Python's `lmfit' module and all its major dependencies (`asteval',
`corner', `emcee' and `uncertainties') have been included in the template.
While doing this I noticed that if the tarballs are the last prerequisite
of each software building rule, then when building in parallel, the
template will immediately start building packages as soon as the first one
is downloaded. Not like the current way that it will attempt to download
several, then start building. For now, this has been implemented in the
Python build rules for all the modules and we'll later do the same for the
other programs and libraries. This also motivated a simplification of the
`pybuild' function: it now internally looks into the prerequisites and
selects the tarball from the prerequisite that is in the tarballs
directory.
This isn't a problem for the build, but I just don't understand why Python
can't recognize the version of `emcee', Python reads the version of `emcee'
as `0.0.0'! But it doesn't cause any crash in the build, so for now its
fine.

The tarball of HEALPix includes multiple languages and doesn't include the
ready-to-run GNU Build System by default, we actually have to build the
`./configure' script for the C/C++ libraries. So it was necessary to also
include GNU Autoconf and GNU Automake as prerequisites of HEALPix.
However, the official GNU Autoconf tarball (dating from 2012) doesn't build
on modern systems, so I just cloned it from its source and bootstrapped it
and built its modern tarball which we are using here.

|
The following software are added with this commit: eigency, esutil, flake8,
future, galsim, lsstdesccoord, pybind11 and pyflakes.
|
|
As part of an effort to bring in all the dependencies of the LSST Science
pipeline (which includes the last commit), these software are now available
in the template.
|
|
With this commit these three software packages are now installable with
this template.
|
|
Carlos Morales Socorro reported that his LaTeX build was missing the
`trimspaces' package, so it is now included in the pipeline.
|
|
Until now, some software were using the depreciated ADS URL
(`http://adsabs.harvard.edu....') and some were using the modern one
(`http://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu').
With this commit, to be consistent they all link to the modern URL.

Since ImageMagick can take long to build, we are now building it in
parallel. Also, the part where we replace an `_' with `\_' in the software
version at the end of the configure script was removed. It is more
clear/readable that the actual rule that includes such a name deals with
the underline (as is the case for `sip_tpv' which already dealt with it).
Finally, I noticed that the checks at the start of `top-prepare' were
missing new-lines. I had forgot that the Make single-shell variable isn't
activated in this stage yet.
|

In many real-world scenarios, `./project make' can really benefit from
having some basic information about the data before being run. For example
when quering a server. If we know how many datasets were downloaded and
their general properties, it can greatly optmize the process when we are
designing the solution to be run in `./project make'.
Therefore with this commit, a new phase has been added to the template's
design: `./project prepare'. In the raw template this is empty, because the
simple analysis done in the template doesn't warrant it. But everything is
ready for projects using the template to add preparation phases prior to
the analysis.
|
|
It was some time since these three software were not updated! With this
commit the template now uses the most recent stable release of these
packages.
Also, the hosting server for ImageMagick was moved to my own webpage
because unfortunately ImageMagick removes its tarballs from its own
version.
|
|
Until now we were calling it `Sextractor', but the official way of writing
it is `SExtractor'. With this commit, this has been corrected.
|
|
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.

Users that are not familiar with the file structure of the project may
specify the current directory (to-level source directory) as their
build-directory. This will cause a crash right after answering the
questions, where `rm' will complain about `tex/build' not being deleted
because it exists as a directory.
To avoid such confusing situtations, the configure script now checks if the
build directory is actually a sub-directory of the source. If it is, it
will complain with a short message and abort. Also, a `CAUTION' statment
has been put in the initial description, right ontop of the question.
This bug was reported Carlos Allende Prieto and David Valls-Gabaud.
|
|
Until now the SExtractor BibTeX entry has the first-name and family name in
the same field, while the family-name should be in curly braces. Also, it
was missing an ADS URL. So the default ADS generated BibTeX entry for
SExtractor is now used instead of the old one.

