SUMMARY: just house-cleaning, no need to do anything major in your
branch. Just update the copyright years in files that you have added.
Until now, the latest copyright years of the whole Maneage source code was
2022! As of this commit, we have already moved to 2023 for 5 months!
Furthermore, there were a few other minor issues that needed correction:
- The URL to download input datasets wasn't quoted in 'initialize.mk' or
the download script! As a result, when the input URL had characters that
are meaningful to the shell (like '&'), the download command would not
work.
- The only program that had 'make check' in the 'basic.mk' programs was
MPFR. At that stage, we still haven't built our own compiler at this
stage, this is not accurate.
- The 'pyerfa' and 'extension-helpers' packages in Python need
'setuptools_scm' on some systems. But until now, it was not in the list
of their prerequisites.
With this commit, all the issues above have been corrected.

SUMMARY: This is a software update to make Maneage more portable and up to
date. It does not involve any Maneage infrastructure changes. You should
just re-build your project to make sure the updated software haven't
removed/changed any of their features that you were using. In particular,
for Astrometry.net users, please see the respective note in P.S.2 below.
Until now, there have been many updates in the software that are built
within Maneage. The last software upadte was almost one year ago.
With this commit, the software in the P.S.1 have been updated. A
description of notable changes in the software environment is given in
P.S.2. This software environment has been tested on an Arch GNU/Linux,
Debian, CentOS-7 and macOS.
This commit is the merging of 24 individual commits by Raul Infante-Sainz
(who put a lot of energy on porting the software below for macOS, and
updating citations), Boudewijn Roukema (who helped with memory checking for
GCC, and testing on Debian and CentOS), Sepideh Eskandarlou (who tested the
environment) and myself.
Besides the updates in the core software, the followimg improvements have
also been implemented in this commit:
- When you run './project shell':
- A welcome message is printed that will remind the caller that they
have entered a new environment, it will print the location of 'HOME'
and the location of the shell startup file.
- The 'reproduce/software/shell/bashrc.sh' is loaded as a startup
file. This allows you to customize your interactive Maneage shell. A
default step has already been placed there that will put the git
branch name (in green) within the shell prompt (which was
purple). This greatly helps when dealing with directories under Git
version control. These settings won't bother with Maneage's default
operations: through environment variables we make sure that these
'./project shell' features will not slow-down the calls to the shell
within the non-interactive Make calls.
- The host's 'COLORTERM' is passed to the Maneage environment. It is
used by some programs that can have color outputs on the terminal.
- Updates to citations:
- Numpy and Scipy (as requested on their pages):
https://numpy.org/citing-numpy and https://scipy.org/citing-scipy
- Gnuastro: Added https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.11230 which describes major
updates to Gnuastro after 10 releases.
- When a software's paper is indexed in the SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data
System (ADS), Maneage now use the BibTeX entries provided by ADS. This
helps to give a unified format to most software, and more information
(like ADS+arXiv hyperlinks in the BibLaTeX compilation of the default
bibliography).
- We were able to build this version of Maneage on a Debian system from
2010 (+12 years ago!). Only three downgrades were necessary in the
"basic" software (not affecting the high-level science software!). A
description of the necessary downgrades for such old systems has been
added in 'README.md'.

P.S.2: Notable points regarding the software environment:
- Two new links from the host's low-level tools are now included in
Maneage's build environment:
- On GNU/Linux systems, the host's 'ldd' is linked inside the custom
environment. This belongs to the GNU C Library (which is not yet
installed in Maneage). But helps in checking the linking status of the
binaries on GNU/Linux systems.
- On macOS: the 'codesign' binary is included, which is used by GNU
Emacs on macOS to sign the built executable.
- GNU Bison has been moved in basic software (necessary for GNU Binutils).
- The Zip and Unzip programs have been moved as high-level software that
have to be manually requested when necessary. This is because they are
not used by any of the basic software anymore. They were just installed
as dependencies of GNU Tar to be close the other compression
programs. Also, in the past we would use the original tarballs, and some
(for example Numpy) were distributed in Zip format. However, by default,
we now use a custom Lzip tarball and don't need Zip or Unzip. This was
suggested by Zahra Sharbaf and Raul Infante-Sainz.
- Some minor edits in 'reproduce/software/shell/tarball-prepare.sh'. In
particular the 'awk' command was effectively just replacing a '_' with
'-', so it just uses a simple SED expression instead.
- Fixed bug 62700 (https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?62700) by
compiling 'xz' with a patched version of the xz source file
'src/liblzma/liblzma.map'.
