2020-08-08IMPORTANT: New software versions (17 basic, 16 high-level and 7 Python)Mohammad Akhlaghi-40/+40
It was a long time that the Maneage software versions hadn't been updated. With this commit, the versions of all basic software were checked and 17 of that had newer versions were updated. Also, 16 high-level programs and libraries were updated as well as 7 Python modules. The full list is available below.

2020-06-30Core Xorg libraries necessary for Ghostscript now includedMohammad Akhlaghi-3/+20
Until now, in order to build Ghostscript, the project used the host's Xorg libraries. This was because we hadn't yet added the necessary build rules for them. With this commit, the instructions to build the necessary Xorg libraries for Ghostscript have also been added. Also, the shared Ghostscript library has been built with this commit and two sets of standard fonts are also included, setting us on the path to build TeXLive from source later. This task was done with the help and support of Raul Infante-Sainz.
2020-06-28Bison installation on macOS fixed by updating to version 3.6Raul Infante-Sainz-1/+1
Until this commit, there was a problem when building Bison in parallel in macOS systems. With this commit, this problem has been fixed by updating Bison to its most recent version (3.6).
2020-06-27IMPORTANT: many improvements to low-level software building phaseMohammad Akhlaghi-5/+7
POSSIBLE EFFECT ON YOUR PROJECT: The changes in this commit may only cause conflicts to your project if you have changed the software building Makefiles in your project's branch (e.g., 'basic.mk', 'high-level.mk' and 'python.mk'). If your project has only added analysis, it shouldn't be affected. This is a large commit, involving a long series of corrections in a differnt branch which is now finally being merged into the core Maneage branch. All changes were related and came up naturally as the low-level infrastructure was improved. So separating them in the end for the final merge would have been very time consuming and we are merging them as one commit. In general, the software building Makefiles are now much more easier to read, modify and use, along with several new features that have been added. See below for the full list. - Until now, Maneage needed the host to have a 'make' implementation because Make was necessary to build Lzip. Lzip is then used to uncompress the source of our own GNU Make. However, in the minimalist/slim versions of operating systems (for example used to build Docker images) Make isn't included by default. Since Lzip was the only program before our own GNU Make was installed, we consulting Antonio Diaz Diaz (creator of Lzip) and he kindly added the necessary functionality to a new version of Lzip, which we are using now. Hence we don't need to assume a Make implementation on the host any more. With this commit, Lzip and GNU Make are built without Make, allowing everything else to be safely built with our own custom version of GNU Make and not using the host's 'make' at all. - Until recently (Commit 3d8aa5953c4) GNU Make was built in 'basic.mk'. Therefore 'basic.mk' was written in a way that it can be used with other 'make' implementations also (i.e., important shell commands starting with '&&' and ending in '\' without any comments between them!). Furthermore, to help in style uniformity, the rules in 'high-level.mk' and 'python.mk' also followed a similar structure. But due to the point above, we can now guarantee that GNU Make is used from the very first Makefile, so this hard-to-read structure has been removed in the software build recipes and they are much more readable and edit-friendly now. - Until now, the default backup servers where at some fixed URLs, on our own pages or on Gitlab. But recently we uploaded all the necessary software to Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3883409) which is more suitable for this task (it promises longevity, has a fixed DOI, while allowing us to add new content, or new software tarball versions). With this commit, a small script has been written to extract the most recent Zenodo upload link from the Zenodo DOI and use it for downloading the software source codes. - Until now, we primarily used the webpage of each software for downloading its tarball. But this caused many problems: 1) Some of them needed Javascript before the download, 2) Some URLs had a complex dependency on the version number, 3) some servers would be randomly down for maintenance and etc. So thanks to the point above, we now use the Zenodo server as the primary download location. However, if a user wants to use a custom software that is not (yet!) in Zenodo, the download script gives priority to a custom URL that the users can give as Make variables. If that variable is defined, then the script will use that URL before going onto Zenodo. We now have a special place for such URLs: 'reproduce/software/config/urls.conf'. The old URLs (which are a