2019-04-02Copyright notice added to remaining filesMohammad Akhlaghi-4/+4
After doing a systematic search for files without a copyright notice, a few more were found that didn't have a notice. So a notice was added for them. I used this Bash command to find the files: for f in $(find ./ -type f); do \ if [[ $f != *.git* ]]; then \ n=$(grep -i copyright $f | wc -l); \ echo "$n $f"; \ fi; \ done | awk '$1==0'
2019-02-28Git hooks for metastore check for the existance of metastoreRaul Infante-Sainz-2/+7
Until now, once the Git hooks have been installed (after the installation of Metastore), if metastore doesn't exist (for example by manually deleting the build directory for a re-build with same configurations as before) we can't run `git commit' and `git checkout' will print an ugly warning. With this commit, the two Git hooks check for the existance of Metastore and if it doesn't exist, they won't do anything.
2019-01-23Removing files ending with a ~ in the git checkout hookMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+8
While editing files, some editors create temporary `~' files that can cause problems in metastore's ability to delete their host directory if its not on the other branch. With this commit, a `find' call was added to the post checkout Git hook to remove such temporary files before metastore is called. Also, some comments were added to both git hooks to make them easier to understand for a beginner.
2019-01-23Corrections in metastore's git hooksMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
Two corrections were made in the Git hooks of Metastore. 1) The shebang at the start of the scripts now uses the absolute adress of our installed bash, not the relative `.local/bin/bash'. Note that it is possible to use Git within subdirectories and in that scenario, the `.local' will fail. 2) The `$$user' section was removed from the command to find the user's group. With the user as an argument, `groups' may print the user's name first, then their list of groups. When this happens, the script would be just repeating the user's name. But the raw `groups' command will list the groups of the running user.
2019-01-22Using fork of metastore to work when getpwuid isn't usableMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
After testing the built of Metastore on a server, I noticed that because its `/etc/passwd' doesn't have the list of users, the `getpwuid' call within metastore failed and wouldn't let it finish. So I looked into the code and was able to implement a solution to this problem by adding two options to it for default values for the user and group. Also, file attributes are not necessary in our (current) use case of metastore and caused crashes on our server, so they are also disabled.
2019-01-21Metastore package now installed to allow keeping file meta-dataMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+30
The pipeline heavily depends on file meta data (and in particular the modification dates), for example the configuration-Makefiles within the pipeline are set as prerequisites to the rules of the pipeline. However, when Git checks out a branch, it doesn't preserve the meta-data of the files unique to that branch (for example program source files or configuration-Makefiles). As a result, the rules that depend on them will be re-done. This is especially troublesome in the scenario of this reproducible paper project because we commonly need to switch between branches (for example to import recent work in the pipeline into the projects). After some searching, I think the Metastore program is the best solution. Metastore is now built as part of the pipeline and through two Git hooks, it is called by Git to store the original meta-data of files into a binary file that is version controlled (and managed by Metastore).
