2019-02-01Group name is now part of the local configurationMohammad Akhlaghi-4/+4
Until now, the group name to build the project actually went into the Git source of the project! This doesn't allow exact reproducibility on different machines (where the group name may be different). With this commit, the `for-group' script has been modified to accept the group name as its first argument and pass that onto `configure' and Make. This is much better now, because not only the existance of a group installation is checked, but also the name of the group. It also made things simpler (in particular in `LOCAL.mk.in').
2019-01-22Updated to newly modified version of metastoreMohammad Akhlaghi-7/+2
In this version, too many extra notices (just regarding a change from branch to branch) are not printed with `-q'. Instead only a one line statement is printed that it is saved or applied.
2019-01-22Not checking metastore's version temporarilyMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+7
Until we see what happens with the pull request of our suggested features in metastore, its version isn't written directly into the executable, so we won't actually check it, but write the version directly into the paper.
2019-01-21Libbsd added as a dependency of MetastoreMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+6
Metastore depends on `bsd/string.h' to work properly (atleast on GNU/Linux systems). The first system I tried building with had that library, so I didn't notice! With this commit, we also build `libbsd' as part of the pipeline. Also, I couldn't find libbsd's version in any of its installed headers, so like Libjpeg, we can't actually check and will directly write our internal version into the paper.
2019-01-21Metastore package now installed to allow keeping file meta-dataMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+2
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).
2019-01-21Separate LaTeX build directory for each user in group scenarioMohammad Akhlaghi-6/+42
When building in group mode, users can manage them selves to work on independent analysis steps and thus not cause conflicts. However, until now, there was no way to avoid conflicts in building the final paper. To fix this problem, when we are in group mode, the pipeline will create a separate LaTeX build director for each user and also a separate PDF file for each user. This will ensure that their compilations don't conflict.
2019-01-14GNU NCURSES and GNU Readline also built before GNU BashMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+4
Readline is a prerequisite of Bash and AWK, while NCURSES is a prerequisite of Readline. With the recent update of GNU Bash (and thus GNU Readline) on my host operating system, the pipeline crashed and I noticed this hole in the pipeline. In particular, AWK (which linked with Readline 7.0) would complain about not finding it and abort.
2019-01-10ccache ignored and disabledMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+2
ccache is a super annoying program in the context of the reproduction pipeline. On systems that use it, the `gcc' and `g++' that are found in PATH are actually calls to `ccache' (so it can manage their call)! Two steps have been taken to ignore and disable ccache (if it isn't ignored properly!): 1) when making symbolic links to compilers, if a directory containing `ccache' is present in the PATH, it is first removed, then we look for the low-level programs that we won't be building. 2) The `CCACHE_DISABLE' environment variable is set to 1 where necessary (with the other environment variables).
2019-01-02Copyright year updated to 2019Mohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
Since the current implementation of this pipeline officially started in 2018, all the files only had 2018 in their copyright years. This has now been corrected to 2018-2019.
2018-12-31Updated Gzip and Gnuastro versions to standard buildsMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+1
Both Gzip and Gnuastro were being bootstrapped personally from their Git repository until now. But fortunately a new release of both came out last week and so to make things standard we are now using their standard tarballs. I also noticed that we weren't checking the version of Gzip or mentioning it in the acknowledgement section. This was also corrected.
2018-12-19Removed temporary file for testing Bzip2's versionMohammad Akhlaghi-6/+7
Bzip2's verison is found differently from the other programs (because it writes no standard error, not standard output!). So a custom function is written for it which includes creating a temporary file. But we had forgot to delete that file after the version is found.
2018-12-02Wget and OpenSSL now installed as a basic dependencyMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+5
The TeX Live installer needs Wget to operate smoothly, especially on recent Mac OS systems that don't have Wget pre-installed. Also, it would be good for the pipeline to have its own downloader. So with this commit, the pipeline also installs Wget and OpenSSL which is a dependency. Many other small changes/fixes were done in this process.
