Until this commit, the name of the variable for `beautifulsoup4'
checksum was wrong, and because of that, it was not able to install it.
With this commit, `beautifulsoup-checksum' has been replaced for
`beautifulsoup4-checksum' in the `reproduce/software/make/python.mk'
Makefile, and the problem has been fixed. This was not noticed
previously because this Python package is only installed when some high
level programs are requested to be installed.
With this commit the version of `imagemagick' program has been also
updated because the previous version is not available in the official
website anymore.

This was a bug in WCSLIB 6.3 that has been fixed in WCSLIB 6.4. From
WCSLIB's changelog: "The rule change to the Fortran makefile in v6.3 to add
getwcstab_f.o to the sharable library causes it to depend on CFITSIO to
resolve fits_get_wcstab(). Hence backed out of that change.".
The actual error was like this:
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"_fits_read_wcstab", referenced from:
_ftwcst_ in getwcstab_f.o
"_gFitsFiles", referenced from:
_ftwcst_ in getwcstab_f.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

These three libraries are dependencies of Biber, so we will need them
later, but since we don't build biber from source now, we can't control
what library it links with. With this commit, we have just added their
versions, checksum, download URL and build rule incase they are useful in
other software.
Later, when we build Biber (and Texlive in general) from source, we'll be
able to use these.

Until now, OpenMPI was being installed without any dependency. This was
fine because it would indeed build. But the moment you tried loading
something that depends on it (for example `mpi4py' through `astropy'), you
would get an error complaining that SSH isn't present.
With this commit, the pipeline now also installs OpenSSH to solve this
problem.
|
|
A new version of Gnuastro was recently released with many improvments and
bug fixes, so it is updated here too.
|
|
Until now, in version 3.0.1, mpi4py couldn't be built with the most recent
version of OpenMPI. However, after trying the next version (3.0.2), I
noticed that it builds successfully without a problem.

Until now, there was no check on the integrity of the contents of the
downloaded/copied software tarballs, we only relied on the tarball
name. This could be bad for reproducibility and security, for example on
one server the name of a tarball may be the same but with different
content.
With this commit, the SHA512 checksums of all the software are stored in
the newly created `checksums.mk' (similar to how the versions are stored in
the `versions.mk'). The resulting variable is then defined for each
software and after downloading/copying the file we check to see if the new
tarball has the same checksum as the stored value. If it doesn't the script
will crash with an error, informing the user of the problem.
The only limitation now is a bootstrapping problem: if the host system
doesn't already an `sha512sum' executable, we will not do any checksum
verification until we install our `sha512sum' (as part of GNU
Coreutils). All the tarballs downloaded after GNU Coreutils are built will
have their checksums validated. By default almost all GNU/Linux systems
will have a usable `sha512sum' (its part of GNU Coreutils after all for a
long time: from the Coreutils Changelog file atleast since 2013).
This completes task #15347.

Until now, to work on a project, it was necessary to `./configure' it and
build the software. Then we had to run `.local/bin/make' to run the project
and do the analysis every time. If the project was a shared project between
many users on a large server, it was necessary to call the `./for-group'
script.
This way of managing the project had a major problem: since the user
directly called the lower-level `./configure' or `.local/bin/make' it was
not possible to provide high-level control (for example limiting the
environment variables). This was especially noticed recently with a bug
that was related to environment variables (bug #56682).
With this commit, this problem is solved using a single script called
`project' in the top directory. To configure and build the project, users
can now run these commands:
$ ./project configure
$ ./project make
To work on the project with other users in a group these commands can be
used:
$ ./project configure --group=GROUPNAME
$ ./project make --group=GROUPNAME
The old options to both configure and make the project are still valid. Run
`./project --help' to see a list. For example:
$ ./project configure -e --host-cc
$ ./project make -j8
The old `configure' script has been moved to
`reproduce/software/bash/configure.sh' and is called by the new `./project'
script. The `./project' script now just manages the options, then passes
control to the `configure.sh' script. For the "make" step, it also reads
the options, then calls Make. So in the lower-level nothing has
changed. Only the `./project' script is now the single/direct user
interface of the project.
On a parallel note: as part of bug #56682, we also found out that on some
macOS systems, the `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable has to be set
to blank. This is no problem because RPATH is automatically set in macOS
and the executables and libraries contain the absolute address of the
libraries they should link with. But having `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH' can
conflict with some low-level system libraries and cause very hard to debug
linking errors (like that reported in the bug report).
This fixes bug #56682.

