2019-03-28	flock is now built in configure, to allow serial downloads	Mohammad Akhlaghi	-5/+10
	Until now, we were using `flock' (file-lock) for downloading the input datasets in series. But we couldn't do this when downloading the software tarballs because `flock' wasn't yet available. Generally, unlike processing, downloading is much better done in series than in parallel. To enable serial downloads of the software also, with this commit we are installing `flock' in the configure script (not in a Makefile). As a result, besides `flock', we can also benefit from the other good features of the `reproduce/src/bash/download-multi-try' script *(for example attempting download again after some time). Some GNU mirrors may have problems at the time of download, so with this commit, we are using the main GNU FTP server for GNU programs.
2019-02-06	Minor correction in description of downloading wrapper	Mohammad Akhlaghi	-3/+3
	In the example running code of the wrapper script, I had just written `./download-multi-try', but this script is meant to be run from the top of the project directory. This could cause confusion. So the example script now starts with `/path/to/download-multi-try'.
2019-02-06	Removed .sh suffix in download wrapper script	Mohammad Akhlaghi	-0/+110
	We don't have a `.sh' suffix in the other scripts of `reproduce/src/bash', so it was also removed from this script.
