See -# there for precise usage of the variables. But comments are also provided -# here. -# -# Necessary variables for each input dataset are listed below. Its good -# that all the variables of each file have the same base-name (in the -# example below 'DEMO') with descriptive suffixes, also put a short comment -# above each group of variables for each dataset, shortly explaining what -# it is. -# -# 1) Local file name ('DEMO-DATA' below): this is the name of the dataset -# on the local system (in 'INDIR', given at configuration time). It is -# recommended that it be the same name as the online version of the -# file like the case here (note how this variable is used in 'DEMO-URL' -# for the dataset's full URL). However, this is not always possible, so -# the local and server filenames may be different. Ultimately, the file -# name is irrelevant, we check the integrity with the checksum. -# -# 2) The MD5 checksum of the file ('DEMO-MD5' below): this is very -# important for an automatic verification of the file. You can -# calculate it by running 'md5sum' on your desired file. You can also -# use any other checksum tool that you prefer, just be sure to correct -# the respective command in 'reproduce/analysis/make/download.mk'. -# -# 3) The human-readable size of the file ('DEMO-SIZE' below): this is an -# optional variable, mainly to help a reader of your project get a -# sense of the volume they need to download if they don't already have -# the dataset. So it is highly recommended to add it (future readers of -# your project's source will appreciate it!). You can get it from the -# output of 'ls -lh' command on the file. Optionally you can use it in -# messages during the configuration phase (when Maneage asks for the -# input data directory), along with other info about the file(s). -# -# 4) The full dataset URL ('DEMO-URL' below): this is the full URL -# (including the file-name) that can be used to download the dataset -# when necessary. Also, see the description above on local filename. +# This project's input file information (metadata). +# +# For each input (external) data file that is used within the project, +# three variables are suggested here (two of them are mandatory). These +# variables will be used by 'reproduce/analysis/make/download.mk' to import +# the dataset into the project (within the build directory): +# +# - If the file already exists locally in '$(INDIR)' (the optional input +# directory that may have been specified at configuration time with +# '--input-dir'), a symbolic link will be added in '$(indir)' (in the +# build directory). A symbolic link is used to avoid extra storage when +# files are large. +# +# - If the file doesn't exist in '$(INDIR)', or no input directory was +# specified at configuration time, then the file is downloaded from a +# specific URL. +# +# In both cases, before placing the file (or its link) in the build +# directory, 'reproduce/analysis/make/download.mk' will check the SHA256 +# checksum of the dataset and if it differs from the pre-defined value (set +# for that file, here), it will abort (since this is not the intended +# dataset). +# +# Therefore, the two variables specifying the URL and SHA256 checksum of +# the file are MANDATORY. The third variable (INPUT-%-size) showing the +# human-readable size of the file (from 'ls -lh') is optional (but +# recommended: because it gives future scientists to get a feeling of the +# volume of data they need to input: will become important if the +# size/number of files is large). +# +# The naming convension is critical for the input files to be properly +# imported into the project. In the patterns below, the '%' is the full +# file name (including its prefix): for example in the demo input of this +# file in the 'maneage' branch, we have 'INPUT-wfpc2.fits-sha256': +# therefore, the input file (within the project's '$(indir)') is called +# 'wfpc2.fits'. This allows you to simply set '$(indir)/wfpc2.fits' as the +# pre-requisite of any recipe that needs the input file: you will rarely +# (if at all!) need to use these variables directly. +# +# INPUT-%-sha256: The sha256 checksum of the file. You can generate the +# SHA256 checksum of a file with the 'sha256sum FILENAME' +# command (where 'FILENAME' is the name of your +# file). this is very important for an automatic +# verification of the file: that it hasn't changed +# between different runs of the project (locally or in +# the URL). There are more robust checksum algorithms +# like the 'SHA' standards. +# +# INPUT-%-url: The URL to download the file if it is not available +# locally. It can happen that during the first phases of +# your project the data aren't yet public. In this case, you +# set a phony URL like this (just as a clear place-holder): +# 'https://this.file/is/not/yet/public'. +# +# INPUT-%-size: The human-readable size of the file (output of 'ls +# -lh'). This is not used by default but can help other +# scientists who would like to run your project get a +# good feeling of the necessary network and storage +# capacity that is necessary to start the project. +# +# The input dataset's name (that goes into the '%') can be different from +# the URL's file name (last component of the URL, after the last '/'). Just +# note that it is assumed that the local copy (outside of your project) is +# also called '%' (if your local copy of the input dataset and the only +# repository names are the same, be sure to set '%' accordingly). # # Copyright (C) 2018-2022 Mohammad Akhlaghi <mohammad@akhlaghi.org> # @@ -48,7 +76,6 @@ # Demo dataset used in the histogram plot (remove when customizing). -DEMO-DATA = WFPC2ASSNu5780205bx.fits -DEMO-MD5 = a4791e42cd1045892f9c41f11b50bad8 -DEMO-SIZE = 62K -DEMO-URL = https://fits.gsfc.nasa.gov/samples/$(DEMO-DATA) +INPUT-wfpc2.fits-size = 62K +INPUT-wfpc2.fits-url = https://fits.gsfc.nasa.gov/samples/WFPC2ASSNu5780205bx.fits +INPUT-wfpc2.fits-sha256 = 9851bc2bf9a42008ea606ec532d04900b60865daaff2f233e5c8565dac56ad5f |