good documentation themselves) are preserved here, but are commented by default. - The software source code downloading and checksum verification step has been moved into a Make function called 'import-source' (defined in the 'build-rules.mk' and loaded in all software Makefiles). Having taken all the low-level steps there, I noticed that there is no more need for having the tarball as a separate target! So with this commit, a single rule is the only place that needs to be edited/added (greatly simplifying the software building Makefiles). - Following task #15272, A new option has been added to the './project' script called '--all-highlevel'. When this option is given, the contents of 'TARGETS.conf' are ignored and all the software in Maneage are built (selected by parsing the 'versions.conf' file). This new option was added to confirm the extensive changes made in all the software building recipes and is great for development/testing purposes. - Many of the software hadn't been tested for a long time! So after using the newly added '--all-highlevel', we noticed that some need to be updated. In general, with this commit, 'libpaper' and 'pcre' were added as new software, and the versions of the following software was updated: 'boost', 'flex', 'libtirpc', 'openblas' and 'lzip'. A 'run-parts.in' shell script was added in 'reproduce/software/shell/' which is installed with 'libpaper'. - Even though we intentionally add the necessary flags to add RPATH inside the built executable at compilation time, some software don't do it (different software on different operating systems!). Until now, for historical reasons this check was done in different ways for different software on GNU/Linux sytems. But now it is unified: if 'patchelf' is present we apply it. Because of this, 'patchelf' has been put as a top-level prerequisite, right after Tar and is installed before anything else. - In 'versions.conf', GNU Libtool is recognized as 'libtool', but in 'basic.mk', it was 'glibtool'! This caused many confusions and is corrected with this commit (in 'basic.mk', it is also 'libtool'). - A new argument is added to the './project' script to allow easy loading of the project's shell and environment for fast/temporary testing of things in the same environment as the project. Before activating the project's shell, we completely remove all host environment variables to simulate the project's environment. It can be called with this command: './project shell'. A simple prompt has also been added to highlight that the user is using the Maneage shell!
2020-06-02Core software build before using Make to build other softwareMohammad Akhlaghi-4/+5
Until now, Maneage would only build Flock before building everything else using Make (calling 'basic.mk') in parallel. Flock was necessary to avoid parallel downloads during the building of software (which could cause network problems). But after recently trying Maneage on FreeBSD (which is not yet complete, see bug #58465), we noticed that the BSD implemenation of Make couldn't parse 'basic.mk' (in particular, complaining with the 'ifeq' parts) and its shell also had some peculiarities. It was thus decided to also install our own minimalist shell, Make and compressor program before calling 'basic.mk'. In this way, 'basic.mk' can now assume the same GNU Make features that high-level.mk and python.mk assume. The pre-make building of software is now organized in 'reproduce/software/shell/pre-make-build.sh'. Another nice feature of this commit is for macOS users: until now the default macOS Make had problems for parallel building of software, so 'basic.mk' was built in one thread. But now that we can build the core tools with GNU Make on macOS too, it uses all threads. Furthermore, since we now run 'basic.mk' with GNU Make, we can use '.ONESHELL' and don't have to finish every line of a long rule with a backslash to keep variables and such. Generally, the pre-make software are now organized like this: first we build Lzip before anything else: it is downloaded as a simple '.tar' file that is not compressed (only ~400kb). Once Lzip is built, the pre-make phase continues with building GNU Make, Dash (a minimalist shell) and Flock. All of their tarballs are in '.tar.lz'. Maneage then enters 'basic.mk' and the first program it builds is GNU Gzip (itself packaged as '.tar.lz'). Once Gzip is built, we build all the other compression software (all downloaded as '.tar.gz'). Afterwards, any compression standard for other software is fine because we have it. In the process, a bug related to using backup servers was found in 'reproduce/analysis/bash/download-multi-try' for calling outside of 'basic.mk' and removed Bash-specific features. As a result of that bug-fix, because we now have multiple servers for software tarballs, the backup servers now have their own configuration file in 'reproduce/software/config/servers-backup.conf'. This makes it much easier to maintain the backup