Until now, for short files, we only had a license notice, not an actual
copyright notice. With this commit, a copyright notice has also been
added. We use this new command to find these files, suggested by
`ineiev@gnu.org'.

Until now, the steps to manage the command-line options of the configure
script were limited (couldn't accept an equal sign or space between the
option name and value). With this commit, it can now also accept optional
equal signs between the option name and value. Thus not causing many
confusions.
Also, it is more logically consistent for the link to the build-directory
to be placed in the top directory (as a hidden file like `.local' until
now), and not as a visible directory like `reproduce/build' (which we used
until now). Therefore, with this commit, the link to easily access the
build-directory is `.build' in the top source directory.
Finally, because `minmapsize' is too specific to Gnuastro and has now been
given its default value at the start of the configure script, the
description for `minmapsize' has been removed (to not confuse users who
don't use Gnuastro). If anyone is familiar enough with Gnuastro to change
it, they already know it from its book.

In the previous commit, a copyright notice was added after a systematic
search of the version controlled files. However, we missed `.gitignore'
(because we were discarding those with the `*.git*' pattern to avoid files
in the `.git' directory). This has been fixed by using this command (in the
top project directory) instead:
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'

The LaTeX macro for libgit2 was not properly used in `paper.tex'.
On Mac systems, after browsing the directory, a `.DS_Store' file was
created. So to keep things clean on those systems, it is added to the files
to be ignored by Git.
|
|
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.
|
|
Many projects use Python so it is necessary include it in the
pipeline.
|
|
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).
|
|
With this commit, it is now possible to package the project into a tarball
or zip file, ready to be distributed to collaborators who only want to
modify the final paper (and not do the analysis technicalities), or for
uploading to sites like arXiv, or online LaTeX sharing pages.

As part of the pipeline, `.texlive2018' may be created. So it is added to
`.gitignore'.
|
|
To enable easy/proper reproduction of results, all the high-level
dependencies are now built within the pipeline and installed in a fixed
directory that is added to the PATH of the Makefile. This includes GNU Bash
and GNU Make, which are then used to run the pipeline.
The `./configure' script will first build Bash and Make within itself, then
it will build
All the dependencies are also built to be static. So after they are built,
changing of the system's low-level libraries (like C library) won't change
the tarballs.
Currently the C library and C compiler aren't built within the pipeline,
but we'll hopefully add them to the build process also.
With this change, we now have full control of the shell and Make that will
be used in the pipeline, so we can safely remove some of the generalities
we had before.
|
|
On some servers, `.nfs*' files are also created during the processing, so
to keep the Git repo clean (avoid an un-necessary `-dirty' prefix), we are
adding these files to the `.gitignore'.
|
|
In some systems, the fact that `.gnuastro' and `reproduce/config/gnuastro'
are the same is not recognized by Git in `.gitignore' and so the `mmap'
files will be treated as un-commit files. So we now simply ignore all files
starting with `mmap_*' and removed the directory information before it.
|
|
As described in the commens above `MINMAPSIZE' of `LOCAL.mk.in', the amount
of memory to map to HDD/SSD or keep in RAM is a local issue and not
relevant to the pipeline's results. So it is now defined in a
`gnuastro-local.conf' file.
To keep the Makefiles clean, this file is created by the `./configure'
script. To do this cleanly, the `./configure' script was also almost fully
re-written with better functionality now.
|
|
The choice of whether or not to make a PDF is now also a local system
issue, not a general pipeline issue. So it has been put in the new
`LOCAL.mk.in' file which replaces the old `DIRECTORIES.mk.in'. All local
settings (things that when changed should not be version-controlled) should
be defined in this file.
A sanity check was added to find if `./configure' has been run before
`make' or not (using the `LOCAL.mk' file which is an output of the
configuration step). If `LOCAL.mk' doesn't exist, an error will be printed
informing the user that `./configure' needs to be run first.
The configure script also provides more clear and hopefully better
information on its purpose and what must be done.
Since `make clean', it is executed even when `./configure' hasn't been run,
it will only delete the build directory and its contents when local
configuration has been done.
A `distclean' target was also added which will first "clean" the pipeline,
then delete the `LOCAL.mk.in' file.
To allow rules like `make' to be run even if `BDIR' isn't defined
(`./configure' hasn't been run yet), a fake `BDIR' is defined in such
cases.

Let's start working on this pipeline independently with this first
commit. It is based on my previous experiences, but I had never made a
skeleton of a pipeline before, it was always within a working analysis.
But now that the pipeline has a separate repository for its self, we will
be able to work on it and use it as a base for future work and modify it to
make it even better. Hopefully in time (and with the help of others), it
will grow and become much more robust and useful.