New versions of astropy, bash, cmake, curl, findutils, gawk, gcc,
ghostscript, git, make, gsl had recently come so they are updated with this
commit.
About GNU Findutils and GNU Make: I was bootstrapping (building the tarball
of) these two separately separately because their standard tarball release
had problems on some systems. Both have been updated now so I am no longer
using my own webpage as their main URL.
A special note about GNU Make. I just noticed that during bootstrapping,
GNU Make would use the fixed version string of `4.2.90' for any commit!!!
But fortunately they have officially released their 4.2.90 version, so we
are safely using their own webpage. The only difference is the compression
format. My old bootstrapped build was `tar.lz', but the standard release is
`tar.gz'.
Also, all the basic programs (installed in `.local/bin') in `basic.mk' are
now existance-only dependencies (after a `|'). Because later programs just
use them at a very basic level, so there is no need to rebuild everything
when Bash gets updated for example.
|

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.

Until now we have followed the convention of using space characters before
comment lines in recepies, not tabs. This has been corrected in one case.
|
|
Until this commit, `fpack' and `funpack' were not installed by default
with the installation of CFITSIO. It is necessary to explicity do a
`make fpack' and `make funpack' to have them installed. With this
commit, these two programs have been added.
|
|
Until this commit, the name of the variable for `beautifulsoup4'
checksum was wrong, and because of that, it was not able to install it.
With this commit, `beautifulsoup-checksum' has been replaced for
`beautifulsoup4-checksum' in the `reproduce/software/make/python.mk'
Makefile, and the problem has been fixed. This was not noticed
previously because this Python package is only installed when some high
level programs are requested to be installed.
With this commit the version of `imagemagick' program has been also
updated because the previous version is not available in the official
website anymore.

There were no conflicts in this merge.

When trying to install `libgit2' on my macOS system, it complains about
not finding `_iconv*' functions! But apparently `libgit2' has its own
implementation of `libiconv' that it uses if it can't find `libiconv' on
macOS. So, the solution to this problem was to add `-DUSE_ICONV=OFF' to
the configuration options of `libgit2'.
I reported this issue that now is fixed thanks to the help of Mohammad
Akhlaghi.

Recently the version of Gnuastro in the template was updated to version
0.10. However, I had forgot to update the `gnuastro.conf' file to fit with
the necessary new features of this version. The new general Gnuastro
configuration file is now added instead.
This bug was reported by Deepak.

Until now, we weren't explicitly telling libtiff to ignore JBIG-KIT. So on
some systems, it would try to link withit and would thus fail.
With this commit, we have disabled JBIG-KIT support for libtiff. I tried to
import it into the template, but it doesn't have use the standard GNU Build
system. Maybe later we can add a set of build rules for it, I don't have
time now.
Also, this problem with libtiff occurred while building Ghostscript. But
was fixed after adding this option to libtiff. So libtiff was added as a
dependency of Ghostscript.
This bug was reported by Sheeraz Ahmad.

Until now we weren't setting OpenSSH's `privsep-path' configure option. As
a result, it would try to use its default (`/var/empty'). Therefore, when
the host doesn't have `/var/empty', OpenSSH would crash because of not
having permissions to create this directory.
With this commit, we are now using OpenSSH's `--with-privsep-path'
configure-time option to explicitly use a directory with the project's
build directory.
This bug was found by Sheeraz Ahmad and Amina Aahil.

This was a bug in WCSLIB 6.3 that has been fixed in WCSLIB 6.4. From
WCSLIB's changelog: "The rule change to the Fortran makefile in v6.3 to add
getwcstab_f.o to the sharable library causes it to depend on CFITSIO to
resolve fits_get_wcstab(). Hence backed out of that change.".
The actual error was like this:
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"_fits_read_wcstab", referenced from:
_ftwcst_ in getwcstab_f.o
"_gFitsFiles", referenced from:
_ftwcst_ in getwcstab_f.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

