2023-05-07Copyright years: updated to 2023, accompanied by some minor fixesMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
SUMMARY: just house-cleaning, no need to do anything major in your branch. Just update the copyright years in files that you have added. Until now, the latest copyright years of the whole Maneage source code was 2022! As of this commit, we have already moved to 2023 for 5 months! Furthermore, there were a few other minor issues that needed correction: - The URL to download input datasets wasn't quoted in 'initialize.mk' or the download script! As a result, when the input URL had characters that are meaningful to the shell (like '&'), the download command would not work. - The only program that had 'make check' in the 'basic.mk' programs was MPFR. At that stage, we still haven't built our own compiler at this stage, this is not accurate. - The 'pyerfa' and 'extension-helpers' packages in Python need 'setuptools_scm' on some systems. But until now, it was not in the list of their prerequisites. With this commit, all the issues above have been corrected.
2022-08-13IMPORTANT: Software updateMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
SUMMARY: This is a software update to make Maneage more portable and up to date. It does not involve any Maneage infrastructure changes. You should just re-build your project to make sure the updated software haven't removed/changed any of their features that you were using. In particular, for Astrometry.net users, please see the respective note in P.S.2 below. Until now, there have been many updates in the software that are built within Maneage. The last software upadte was almost one year ago. With this commit, the software in the P.S.1 have been updated. A description of notable changes in the software environment is given in P.S.2. This software environment has been tested on an Arch GNU/Linux, Debian, CentOS-7 and macOS. This commit is the merging of 24 individual commits by Raul Infante-Sainz (who put a lot of energy on porting the software below for macOS, and updating citations), Boudewijn Roukema (who helped with memory checking for GCC, and testing on Debian and CentOS), Sepideh Eskandarlou (who tested the environment) and myself. Besides the updates in the core software, the followimg improvements have also been implemented in this commit: - When you run './project shell': - A welcome message is printed that will remind the caller that they have entered a new environment, it will print the location of 'HOME' and the location of the shell startup file. - The 'reproduce/software/shell/bashrc.sh' is loaded as a startup file. This allows you to customize your interactive Maneage shell. A default step has already been placed there that will put the git branch name (in green) within the shell prompt (which was purple). This greatly helps when dealing with directories under Git version control. These settings won't bother with Maneage's default operations: through environment variables we make sure that these './project shell' features will not slow-down the calls to the shell within the non-interactive Make calls. - The host's 'COLORTERM' is passed to the Maneage environment. It is used by some programs that can have color outputs on the terminal. - Updates to citations: - Numpy and Scipy (as requested on their pages): https://numpy.org/citing-numpy and https://scipy.org/citing-scipy - Gnuastro: Added https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.11230 which describes major updates to Gnuastro after 10 releases. - When a software's paper is indexed in the SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS), Maneage now use the BibTeX entries provided by ADS. This helps to give a unified format to most software, and more information (like ADS+arXiv hyperlinks in the BibLaTeX compilation of the default bibliography). - We were able to build this version of Maneage on a Debian system from 2010 (+12 years ago!). Only three downgrades were necessary in the "basic" software (not affecting the high-level science software!). A description of the necessary downgrades for such old systems has been added in 'README.md'. P.S.1 List of updated software: Basic software: cURL 7.79.1 --> 7.84.0 Dash 0.5.11.5 --> 0.5.11-057cd65 File 5.41 --> 5.42 GNU AWK 5.1.0 --> 5.1.1 GNU Bash 5.1.8 --> 5.2-rc2 GNU Binutils 2.37 --> 2.39 GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 11.2.1 --> 12.1.0 GNU Findutils 4.8.0 --> 4.9.0 GNU Gzip 1.11 --> 1.12 GNU Help2man 1.48.5 --> 1.49.2 GNU Integer Set Library (ISL) 0.18 --> 0.24 GNU Libtool 2.4.6 --> 2.4.7 GNU Nano 6.0 --> 6.4 GNU Readline 8.1.1 --> 8.2-rc2 GNU libiconv 0.16 --> 0.17 Git 2.36.0 --> 2.37.1 OpenSSL 3.0.0 --> 3.0.5 PatchELF 0.13 --> 0.15.0 Perl 5.34.0 --> 5.36.0 High-level software: Astrometry.net 0.89 --> 0.91 CFITSIO 4.0.0 --> 4.1.0 CMake 3.21.4 --> 3.24.0 GNU Astronomy Utilities (Gnuastro) 0.16.1 --> 0.18 GPL Ghostscript 9.55.0 --> 9.56.1 HDF5 1.10.5 --> 1.13.1 Libjpeg 9d --> 9e Libtiff 4.3.0 --> 4.4.0 OpenBLAS 0.3.18 --> 0.3.21 PLplot n/a --> 5.15.0 Python 3.10.0 --> 