2018-12-01Improved TeXLive installation checksMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
Thanks to the check by Cristina Martínez, some corrections were made when we attempt to download and install TeXLive. Further checks and corrections will be in due time.
2018-11-28Better control of shared library linkingMohammad Akhlaghi-10/+13
Until now we weren't explicity writing the full path of the dynamic libraries necessary for linking a program. But now with `-Wl,-rpath=$(ildir)' we ensure that the linker keeps the address of the dynamic libraries necessary for linking at linking time, not running time. Also, `pkg-config' is also built when preparing the basics. Several other minor corrections were made thanks to the great help of Raúl Infante Sainz.
2018-11-26Making lock file directoryMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
We had forgot to add the rule to build the lock file directory for downloading data. This has been corrected.
2018-11-26High-level dependencies build without system's PATHMohammad Akhlaghi-3/+7
The high-level dependencies are now built without having access to the system's PATH. To do this, all the necessary software that we aren't building ourselves are now brought into the installed `bin/' directory using a symbolic link to the corresponding software on the host. To do this, it was also necessary to increase the number of basic/low-level packages that we are building, and add several more (Diffutils and Findutils). With this process in place, we now have a list of the exact software packages that we are not building our selves, enabling easy building of all such dependencies in the future.
2018-11-25Pipeline now downloads and uses an input datasetMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+9
In most analysis situations (except for simulations), an input dataset is necessary, but that part of the pipeline was just left out and a general `SURVEY' variable was set and never used. So with this commit, we actually use a sample FITS file from the FITS standard webpage, show it (as well as its histogram) and do some basic calculations on it. This preparation of the input datasets is done in a generic way to enable easy addition of more datasets if necessary.
2018-11-19Removed GNU Binutils, CMake's built with its own bootstrapMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+0
When the C compiler is not GNU GCC, linking with GNU Binutils is going to cause problems. So until the time that we can include GCC into this pipeline, its best to avoid Binutils also. Also, for building CMake, we were relying on an installed CMake, but now, we are using its own `./bootstrap' script, so it can be built even if the host system doesn't have CMake. Also, for TeX Live, we are now setting a custom file as main target to avoid complications with symbolic links as targets in Make. Finally, when the user says they don't want to re-write an existing configuration file, no extra notices will be printed and the configure script will immediately start building programs.
2018-11-19Minor corrections for easy applying of checklistMohammad Akhlaghi-4/+8
After going through the checklist for starting a new project based on the pipeline, I noticed some parts that could be modified to be more clear. They are now applied.
2018-11-18Pipeline also installs TeX live and necessary packagesMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+5
Since the final product of the pipeline is a LaTeX-created PDF file, it was necessary to also have LaTeX within the pipeline. With this commit, TeX Live is also built as part of the configuration and all the necessary packages to build the PDF are also installed and mentioned in the paper along with their versions.
2018-11-17TeX Live also built within the pipeline (no extra packages yet)Mohammad Akhlaghi-6/+5
TeX Live is now also downloaded and built by the reproduction pipeline. Currently on the basic (TeX and LaTeX) source is built but no extra packages, so the PDF building will fail. We'll add them in the next commit.
2018-11-15Binutils and other compressors also included in pipelineMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+16
To have better control over the build, GNU Binutils, Bzip2, GNU Gzip, and XZ Utils have also been added to the pipeline. Some other minor cleanups and fixes were also implemented throughout the process.
2018-11-14Lzip and Tar also built as basic dependenciesMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+4
To ensure the easy unpacking and building of the programs, Lzip and Tar are now also build during the initial setup phase. Some minor corrections were also applied to make things cleaner and smoother.
2018-11-14Configuration stops if a dependency cannot be builtMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+2
Until now, we used semicolons in Make's Call function definitions to build the programs with GNU build system or CMake. Therefore, if any step of the process failed, the rest would be ignorant to it and pass. Now, we use `&&' to separate the different processing steps. In this way, we can be sure that if any of them fails (during configuration, or building for example), the pipeline will also stop and not continue to the next command (in the same recipe). Since the two Make Call functions were identical in the two `dependencies-basic.mk' and `dependencies.mk', they are now in one file to be imported in both. This bug was found by Raul Infante Sainz.
