2018-11-25	Pipeline now downloads and uses an input dataset	Mohammad Akhlaghi	-0/+1
	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.
2018-11-22	Ghostscript was updated to version 9.26	Mohammad Akhlaghi	-1/+1
	A new version of the ghostscript package is now available, so the used version in the pipeline (previously 9.25) has been incremented to 9.26.
2018-11-19	Removed GNU Binutils, CMake's built with its own bootstrap	Mohammad Akhlaghi	-1/+0
	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.
2018-11-18	Pipeline also installs TeX live and necessary packages	Mohammad Akhlaghi	-0/+1
	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.
2018-11-17	TeX Live also built within the pipeline (no extra packages yet)	Mohammad Akhlaghi	-1/+1
	TeX Live is now also downloaded and built by the reproduction pipeline. Currently on the basic (TeX and LaTeX) source is built but no extra packages, so the PDF building will fail. We'll add them in the next commit.
2018-11-15	Binutils and other compressors also included in pipeline	Mohammad Akhlaghi	-0/+4
	To have better control over the build, GNU Binutils, Bzip2, GNU Gzip, and XZ Utils have also been added to the pipeline. Some other minor cleanups and fixes were also implemented throughout the process.
2018-11-15	Static linking flag added to LDFLAGS, using special Bash script	Mohammad Akhlaghi	-1/+1
	Until now, when a package was to be built statically, we were adding the `--static' option to `CFLAGS'. This was the wrong place to put it! It should be in the linking step (thus `LDFLAGS'). Also, based on Bash's configure script, we are now using the more generic form of `-static' (single dash, not double dash). On the other hand, the `--disable-shared' option isn't available in many of the packages and it is highly redundant with the `-static' option, so it has been removed to avoid an extra warning in such packages.
2018-11-14	Lzip and Tar also built as basic dependencies	Mohammad Akhlaghi	-0/+2
	To ensure the easy unpacking and building of the programs, Lzip and Tar are now also build during the initial setup phase. Some minor corrections were also applied to make things cleaner and smoother.
2018-11-13	Most library versions are now also checked	Mohammad Akhlaghi	-2/+2
	All the libraries that define their version string as a macro in their headers are now also checked in `reproduce/src/make/initialize.mk'. Also, the CFITSIO tarball now follows the same versioning style as the rest of the tarballs: a script is added to convert the version string into what is included in the tarball.
2018-11-13	Version of programs checked on each run of pipeline	Mohammad Akhlaghi	-4/+8
	The version of all programs is now checked in `reproduce/make/src/initialize.mk' and the pipeline won't complete if any of the program versions change from those listed in `reproduce/config/pipeline/dependency-versions.mk'. Since the pipeline is systematically checking all program versions, we don't need Gnuastro's `--onlyversion' option any more. So it (and all references to it) have been removed.
2018-11-12	Libcurl, Git, CMake, TIFF, Zlib also built at configure time	Mohammad Akhlaghi	-1/+6
	During the configuration step several new programs that were necessary for a more complete controlled environment are now also downloaded and built statically.
2018-11-12	Dependencies built at the start of the pipeline	Mohammad Akhlaghi	-0/+15
	To enable easy/proper reproduction of results, all the high-level dependencies are now built within the pipeline and installed in a fixed directory that is added to the PATH of the Makefile. This includes GNU Bash and GNU Make, which are then used to run the pipeline. The `./configure' script will first build Bash and Make within itself, then it will build All the dependencies are also built to be static. So after they are built, changing of the system's low-level libraries (like C library) won't change the tarballs. Currently the C library and C compiler aren't built within the pipeline, but we'll hopefully add them to the build process also. With this change, we now have full control of the shell and Make that will be used in the pipeline, so we can safely remove some of the generalities we had before.