Until now, like all other software, PatchELF would install with dynamic
linking. However, PatchELF links with `libstdc++' so on one system, I
noticed that PatchELF gives a segmentation fault and corrupts `libstdc++'
while correcting its RPATH (after installing GCC). The solution is to build
PatchELF statically.
With this commit, we force PatchELF to be built statically (it only
installs on GNU/Linux systems anyway, so there is no problem with static
linking on macOS). This solved the problem on that system.
While looking at its documentation, I also noticed that a new version of
PatchELF has been released after almost three years, so it has been updated
in the template also.
This fixes bug #56673.
|
|
Some bugs have been fixed in the new version of WCSLIB, so it has been
updated in the template.
|
|
More than two releases and bug fixes have been made to libgit2. So we are
now using a more recent version in the template.
|
|
While testing on a system with no Texinfo, we noticed that M4 depends on
Texinfo. To fix this problem, with this commit, it is now included in the
pipeline.
While doing a clean build, a few minor issues were also found and corrected
in the other rules.
|
|
While reviewing Prasenjit's commits, I noticed that we had forgot to add
the citation for TIDES, also to make things clear, the program/library
build rules are now sorted alphabetically.
Finally, I noticed that after building the TiKZ PDF figures, it is crashing
(like on Prasenjit's computer). After looking around, I noticed its because
we were setting the of the `TEXINPUTS' environment variable to be the
installed TeX Live directory (which was ultimately redundant because by
default TeX will look into where it was installed). The important thing is
just that we remove any possible value the host system has, not to set new
directories.
|
|
TIDES is an ODE integrator with multiple-precision arithmetic.
|
|
Several corrections were necessary in the basic build: 1) the
version of GCC on some systems includes an `_' which would cause
a crash when building the PDF. 2) libcharset had to be manually
added to the Git build.
|
|
Prasenjit Saha reported that while building on a macOS, Git complained
about not finding `libiconv' functions. Therefore with this commit,
`libiconv' is also built as a dependency of Git.
Also, since the build of Binutils (and the subsequent GCC) doesn't depend
on the exact versions of the other basic software, they are set as
existance-only prerequsites (ignoring their timestamps). This is done to
avoid re-building when it is not needed.

|
The recent work by Raul to import Imfit is now merged into the master
branch. Only a few minor conflicts came up due to the update with CFITSIO
(that Raul also done in parallel on this branch).
|
|
Until now, TeXlive would only attempt to download/update LaTeX packages,
but after some time, it will be necessary for it to update itself. When
this happens, it complains about running it with `update --self'.
To fix this problem, before installing/updating the LaTeX packages, we will
first update tlmgr in any case.
Also, we weren't removing the TeXlive package version file before appending
the values to it. So it was just repeating the packages every time it was
updated. With this commit, it is being removed on every new build.
Finally, the version of Git was updated to its most recent version.
|
|
Until this commit, 'imfit' was installed using proper flags in order to
use our own libraries. However, it looks first of all to the default
system. As a consecuence, `imfit' program was linked to the host system
libraries, even when we told to use our own libraries!!
With this commit, the installation of `imfit' has been modified in order
to remove the default paths already set in the `SConstruct' script. By
doing this, only our paths are take into account for compiling the
program. It has been tested on Mac OS laptop and it works fine. Test on
GNU/Linux systems remain before merge into the main project branch.
|
|
`cfitsio' was recently updated and it cames up with a problem when
trying to build shared libraries (on Mac OS system laptop). This is
because the `configure' script for building `cfitsio' include by default
`rpath'.
With this commit, this issue is fixed by modifying the installation of
`cfitsio'. Using `sed', each ocurrence of `@rpath' in `configure' is
replaced by `$(ildir)'. Once it has been done, the installation of
`cfitsio' goes as normal.
In this commit, the version of the `cfitsio' has been also updated to
the most recent one.
|
|
Until now, CFITSIO had several peculiar features which needed special
attention: 1) Its tarball didn't have a `.' in the version name and would
sometimes have extra `0's. 2) When unpacked it was just `cfitsio'. 3) It
hard coded the directory to search for cURL library. All of these forced us
to do a lot of extra steps for CFITSIO.
So I got in touch with them and fortunately they were very open to
correcting these issues and with version 3.47 all such issues have been
addressed in the tarball. Thanks to these changes, with this commit,
CFITSIO's build rule is now very similar to many other programs.
I also noticed that it has an optional `--with-bz2' feature to enable
unpacking `.fits.bz2' files. So this feature is also added.
|
|
With this commit, `imfit' has been included into the project. As described
in the official webpage (http://www.mpe.mpg.de/~erwin/code/imfit/):
Imfit is a program for fitting astronomical images -- especially images
of galaxies, though it can in principle be used for fitting other
sources.
This program uses the `scons' program to build itself (not the traditional
GNU `configure' and `make' system). I have tested it by using an example
that can be found in the `examples' directory of the decompressed
tarball. It works fine without any error on my Mac OS system.
|
|
With this commit, SCons has been included into the project. As in the
official webpage of this program says:
SCons is an Open Source software construction tool—that is, a
next-generation build tool. Think of SCons as an improved,
cross-platform substitute for the classic Make utility with integrated
functionality similar to autoconf/automake and compiler caches such as
ccache. In short, SCons is an easier, more reliable and faster way to
build software.
The motivation for including this software into the project is because
there are some software that use this system for the installation. In
particular, the necessity of installing it comes from Imfit. This is an
astronomical software that uses this system so that is why it has been
included into the project. In principle it is simple, and I have tested
it on Mac OS sytem without any problem.