- Astrometry.net doesn't depend on NetPBM any more. NetPBM (and its
dependencies) were causing many crashes on macOS and it also a very
strange build system that is hard to maintain. Astrometry.net uses it to
take images as input. However, it isn't necessary when you provide
Astrometry.net with a catalog. Therefore, Raul added some instructions
on how to run astrometry from your own custom X-Y catalog. These
instruction can be seen on top of the build rule of Astrometry.net in
'reproduce/software/make/high-level.mk'.
- h5py has been removed as a dependency of Astropy. It is an optional
dependency to write tables into HDF5 format. But since we couldn't get
it to build on macOS it has been removed. None of the current Maneage
users/developers also use this feature of Astropy!
- PLplot is added a new software, but not a default pre-requisite of SCAMP
(which can use it to generate figures), because there were many build
problems on macOS. Instructions have been added on top of SCAMP on how
to add PLplot as a dependency.
- With the aim of being able to install Plplot on macOS, we have wrote
several lines to fix header problems. However, we didn't succeed. In any
case we are leaving these lines in case they are useful in the future.
- The '-Wno-nullability-completeness' compiler flag (which is primarily
necessary for macOS) is now only added for macOS systems. It was causing
many warnings of un-recognized option in GNU/Linux systems.
- The 'mkswap' program of Util-Linux has been disabled because it caused
crashes on older kernels. Generally, its not necessary for a Maneage
project because it needs root permissions to run!
- LibXT (of the x.org software) has been added as a dependency of Cairo.
- ImageMagick and Lzip were using the host's C++ standard library! But on
GNU/Linux we build our own C++ Standard Library with GCC, so with this
commit, they properly link with Maneage's C++ standard library.
- ImageMagick on macOS couldn't properly link with Maneage's Ghostscript
library! This has been fixed using macOS's install_name_tool.
- Necessary RAM to build GCC on GNU/Linux systems changed to ~8GB, see
https://savannah.nongnu.org/task/?16244#comment12
- Pythran is no longer as prerequisite of Scipy. Until now, Pythran was a
prerequisite of Scipy. But we noticed that it is optional and was
causing problems on macOS.
- The URLs of some of the software have been updated in
'reproduce/software/config/urls.conf'. By default, these are all
commented, but they can be useful when searching for new versions or
when a project needs custom software that is not (yet) in Maneage.

This commit primarily affects the configuration step of Maneage'd projects,
and in particular, updated versions of the many of the software (see
P.S.). So it shouldn't affect your high-level analysis other than the
version bumps of the software you use (and the software's possibly
improve/changed behavior).
The following software (and thus their dependencies) couldn't be updated as
described below:
- Cryptography: isn't building because it depends on a new
setuptools-rust package that has problems
(https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?61731), so it has been
commented in 'versions.conf'.
- SecretStorage: because it depends on Cryptography.
- Keyring: because it depends on SecretStorage.
- Astroquery: because it depends on Keyring.
This is a "squashed" commit after rebasing a development branch of 60
commits corresponding to a roughly two-month time interval. The following
people contributed to this branch.
- Boudewijn Roukema added all the R software infrastructure and the R
packages, as well as greatly helping in fixing many bugs during the
update.
- Raul Infante-Sainz helped in testing and debugging the build.
- Pedram Ashofteh Ardakani found and fixed a bug.
- Zahra Sharbaf helped in testing and found several bugs.
Below a description of the most noteworthy points is given.
- Software tarballs: all updated software now have a unified format
tarball (ustar; if not possible, pax) and unified compression (Lzip) in
Maneage's software repository in Zenodo
(https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3883409). For more on this See
https://savannah.nongnu.org/task/?15699 . This won't affect any extra
software you would like to add; you can use any format recognized by
GNU Tar, and all common compression algorithms. This new requirement is
only for software that get merged to the core Maneage branch.
- Metastore (and thus libbsd and libmd) moved to highlevel: Metastore
(and the packages it depends on) is a high-level product that is only
relevant during the project development (like Emacs!): when the user
wants the file meta data (like dates) to be unchanged after checking
out branches. So it should be considered a high-level software, not
basic. Metastore also usually causes many more headaches and error
messages, so personally, I have stopped using it! Instead I simply
merge my branches in a separate clone, then pull the merge commit: in
this way, the files of my project aren't re-written during the checkout
phase and therefore their dates are untouched (which can conflict with
Make's dates on configuration files).
- The un-official cloned version of Flex (2.6.4-91 until this commit) was
causing problems in the building of Netpbm, so with this commit, it has
been moved back to version 2.6.4.
- Netpbm's official page had version 10.73.38 as the latest stable
tarball that was just released in late 2021. But I couldn't find our
previously-used version 10.86.99 anywhere (to see when it was released
and why we used it! Its at last more than one year old!). So the
official stable version is being used now.
- Improved instructions in 'README.md' for building software environment
in a Docker container (while having project source and output data
products on the local system; including the usage of the host's
'/dev/shm' to speed up temporary operations).
