting mixed with the important analysis or LaTeX outputs), an '@' has been placed at the start of the recipes. With an '@' at the start of the recipe, Make is instructed to not print the commands it wants to run in the standard output.
2020-09-24Gnuastro's analysis configuration files removedMohammad Akhlaghi-5/+2
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.
2020-08-02initialize.mk: accounting for no maneage branchBoud Roukema-3/+8
One of the LaTeX macros reported by 'initialize.mk' is the git commit hash of the most recent 'maneage' branch that the project has been branched from. However, not all projects will retain the maneage reference. This can happen for example when people don't push the 'maneage' reference to their repository and then clone from their own repository to a second computer. Therefore, until now, in such situations, Maneage would break with an error. With this commit, in such scenarios, a place holder string is used instead, clearly highlighting that there is no 'maneage' reference.
2020-07-20make dist: only archive files that are under version controlBoud Roukema-17/+31
Until this commit, the '$(project-package-contents)' rules in 'reproduce/analysis/make/initialize.mk' included a line to provide all contents, recursively, of the directory 'reproduce/' in the package for further distribution. This could potentially lead to the distribution of private working files that are used during development and not intended for general distribution. With this commit, only those files in 'reproduce/' and 'tex/src' that are under version control are copied to the temporary directory (that is later used for creating an archive). With this change, the archiving commands actually became more clean (we don't have to manually remove 'LOCAL.conf' or other temporary files). Extensive comments have also been added above each step to clarify each step's purpose and method.
2020-07-07Project distribution tarball can account for no PDFs in tex/tikzMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+6
Until now the './project make dist' command implicitly assumed that the 'tex/tikz' directory always contains PDF files (because of the 'cp tex/tikz/*.pdf $$dir/tex/tikz' line). This was annoying for projects that don't use TiKZ or PGFPlots to generate their plots, and they had to manually comment this line. With this commit a check has been placed to see if any PDF files exist in there at all. If there aren't PDF files, the 'cp' command above is ignored.
2020-07-04Commit hash of Maneage branch used to build project as LaTeX macroMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+6
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').
2020-06-30The distclean target accounts for non-existance of git hooksMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
Until now, when the user wanted to complete remove all built files (including software), the './project make distclean' command would fail if the git hooks weren't installed. They are present when the project's configuration has been successfully finished, but this bug can happen when trying to re-do an incomplete build. With this commit, this is fixed by adding an '-f' has been added before the 'rm' command for the Git hooks.
2020-06-19Removing preparation-done.mk when cleaning by ./project make cleanRaul Infante-Sainz-0/+1
Until this commit, the file `BDIR/software/preparation-done.mk' were not removed when cleaning the project with `./project make clean'. This file is generated in the preparation of the data during the analysis step. However, the cleaning is expected to remove anything generated in the analysis process! Step by step, with the commands: ./project make ---> Will make the preparation and analysis ./project make clean ---> Will remove all analysis outputs (but not `preparation-done.mk') ./project make ---> Won't do the preparation, only analysis! However, in the last step it should do the preparation again, because the input data could have change for any reason. With this commit, the file `BDIR/software/preparation-done.mk' is removed when cleaning the project, and consequently, in the analysis step the input data is prepared.
2020-06-17New target --dist-software to package all necessary software tarballsMohammad Akhlaghi-6/+2
When publishing a project, it is necessary to also publish the source code of all necessary software of the project. We had recently added a new './project make' target called 'dist-software' for this job, but had forgotten to add it in the output of './project --help'! There was also a small bug inside of it that didn't allow the successful copying of the created tarball to the top project directory. With this commit, an explanation for this target has been added in the output of './project --help' and that bug has been fixed.
2020-06-09Minor edit printing arXiv URL in plain text metadataMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
Until now, in the 'print-copyright' function of 'initialize.mk' (that prints a fixed set of common meta necessary in plain-text files), we were simply printing this line: # Pre-print server: arXiv:1234.56789 But given that all the other elements are click-able URLs, it now prints: # Pre-print server: https://arxiv.org/abs/1234.56789
2020-06-06IMPORTANT: Added publication checklist, improved relevant infrastructureMohammad Akhlaghi-24/+111
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.