With this commit, PyYAML Python package has been added into the project.
It is widely used in the Python community and the goal is to have human
readable configuration files. As in the web page
(https://pypi.org/project/PyYAML/) says:
YAML is a data serialization format designed for human readability and
interaction with scripting languages. PyYAML is a YAML parser and
emitter for Python.
|
|
With this commit, LibYAML library has been added. This library is a
prerequisite of the Python package PyYAML, which is widely used in the
Python community when configuration scripts are needed.
|
|
With this commit, ImageMagick software has been added into the project.
This software is useful to deal and treat images from the command line.
Since it is widely used and a lot of other programs rely on it, it is
worth to have it into the project.
|
|
In the warnings output by LaTeX during the building of a project, I noticed
that `csquotes' is recommended for some features of BibLaTeX (a warning was
printed) so it is added with this commit.
|
|
Until now the software names and versions in
`reproduce/software/config/installation/versions.mk' were placed such that
all the versions were placed under each other. This had a visual effect,
but since many of the software have shorter names, it could sometimes cause
visual confusion on which number belongs to which software.
Since we recently removed a similar situation with the backslashes, with
this commit, there is only a single space between the variable name, `='
and the version number.
|
|
GCC 9.1 was just released and includes many new optimization features that
can benefit projects in this template also.
Also, the build directory of GCC has been moved inside the unpacked
directory (similar to all the other programs). As a result, while GCC is
being built, the `.build/software/build-tmp' directory will only have one
directory for GCC. Until now, there was one `gcc-build' directory and one
unpacked tarball.
|
|
Since we just download the binary source of TeXLive, we need to keep it up
to date with the server. So it has been incremented to 2019 (TeXLive 2019
was released April 29th).
A note was also added in the Checklist to keep the users informed on how to
update TeXLive if necessary.
|
|
Especially because of the new convention regarding backslashes, there were
many conflicts that are now fixed. But none were substantial.
|
|
When we need to quote the new-line character we end the line with a
backslash (`\'). Until now, our convention has been to put all such
backslashes under each other to help in visual inspection.
But this causes a lot of confusion in version control: if only one line's
length is larger, the whole block will be marked as changed and thus makes
it hard to visually see the actual change. It also makes debuging the code
(adding some temporary lines) hard.
With this commit, I went through all the files and tried to fix all such
cases so only a single white space character is between the last command
character and the backslash. Where there was an empty line (ending with a
backslash, to help in visually separating the code into blocks), I put the
backslash right under the previous line's.
This completes task #15259.