- Until now, the convention in Maneage was to put eight SPACE characters
before the comment lines within recipes. This was done because by
default GNU Emacs (also many other editors) show a TAB as eight
characters. However, in other text editors, online browsers, or even
the Git diff, a TAB can correspond to a different number of
characters. In such cases, the Maneage recipes wouldn't look too
interesting (the comments and the recipe commands would show a
different indentation!).
With this commit, all the comment lines in the Makefiles within the
core Maneage branch have a hash ('#') as their first character and a
TAB as the second. This allows the comment lines in recipes to have the
same indentation as code; making the code much more easier to read in a
general scenario including a 'git diff' (editor agnostic!).
P.S. List of updated software with their old and new versions

Having entered 2021, it was necessary to update the copyright years at the
top of the source files. We recommend that you do this for all your
project-specific source files also.
|
|
In the previous commit, the modified abstract of the acknowledgments only
included the URL of Maneage, but its more formal to cite the Maneage paper,
the URL is already present in the paper.
|
|
The text of the default paper hadn't been changed for a very long time! In
this time, three papers using Maneage have been published (which can be
very good as an example), Maneage also now has a webpage!
With these commit these examples and the webpage have been added and
generally it was also polished a little to hopefully be more useful.
|
|
Now that its 2020, its necessary to include this year in the copyright
statements.
|
|
Until now, the files where the people were meant to change didn't have a
proper copyright notice (for example `Copyright (C) YOUR NAME.'). This was
wrong because the license does not convey copyright ownership. So the name
of the file's original author must always be included and when people
modify it (and add their own copyright-able modifications).
With this commit, the file's original author (and email) are added to the
copyright notice and when more than one person modified a file, both names
have their individual copyright notice.
Based on this, the description for adding a copyright notice in
`README-hacking.md' has also been modified.
|
|
Until now, there was a single `tex/src/references.tex' file that housed the
BibTex entries for everything (software and non-software).
Since we have started to include the BibTeX entry for more software, it
will be hard to manage the large (sometime unused) BibTeX entries of the
software in the middle of the non-software related citations in the text of
the paper.
Therefore, with this commit, a `tex/dependencies' directory has been made
which has a separate BibTeX entry file for each software that needs
one. After the software is built, this file is copied to the new
`.local/version-info/cite' directory. At the end, the configure script will
concatenate all the files in this directory into one file which will later
be used with `tex/src/references.tex' by BibLaTeX.
This greatly simplifies managing of citations. Allowing us to focus on the
software-building and paper-writing citations separately/cleanly (and thus
be more efficient in both).
|
|
Some recent corrections that were done by Raul are now merged into the
pipeline. There weren't any conflicts.
|
|
Until now, the Scipy citation was only one paper and not the correct one
(it was the online manual).
With this commit, Scipy is properly cited using the two papers. Also
some modifications in the `tex/src/references.tex' have been done
(remove last page number).
|
|
Until now, name and version of all Python packages were indicated in the
final paper, but not the main paper of them (if it exists).
With this commit, some Python packages (Cython, Matplotlib, Numpy and
Scipy) are now properly acknoledged by citating the source paper.
`mpi4py' is also cited although this package is not yet included into
the pipeline.
|
|
With this commit, we are applying the new style of citing software within
the build rule of Gnuastro.
|
|
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'
|
|
Raul Infante-Sainz added the building of Python (along with the Numpy and
Astropy packages) into the pipeline. That work is now being merged into the
main pipeline branch.
There was only this small problem that needed to be fixed: the Python
tarball's name after unpacking is actually `Python-X.X.X' (with a captial
P), not `python-X.X.X'. This has been corrected with this merge.
|
|
Astropy was added and one very important thing is that we have to
use the pypi tarball (https://pypi.org/) (which is bootstrapped)
and not the github tarball.
|
|
In order to collaborate effectively in the project, even project members
that don't necessarily want (or have the capacity) to do the whole analysis
must be able to contribute to the project. Until now, the users of the
distributed tarball could only modify the text and not the figures (built
with PGFPlots) of the paper.
With this commit, the management of TeX source files in the pipeline was
slightly modified to allow this as cleanly as I could think of now! In
short, the hand-written TeX files are now kept in `tex/src' and for the
pipeline's generated TeX files (in particular the old `tex/pipeline.tex'),
we now have a `tex/pipeline' symbolic-link/directory that points to the
`tex' directory under the build directory.
When packaging the project, `tex/pipeline' will be a full directory with a
copy of all the necessary files. Therefore as far as LaTeX is concerned,
having a build-directory is no longer relevant. Many other small changes
were made to do this job cleanly which will just make this commit message
too long!
Also, the old `tarball' and `zip' targets are now `dist' and `dist-zip' (as
in the standard GNU Build system).