2020-05-22Corrected copyright notices to fit GPL suggested formatMohammad Akhlaghi-8/+11
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
2020-04-26Corrected Gnuastro configuration directory in initialize.mkZahra Sharbaf-1/+1
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.
2020-04-20Maneage instead of Template in README-hacking.md and copyright noticesMohammad Akhlaghi-11/+8
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.
2020-04-17IMPORTANT: software config directly under reproduce/software/configMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+2
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.
2020-04-13Configure (TeXLive): Year of distribution no longer in directoryMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
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.
2020-02-01IMPORTANT: reproduce/software/bash renamed to reproduce/software/shellMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+2
Until now the shell scripts in the software building phase were in the `reproduce/software/bash' directory. But given our recent change to a POSIX-only start, the `configure.sh' shell script (which is the main component of this directory) is no longer written with Bash. With this commit, to fix that problem, that directory's name has been changed to `reproduce/software/shell'.
2020-01-31Configure step: compiler checks done before basic settingsMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+6
Until now, the project would first ask for the basic directories, then it would start testing the compiler. But that was problematic because the build directory can come from a previous setting (with `./project configure -e'). Also, it could confuse users to first ask for details, then suddently tell them that you don't have a working C library! We also need to store the CPATH variable in the `LOCAL.conf' because in some cases, the compiler won't work without it. With this commit, the compiler checking has been moved at the start of the configure script. Instead of putting the test program in the build directory, we now make a temporary hidden directory in the source directory and delete that directory as soon as the tests are done. In the process, I also noticed that the copyright year of the two hidden files weren't updated and corrected them.
2020-01-20IMPORTANT!!! Configuration Makefiles now have a .conf suffixMohammad Akhlaghi-4/+5
Until now, the configuration Makefiles (in `reproduce/software/config/installation' and `reproduce/analysis/config') had a `.mk' suffix, similar to the workhorse Makefiles. Although they are indeed Makefiles, but given their nature (to only keep configuration parameters), it is confusing (especially to early users) for them to also have a `.mk' (similar to the analysis or software building Makefiles). To address this issue, with this commit, all the configuration Makefiles (in those directories) are now given a `.conf' suffix. This is also assumed for all the files that are loaded. The configuration (software building) and running of the template have been checked with this change from scratch, but please report any error that may not have been noticed. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT CHANGE AND WILL CAUSE CRASHES OR UNEXPECTED BEHAVIORS FOR PROJECTS THAT HAVE BRANCHED FROM THIS TEMPLATE. PLEASE CORRECT THE SUFFIX OF ALL YOUR PROJECT'S CONFIGURATION MAKEFILES (IN THE DIRECTORIES ABOVE), OTHERWISE THEY AREN'T AUTOMATICALLY LOADED ANYMORE.
2020-01-01Copyright statements updated to include 2020Mohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
Now that its 2020, its necessary to include this year in the copyright statements.
2019-10-31Minor corrections in distribution and autoconf prerequisite of automakeMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+1
Some minor corrections were made in the template: - When making the distribution, `.swp' files (created by Vim) are also removed. - Autoconf is set as a prerequisite of Automake I was also trying to add the Apache log4cxx, but its default 0.10.0 tarball needs some patches, so I have just left it half done until someone actually needs it and we apply the patch.
2019-10-19Minor improvments in packaging of project with make distMohammad Akhlaghi-12/+14
The steps to package the project have been made slightly more clear and also the temporary directory that is created for packaging is deleted after the tarball is made.
2019-10-11Properly working make clean when in group modeMohammad Akhlaghi-3/+4
Until now, when you ran `make clean', all the directories under `$(BDIR)/tex/' would be deleted except for `macros' and `build'. This was good for the single-user mode. But in group mode, this would delete the user-specific TeX build directory because its called `build-USER', not `build'. With this commit, to fix the problem, we define the new `texbtopdir' and based on the group condition, and use that to specify which directory to not delete.