With this commit, the copyright information of some files have been
modify in order to include the work of Raul Infante-Sainz.
|
|
Until this commit, we were using `libpng' version 1.4.22 (out dated).
The reason is that with `libpng` versions > 1.5, there was some
problems with `netpbm'. But we have update `netpbm' version and now
there is no conflict betweem them.
With this commit, we increase the version of `libpng' to have the most
recent one.
|
|
Until now, we installed `netpbm' by setting the default paths to
libraries and headers. That worked fine for GNU/Linux systems, however,
in Mac OS systems we have to explicity say to `netpbm' questions what
are the paths to the libraries and headers. We found this problem
because we tried to run `solve-field' to obtain the astrometry of some
images, and then it goes to use `pnmfile', a program that failed because
it was not properly linked with `libnetpmb'.
With this commit, we fix this problem by answering properly the
questions in the configure step of `netpbm' and setting explicity where
we want to place the libraries and headers. With this commit, we also
update `netpbm' version. To do that, we have to download the last
version, for which it doesn't exist a tarball. So, we built this tarball
and put it in the Mohammad's webpage.
|
|
There wasn't any conflict in this merge.
|
|
With this commit, we let the Python package `sip_tpv' to be optional in
order to not install it by default. It is a very specific package and I
forgot to remove it from `TARGETS.mk' in the previous commit.
|
|
With this commit, we add `sip_tpv' Python package into the template.
This is a small package to convert SIP distorsion coefficients into PV
distorsion coefficients, and the other way around.
This package is useful in a astronomical context, specially when `swarp'
is going to be used in order to resample images. The reason is that
`swarp' only can understand PV distorsion coefficients.
|
|
With this commit, we add `sympy' Python package into the template. This
is a package to do symbolic mathematics.
The motivation is that it is a prerequisite of `sip_tpv' Python package,
which is useful to convert SIP distorsion coefficients into PV
coefficients (in the context of astronomical images). However, the
availability of `sympy' in the template will be useful for anyone
interested in this package.
|
|
With this commit, we add `mpmath' Python package into the template. This
package is a prerequisite of `sympy', a package to do symbolic
mathematics.
The motivation of adding this package is because it is a dependency of
`sympy', which is more widely used into the Python science community.
|
|
Until now we were using the official tarball of GNU Bash. However, Bash is
distributed using patches, not a public version controlled history. So to
implement newer features of Bash, its necessary to apply those patches and
make the tarball ourselves.
With this commit, we have done just that: we used the 7 patches that have
been released since version 5.0.0 and made a tarball to use for this
template. The instructions on how to make the patched tarball are also
given above the Bash build rule.
|
|
Until now, to specify which high-level software you want the project to
contain, it was necessary to go into the `high-level.mk' Makefile that is
complicated and can create bugs.
With this commit, a new `reproduce/software/config/installation/TARGETS.mk'
file has been created that is easily/cleanly in charge of documenting the
final high-level software that must be built for the project.
Also, until now, FFTW was set as a dependency of Numpy while we couldn't
actually get Numpy to use it! It was just there for future reference and to
justify its build rule. But now that many software won't be built and there
is no problem with having rules even though a project might not use them,
it has been removed.
|
|
With this commit, we add SCAMP into the project. This program is part of
the Astromatic software and the main purpose is to make the fine
astrometry and the distorsion correction astronomical images.
In principle, SCAMP needs ATLAS library to be able to work (that is what
the documentation says). However, we had some problems with ATLAS
libraries on Mac OS system, and due to that, we set the option
`--enable-openblas' in the configure step. By doing that, we are be able
to install SCAMP with no problems.
One dependency of SCAMP is `cdsclient', it has been also added with this
commit. The `cdsclient' package is a set of C and shell routines which can
be built on Unix stations or PCs running Linux, which once compiled
allow to query some databases located at CDS or on mirrors over the
network.
|
|
With this commit, we add SExtractor to be installed into the project. It
is a widely used program to detect object and build catalogues from
astronomical images.
We had some problems when installing it because it could not link with
some ATLAS libraries. But, since we have OpenBLAS installed, we can use
it to override the problem with ATLAS.
|
|
SWarp resamples and co-adds together FITS images using any arbitrary
astrometric projection defined in the WCS standard. It is a very useful
program for astronomy and that is why we added it to the pipeline.
With this commit, we also cite the paper for Astrometry-net that until
now was missing.
|
|
With this commit, we include Astrometry-net software and one remaining
dependency of it (Swig). In principle it should work as far as we tested
all of this software in GNU/Linux, but we need to test also in Mac OS.
As a result, this commit is just for setting all the rules and
dependencies, but more tests are necessaries to ensure it works
properly, specially in Mac OS systems.
|
|
With this commit, the installation of `netpbm' has been included. This
software has a crazy dialogue installation that we override by giving to
it the answers (they differs on GNU/Linux and Mac OS systems). `libxml2'
also has been built (a remaining dependency of `netpbm').
In this commit, `libpng' version has been downgraded because it is
required by `netpbm'.
The motivation of installing `netpbm' is that it is a dependency of
Astrometry-net software.
|
|
In this commit we add Cairo library. The motivation of including this
library is because it is a dependency of Astrometry-net (which is a
common software used in astronomy projects). In principle it will not
be build by default by de pipeline, but we will keep the rule just in
case it is needed.
Pixman is another library which is a prerequisite of Cairo, it is also
built with this commit.
|
|
Until now, the software building and analysis steps of the pipeline were
intertwined. However, these steps (of how to build a software, and how to
use it) are logically completely independent.
Therefore with this commit, the pipeline now has a new architecture
(particularly in the `reproduce' directory) to emphasize this distinction:
The `reproduce' directory now has the two `software' and `analysis'
subdirectories and the respective parts of the previous architecture have
been broken up between these two based on their function. There is also no
more `src' directory. The `config' directory for software and analysis is
now mixed with the language-specific directories.
Also, some of the software versions were also updated after some checks
with their webpages.
This new architecture will allow much more focused work on each part of the
pipeline (to install the software and to run them for an analysis).