server list across the multiple places that we need it. Some other minor fixes: - In building Bzip2, we need to specify 'CC' so it doesn't use 'gcc'. - In building Zip, the 'generic_gcc' Make option caused a crash on FreeBSD (which doesn't have GCC). - We are now using 'uname -s' to specify if we are on a Linux kernel or not, if not, we are still using the old 'on_mac_os' variable. - While I was trying to build on FreeBSD, I noticed some further corrections that could help. For example the 'makelink' Make-function now takes a third argument which can be a different name compared to the actual program (used for examle to make a link to '/usr/bin/cc' from 'gcc'. - Until now we didn't know if the host's Make implementation supports placing a '@' at the start of the recipe (to avoid printing the actual commands to standard output). Especially in the tarball download phase, there are many lines that are printed for each download which was really annoying. We already used '@' in 'high-level.mk' and 'python.mk' before, but now that we also know that 'basic.mk' is called with our custom GNU Make, we can use it at the start for a cleaner stdout. - Until now, WCSLIB assumed a Fortran compiler, but when the user is on a system where we can't install GCC (or has activated the '--host-cc' option), it may not be present and the project shouldn't break because of this. So with this commit, when a Fortran compiler isn't present, WCSLIB will be built with the '--disable-fortran' configuration option. This commit (task #15667) was completed with help/checks by Raul Infante-Sainz and Boud Roukema.
2020-05-23New software: Valgrind and PatchBoud Roukema-0/+2
With this commit, Maneage now includes instructions to build the memory tracing tool Valgrind and the program 'patch' (to apply corrections/patches in text files and in particular the sources of programs). For this version of Valgrind, some patches were necessary for an interface with OpenMPI 2.x (which is the case now). Also note that this version of Valgrind's checks can fail with GCC 10.1.x (when using '--host-cc'), and the failures aren't due to internal problems but due to how the tests are designed (https://bugs.gentoo.org/707598). So currently if any of Valgrind's checks fail, Maneage still assumes that Valgrind was built and installed successfully. While testing on macOS, we noticed that it needs the macOS-specific 'mig' program which we can't build in Maneage. DESCRIPTION: The mig command invokes the Mach Interface Generator to generate Remote Procedure Call (RPC) code for client-server style Mach IPC from specification files. So a symbolic link to the system's 'mig' is now added to the project's programs on macOS systems. This commit's build of Patch and Valgrind has been tested on two GNU/Linux distributions (Debian and ArchLinux) as well as macOS. Work on this commit started by Boud Roukema, but also involved tests and corrections by Mohammad Akhlaghi and Raul Infante-Sainz.
2020-05-22Corrected copyright notices to fit GPL suggested formatMohammad Akhlaghi-9/+4
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
2020-05-08GNU Gettext built as a dependency of BashRaul Infante-Sainz-2/+5
Until now Maneage used the host's GNU Gettext if it was present. Gettext is a relatively low-level software that enables programs to print messages in different languages based on the host environment. Even though it has not direct effect on the running of the software for Maneage and the lanugage environment in Maneage is pre-determined, it is necessary to have it because if the basic programs see it in the host they will link with it and will have problems if/when the host's Gettext is updated. With this commit (which is actually a squashed rebase of 9 commits by Raul and Mohammad), Gettext and its two extra dependencies (libxml2 and libunistring) are now installed within Maneage as a basic software and built before GNU Bash. As a result, all programs built afterwards will successfully link with our own internal version of Gettext and libraries. To get this working, some of the basic software dependencies had to updated and re-ordered and it has been tested in both GNU/Linux and macoS. Some other minor issues that are fixed with this commit - Until this commit, when TeX was not installed, the warning message saying how to run the configure step in order to re-configure the project was not showing the option `-e'. However, the use of this option is more convenient than entering the top-build directory and etc every time. So with this commit, the warning message has been changed in order use the option `-e' in the re-configure of the project. - Until now, on macOS systems, Bash was not linking with our internally built `libncurses'. With this commit, this has been fixed by setting `--withcurses=yes' for Bash's configure script.
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-0/+199
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.