2019-10-01Infrastructure to keep preparation resultsMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+24
A special directory is now defined in `initialize.mk' that can be used in both the preparation and build phases. Also, the contents of prepared results can now be conditionally read during `./project make'.
2019-09-26Working project when downloaded from arXivMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+4
Until now, we were assuming that the users would just clone the project in Git. But after submitting arXiv:1909.11230, and trying to build directly from the arXiv source, I noticed several problems that wouldn't allow users to build it automatically. So I tried the build step by step and was able to find a fix for the several issues that came up. The scripting parts of the fix were primarily related to the fact that the unpacked arXiv tarball isn't under version control, so some checks had to be put there. Also, we wanted to make it easy to remove the extra files, so an extra `--clean-texdit' option was added to `./project'. Finally, some manual corrections were necessary (prior to running `./project', which are now described in `README.md'. Most of the later steps can be automated and we should do it later, I just don't have enough time now.
2019-09-25Won't copy previous distribution builds in new distributionMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
Until now, the pipeline was instructed to only ignore the current temporary project distribution directory. So if there were directories from previous builds, they were wrongly included in the current tarball. With this commit, we don't just ignore the directory of the current distribution, but generally, all directories starting with `paper-v*'.
2019-09-16Git checksum printed even when on a tagMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+2
Until now, when the commit was tagged, `git describe' would just print the tag and no longer the commit checksum. This is bad because the checksum is a much more robust way to confirm the point in history. With this commit the `--long' option has been added to `git describe' to fix this issue. From now on, when we are on a tag, it will print the tag followed by a `-0-' and the first characters of the checksum.
2019-09-16Distribution tarball now builds in arXivMohammad Akhlaghi-8/+25
`./project make dist' will package all the LaTeX-specific files (and analysis source files) into one `tar.gz' file that is ready to upload to servers like arXiv. However, it wasn't updated for some time, so running it would complain about not having a `configure' script in the top of the project. With this commit, it now works with the new file-structure of the project and also copies all the BibLaTeX source files and `paper.bbl' into the top tarball directory, which allows arXiv to build the paper as intended. The output of `./project make dist' has been uploaded and tested on arXiv and it is built by arXiv perfectly. Also, a short description of all the special `make' targets was added to the output of `./project --help'.
2019-08-22OpenMPI environment variable used to disable need for OpenSSHMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+5
Until now, OpenMPI would complain about not having `ssh' or `rsh' as a remote shell feature. However, such features should not be necessary in a reproducible scenario and they also have major security issues. With this commit, we are now using OpenMPI's `OMPI_MCA_plm_rsh_agent' environment variable to disable any remote shell dependency for it (as suggested by Boud). Therefore, any dependency for OpenSSH has been removed. But I thought to keep the build instructions incase it may be useful under some un-foreseen scenario. However, to discourage people from building it, a notice was added ontop of the build instructions. This bug was found, tested and solved thanks to Roberto Baena Gallé and Boud Roukema. This fixes bug #56724.
2019-08-01Git hooks removed after doing a distcleanMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+5
Until now, when you needed to completely clean a project (with `./project make distclean') the Git hooks that are installed during configure time would cause problems when committing (the `pre-commit' hook in particular won't allow you to commit anything!). With this commit, before deleting the software, the template first removes these Git hooks.
2019-08-01Bash startup script for every recipeMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+4
Until now the only way to define the environment of the Make recipes was through the exported Make variables (mostly in `initialize.mk' for the analysis steps for example). However, there is only so much you can do with environment variables! In some situations you want slightly more complicated environment control, like setting an alias or running of scripts (things that are commonly done in the `~/.bashrc' file of users to configure their interactive, non-login shells). With this commit, a `reproduce/software/bash/bashrc.sh' has been defined for this job (which is currently empty!). Every major Make step of the project adds this file as the `BASH_ENV' environment variable, so the shell that is created to execute a recipe first executes this file, then the recipe. Each top-level Makefile also defines a `PROJECT_STATUS' environment variable that enables users to limit their envirnoment setup based on the condition it is being setup (in particular in the early phase of `basic.mk', where the user can't make any assumption about the programs and has to write a portable shell script).