These three libraries are dependencies of Biber, so we will need them
later, but since we don't build biber from source now, we can't control
what library it links with. With this commit, we have just added their
versions, checksum, download URL and build rule incase they are useful in
other software.
Later, when we build Biber (and Texlive in general) from source, we'll be
able to use these.
|
|
In the line where we checked if libffi is installed in `lib/' or `lib64/',
there was a typo that lead to an incorrect result: we had forgot to add a
`-f' to the second check. This is corrected with this commit.
|
|
Until now, unlike most other programs, in Gnuastro we would run `make
check', but this causes a crash on some systems, because of its
BuildProgram test: a linking error because the library isn't installed
yet. Which is natural in cases like this (and must be corrected in future
Gnuastro releases).
With this commit, the checks of Gnuastro have been removed.

Until now, when building PatchELF, we would always require that it be done
statically. However, some systems don't have a static C library available
for linking. This cause a crash in the static building of PatchELF. But a
static PatchELF is necessary for correcting RPATH in GCC's outputs.
With this commit, in the configure script we check if a static C library is
linkable for the compiler. If it isn't then `host_cc' will be set to 1 and
GCC won't be built. We also pass the result of this test to `basic.mk'
(through `good_static_lib'), so if a static C library isn't available, it
builds a dynamically linked PatchELF.
This bug was reported by Elham Saremi.
|
|
Until now, the Fortran compiler check wouldn't delete the files it creates
in the temporary software building directory.
With this commit, the cleaning steps have been added.
|
|
Until now, OpenMPI was being installed without any dependency. This was
fine because it would indeed build. But the moment you tried loading
something that depends on it (for example `mpi4py' through `astropy'), you
would get an error complaining that SSH isn't present.
With this commit, the pipeline now also installs OpenSSH to solve this
problem.
|
|
Until now, we were relying on WCSLIB's internal checking and linking with
CFITSIO. But on one macOS system (not others that had no problem!), we
noticed that it complains with undefined symbol linking errors to CFITSIO
libraries.
With this commit, as a fast/ugly solution, we are explicity adding
`-lcfitsio' to WCSLIB's `LIBS' variable so all binaries are linked with it
automatically. We'll be in touch with the WCSLIB author to see if a better
solution can be found.

Until now, we weren't explicitly disabling Java in the build of libffi
because there was no Java platform on the systems we tested. But recently
Yahya Sefidbakht report a crash in libffi (reported in bug #56716) because
of Java not being compiled properly.
Unfortunately libffi doesn't have a configure option to disable Java, but
it does have an internal macro (`NO_JAVA_RAW_API'). With this commit, we
we defined this macro in the `make' step, and it solved the problem.
This fixes bug #56716.

Some of the software tarballs are directly available on their webpage (for
example due to build problems on systems, where we had to clone the
software and build its tarball ourselves until the next release). Until
now, only for these software, these tarballs were hosted on
`http://akhlaghi.org/src'. But now, I have moved a clone of the software
backup repository (including all its software) to
`http://akhlaghi.org/reproduce-software'.
To be more clear and have a single place for the backup software, the URL
of those software has also been updated in the project source.

A new version of Gnuastro was recently released with many improvments and
bug fixes, so it is updated here too.
|
|
Until now, we were just checking for the existance of a C and Fortran
compiler. But it can happen that even if they exist, they don't operate
properly, for example see some errors that have been reported until now in
P.S. (both on different macOS systems). But finding this source after the
programs have started is frustrating for the user.
With this commit, before we start building anything, we'll check these two
compilers with a simple program and see if they can indeed compile, and if
their compiled program can run. If it doesn't work an elaborate error
message is printed to help the users navigate to a solution.
Also, the building of `flock' within `configure.sh' has been moved just
before calling `basic.mk'. This was done so any warning/error message
is printed before actually building anything.
This fixes bug #56715.
P.S. The error messages:

Until now, in version 3.0.1, mpi4py couldn't be built with the most recent
version of OpenMPI. However, after trying the next version (3.0.2), I
noticed that it builds successfully without a problem.
|
|
After making the previous commit, I noticed an extra line (redundantly
defining a wrong `BASH_ENV') that should have been deleted. It has been
corrected.
|
|
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).

