Summary: this will not affect already built/configured projects, only
improving the portability of future builds.
Until this commit, no specific C standard version was given during the
build of Basic software (which use the host's c compiler, culminating in
the building of GCC within Maneage). On the other hand, GCC 15.1 was
recentely released and made available on some operating systems. GCC 15.1
has made C23 its standard C version (from C17), as a result, some of the
basic software crashed and didn't allow Maneage to built on those operating
systems.
With this commit, the '-std=c17' flag has been added to software that
crashed when the host GCC was 15.1. Also, they have been grouped with a
description of this problem in 'versions.conf' so we check the need for
this option in future version updates.
In parallel, some minor edits/clarifications were made in the two
'README-apptainer.md' and 'README-docker.md' files to be more useful.

Summary: it is necessary to re-configure your project (just running
'./project configure -e', not deleting 'build/software' to re-build
software) after this commit, see "Affected files" item below).
Until now, we only had a relatively long set of manual instructions for
building Maneage within Docker in the top-level README. This was hard to
automate, focing Maneage users to write custom commands based on the
instructions and maintain those scripts outside of Maneage. As a result,
experience could not be shared between projects (or at most in the README
file!).
With this commit, a new 'reproduce/software/containers' directory has been
created within Maneage that contains two scripts (with a unified interface)
greatly simplifying the building of the project's software environment
within a container (one script for Apptainer and one for Docker). Two
READMEs have been added for each container to help in their first time
usage. Also, the old checklist within the main README has been replaced
with a short introduction on containers and points the interested readers
to the custom README of each container technology.
Since we wanted the containers to be read-only after build, we needed to
fully decouple the 'build/software' and 'build/analysis', such that
'./project configure' only writes to the former and './project make' only
writes the latter. The file and directories mentioned in the affected files
are cases that both project phases was writing to the 'build/software' and
'build/analysis' directories.
Affected files: 'preparation-done.mk' and 'lockdir' which were previously
in the 'build/software' directory are now made during the 'make' phase and
the 'configure' phase no longer builds the 'build/analysis' or anything
within it. Also, the software version LaTeX macros (which were previously
written during the 'configure' phase in the 'analysis' directory) are now
written in the software directory and copied into the analysis for usage in
LaTeX while building the paper.
Other minor additions in this commit:
- The './project' script has a new '--timing' option to write the
starting and ending times of the project in a file. It also builds the
high-level analysis directories when './project make' is called (but
before calling 'top-make.mk'.
- The 'tar' calls in the custom build commands of the software building
Makefiles now have the '--no-same-owner --no-same-permissions' options
like the 'tar' call within the 'uncompress' function of
'build-rules.mk'.
This commit was originally written by Giacomo Lorenzetti only for Apptainer
on the registered commit date. It was later re-implemented from scratch by
Mohammad Akhlaghi to have a unified interface for both Apptainer and Docker
and merged into Maneage on 2025-04-23.