3.10.6 SCAMP 2.6.7 --> 2.10.0 SWarp 2.38.0 --> 2.41.5 Util-Linux 2.37.2 --> 2.38.1 Vim 8.2 --> 9.0 WCSLIB 7.7 --> 7.11 X.org packages (used by graphical software like Ghostscript and LaTeX): Fontconfig 2.13.94 --> 2.14.0 LibX11 1.7.2 --> 1.8 LibXCB 1.14 --> 1.15 XCB-proto 1.14.1 --> 1.15 Xorg-proto 2021.5 --> 2022.1 Python modules: Astropy 5.0 --> 5.1 GalSim 2.3.3 --> 2.3.5 P.S.2: Notable points regarding the software environment: - Two new links from the host's low-level tools are now included in Maneage's build environment: - On GNU/Linux systems, the host's 'ldd' is linked inside the custom environment. This belongs to the GNU C Library (which is not yet installed in Maneage). But helps in checking the linking status of the binaries on GNU/Linux systems. - On macOS: the 'codesign' binary is included, which is used by GNU Emacs on macOS to sign the built executable. - GNU Bison has been moved in basic software (necessary for GNU Binutils). - The Zip and Unzip programs have been moved as high-level software that have to be manually requested when necessary. This is because they are not used by any of the basic software anymore. They were just installed as dependencies of GNU Tar to be close the other compression programs. Also, in the past we would use the original tarballs, and some (for example Numpy) were distributed in Zip format. However, by default, we now use a custom Lzip tarball and don't need Zip or Unzip. This was suggested by Zahra Sharbaf and Raul Infante-Sainz. - Some minor edits in 'reproduce/software/shell/tarball-prepare.sh'. In particular the 'awk' command was effectively just replacing a '_' with '-', so it just uses a simple SED expression instead. - Fixed bug 62700 (https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?62700) by compiling 'xz' with a patched version of the xz source file 'src/liblzma/liblzma.map'. - Astrometry.net doesn't depend on NetPBM any more. NetPBM (and its dependencies) were causing many crashes on macOS and it also a very strange build system that is hard to maintain. Astrometry.net uses it to take images as input. However, it isn't necessary when you provide Astrometry.net with a catalog. Therefore, Raul added some instructions on how to run astrometry from your own custom X-Y catalog. These instruction can be seen on top of the build rule of Astrometry.net in 'reproduce/software/make/high-level.mk'. - h5py has been removed as a dependency of Astropy. It is an optional dependency to write tables into HDF5 format. But since we couldn't get it to build on macOS it has been removed. None of the current Maneage users/developers also use this feature of Astropy! - PLplot is added a new software, but not a default pre-requisite of SCAMP (which can use it to generate figures), because there were many build problems on macOS. Instructions have been added on top of SCAMP on how to add PLplot as a dependency. - With the aim of being able to install Plplot on macOS, we have wrote several lines to fix header problems. However, we didn't succeed. In any case we are leaving these lines in case they are useful in the future. - The '-Wno-nullability-completeness' compiler flag (which is primarily necessary for macOS) is now only added for macOS systems. It was causing many warnings of un-recognized option in GNU/Linux systems. - The 'mkswap' program of Util-Linux has been disabled because it caused crashes on older kernels. Generally, its not necessary for a Maneage project because it needs root permissions to run! - LibXT (of the x.org software) has been added as a dependency of Cairo. - ImageMagick and Lzip were using the host's C++ standard library! But on GNU/Linux we build our own C++ Standard Library with GCC, so with this commit, they properly link with Maneage's C++ standard library. - ImageMagick on macOS couldn't properly link with Maneage's Ghostscript library! This has been fixed using macOS's install_name_tool. - Necessary RAM to build GCC on GNU/Linux systems changed to ~8GB, see https://savannah.nongnu.org/task/?16244#comment12 - Pythran is no longer as prerequisite of Scipy. Until now, Pythran was a prerequisite of Scipy. But we noticed that it is optional and was causing problems on macOS. - The URLs of some of the software have been updated in 'reproduce/software/config/urls.conf'. By default, these are all commented, but they can be useful when searching for new versions or when a project needs custom software that is not (yet) in Maneage.
2022-01-21IMPORTANT: Updates to almost all softwareMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+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. - The old version of newly added software are shown with '--'.

2021-01-02Copyright year updated in all source filesMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
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.
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.
2019-06-29Added citation for TIDES, sorted progs alphabeticallyMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+19
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.