After adding the libiconv library to the template, the C++ library uses
three of its functions (`libiconv', `libiconv_open' and
`libiconv_close'). However, it doesn't explicity link with it inside its
shared library!
I tried by exporting `LIBS=-liconv' before the GCC configure script but it
crashed as soon as it went on to the second GCC building stage (because
this environment variable was no longer present there). I also tried adding
the C++ configure option of `--enable-cstdio' to the GCC configure options
(so it doesn't use iconv according to the manual), but it made no change.
With this commit, as a brute-force solution, `patchelf --add-needed' is run
on the installed `libstdc++.so', so `libiconv.so' is explicitly included
inside the `libstdc++' shared library.
This bug was found by Roberto Baena Galle while trying to load Matplotlib
(which needed the C++ library).
This fixes bug #56702.

Until now, there was no check on the integrity of the contents of the
downloaded/copied software tarballs, we only relied on the tarball
name. This could be bad for reproducibility and security, for example on
one server the name of a tarball may be the same but with different
content.
With this commit, the SHA512 checksums of all the software are stored in
the newly created `checksums.mk' (similar to how the versions are stored in
the `versions.mk'). The resulting variable is then defined for each
software and after downloading/copying the file we check to see if the new
tarball has the same checksum as the stored value. If it doesn't the script
will crash with an error, informing the user of the problem.
The only limitation now is a bootstrapping problem: if the host system
doesn't already an `sha512sum' executable, we will not do any checksum
verification until we install our `sha512sum' (as part of GNU
Coreutils). All the tarballs downloaded after GNU Coreutils are built will
have their checksums validated. By default almost all GNU/Linux systems
will have a usable `sha512sum' (its part of GNU Coreutils after all for a
long time: from the Coreutils Changelog file atleast since 2013).
This completes task #15347.

The configuration step (building all the ncessary software) can take some
time. It is natual for the user to want to see how the build is going
(which software is being built at every moment). So far, we have only put a
"Inspecting status" section in `README-hacking.md' that describes a
solution, but some early users may not have read it yet.
With this commit a short tip was added in the initial installation notice
to inform the user of this very useful command.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
Until now, like all other software, PatchELF would install with dynamic
linking. However, PatchELF links with `libstdc++' so on one system, I
noticed that PatchELF gives a segmentation fault and corrupts `libstdc++'
while correcting its RPATH (after installing GCC). The solution is to build
PatchELF statically.
With this commit, we force PatchELF to be built statically (it only
installs on GNU/Linux systems anyway, so there is no problem with static
linking on macOS). This solved the problem on that system.
While looking at its documentation, I also noticed that a new version of
PatchELF has been released after almost three years, so it has been updated
in the template also.
This fixes bug #56673.
|
|
Some bugs have been fixed in the new version of WCSLIB, so it has been
updated in the template.
|
|
More than two releases and bug fixes have been made to libgit2. So we are
now using a more recent version in the template.
|
|
Configure script: when `texlive-ready-tlmgr' is not created, it is similar
to not having installed TeXLive. A check was added so in this scenario the
`./configure' script doesn't crash.
high-level.mk: `cairo' and `pixman' are now installed in parallel and with
`V=1' (so the full compilation and linking command is printed).
|
|
In one of the last few commits, the commands in the recipe of libgit2 was
merged with `&&' so it stops if anything fails. But I had forgot to add a
`;' at the end of the `install_name_tool' command. This is corrected with
this commit.
|
|
Until this commit, the addion of `-liconv' to `CXXFLAGS' in `high-level.mk'
dependend on `host_cc', but I had forgot that `host_cc' isn't defined for
`high-level.mk'. It is now defined for this Makefile also in the configure
script.
Also, the Standard C++ library depends on `libgcc_s.so.1', so after
building GCC, it was necessary to add Rpath to it.