2019-07-28Corrected typo in environment before running makeMohammad Akhlaghi-3/+3
We recently moved the system's `rm' program absolute address to a shell variable that is found during the `./project' script. But I had forgot to account for the difference between the Make and Bash variable naming differences. I had also forgot to add a value to the HOME variable. With this commit both are corrected: the system's `rm' path is now called `sys_rm' and the HOME variable is set.
2019-07-28Single wrapper instead of old ./configure, Makefile and ./for-groupMohammad Akhlaghi-8/+12
Until now, to work on a project, it was necessary to `./configure' it and build the software. Then we had to run `.local/bin/make' to run the project and do the analysis every time. If the project was a shared project between many users on a large server, it was necessary to call the `./for-group' script. This way of managing the project had a major problem: since the user directly called the lower-level `./configure' or `.local/bin/make' it was not possible to provide high-level control (for example limiting the environment variables). This was especially noticed recently with a bug that was related to environment variables (bug #56682). With this commit, this problem is solved using a single script called `project' in the top directory. To configure and build the project, users can now run these commands: $ ./project configure $ ./project make To work on the project with other users in a group these commands can be used: $ ./project configure --group=GROUPNAME $ ./project make --group=GROUPNAME The old options to both configure and make the project are still valid. Run `./project --help' to see a list. For example: $ ./project configure -e --host-cc $ ./project make -j8 The old `configure' script has been moved to `reproduce/software/bash/configure.sh' and is called by the new `./project' script. The `./project' script now just manages the options, then passes control to the `configure.sh' script. For the "make" step, it also reads the options, then calls Make. So in the lower-level nothing has changed. Only the `./project' script is now the single/direct user interface of the project. On a parallel note: as part of bug #56682, we also found out that on some macOS systems, the `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable has to be set to blank. This is no problem because RPATH is automatically set in macOS and the executables and libraries contain the absolute address of the libraries they should link with. But having `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH' can conflict with some low-level system libraries and cause very hard to debug linking errors (like that reported in the bug report). This fixes bug #56682.
2019-07-27DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH also fixed for macOS systemsMohammad Akhlaghi-7/+8
Until now we were only setting the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable for GNU/Linux systems. But macOS systems use the `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH'. With this commit, for better control over the environment, we are also fixing `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH' in all the places that we are setting the general environment variables.
2019-06-29Added citation for TIDES, sorted progs alphabeticallyMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+5
While reviewing Prasenjit's commits, I noticed that we had forgot to add the citation for TIDES, also to make things clear, the program/library build rules are now sorted alphabetically. Finally, I noticed that after building the TiKZ PDF figures, it is crashing (like on Prasenjit's computer). After looking around, I noticed its because we were setting the of the `TEXINPUTS' environment variable to be the installed TeX Live directory (which was ultimately redundant because by default TeX will look into where it was installed). The important thing is just that we remove any possible value the host system has, not to set new directories.
2019-06-28Corrections to basic buildPrasenjit Saha-1/+1
Several corrections were necessary in the basic build: 1) the version of GCC on some systems includes an `_' which would cause a crash when building the PDF. 2) libcharset had to be manually added to the Git build.
2019-05-21Source directory links to build directory all managed in configureMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+0
Until now, the `tex/build' symbolic link was put in the clone/source tree when the build-directory's `tex' directory was being built. Thanks to Roberto Baena, we just found a bug because of this behavior: when a second group member is trying to build the pipeline, since the build directory's `tex' directory already exists, no `tex/build' will be put in their clone/source directory. As a result, the PDF building will crash. To fix this (and keep things organized), the two `tex/build' and `tex/tikz' links (to the build directory) are now built in the configure step while it is building all the top-level directories. They are no longer built within the Makefiles. Also, a comment was added on top of every directory built during the configuration phase to be clear. This fixes bug #56362.
2019-04-29Fixed a few architecture remnants in initialize.mkMohammad Akhlaghi-33/+3
In a few cases, `reproduce/analysis/make/initialize.mk' still assumed the old architecture. With this commit, they have been corrected.
2019-04-15New architecture to separate software-building and analysis stepsMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+339
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).