2018-11-13Most library versions are now also checkedMohammad Akhlaghi-22/+50
All the libraries that define their version string as a macro in their headers are now also checked in `reproduce/src/make/initialize.mk'. Also, the CFITSIO tarball now follows the same versioning style as the rest of the tarballs: a script is added to convert the version string into what is included in the tarball.
2018-11-13Version of programs checked on each run of pipelineMohammad Akhlaghi-9/+32
The version of all programs is now checked in `reproduce/make/src/initialize.mk' and the pipeline won't complete if any of the program versions change from those listed in `reproduce/config/pipeline/dependency-versions.mk'. Since the pipeline is systematically checking all program versions, we don't need Gnuastro's `--onlyversion' option any more. So it (and all references to it) have been removed.
2018-11-12System's environment (including PATH) only available for LaTeXMohammad Akhlaghi-5/+6
The system's environment is now removed from the internal processing of the pipeline, except for LaTeX.
2018-11-12Libcurl, Git, CMake, TIFF, Zlib also built at configure timeMohammad Akhlaghi-3/+26
During the configuration step several new programs that were necessary for a more complete controlled environment are now also downloaded and built statically.
2018-11-12Dependencies built at the start of the pipelineMohammad Akhlaghi-58/+26
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.
2018-08-11Added bash as a dependency to be checked at configure timeMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
While we had set the default Makefile SHELL to be bash, we weren't actually checking if `bash' is available on the system. With this commit, it is also checked at configure time.
2018-02-27Default PDF now uses PGFPlots and BibLaTeXMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+4
Making plots and including references are integral parts of a scientific paper. Therefore to demonstrate how cleanly they can be used within the pipeline, they are now used to produce the final PDF. To use PGFPlots a random dataset is made (using AWK's random function) and is plotted using PGFPlots. The minimum and maximum values of the dataset are also included in the text to further show how such calculations can go into the macros and text. For the references, the NoiseChisel paper was added as a reference to cite when using this pipeline along with the MUSE UDF paper I, which uses this pipeline for two sections. Following this discussion, citation is also discussed in `README.md` and the NoiseChisel paper is also added as a published work with a reproduction pipeline.
2018-02-27Copyrights and TeX management made more clearMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+11
Until now, the copyright statement was left empty for the users of the pipeline to fill. However, the files have already been created and have an author (or contributing authors) before the user starts using the pipeline. So the original authors of the files are added along with the year. The user can add their own name to the existing files under the "Contributing author" when they start and they will be the "Original author" of the new files they create. Several changes were also made to the TeX management: - LaTeX is run within a `reproduce/build/tex/build' directory now. Not in the top reproduction pipeline directory. This helps keep all the auxiliary TeX files and directories in that directory and keep the top reproduction pipeline directory clean. After the final PDF is built, a copy is put in the top reproduction pipeline directory for easy viewing. - The PGFPlots preamble was also made more useful, allowing the name of the `.tex' file to also be the name of the final plot that is produced. This is a GREAT feature, because without it, the TiKZ externalization would be based on order of the plots within the paper. But now, order is irrelevant and we can even delete the TiKZ files within the processing workhorse-Makefiles so the plots are definitly rebuilt on the next run. - The paper is now in a two-column format to be more similar to published papers. A tip on debugging Make was added to `README.md'.
2018-02-15Gnuastro's memory mapping is now a local variableMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+4
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.
2018-02-14clean-mmap now a dependency of cleanMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+2
Until now, Gnuastro's `mmap' files were included in the `rm' commands of `clean*' rules two times. But by setting `clean-mmap' as a dependency of `clean', it is now only necessary to have them in the Makefile once. This also makes the code much more cleaner.
2018-02-14Symbolic link to build directory now permanently addedMohammad Akhlaghi-24/+21
Managing this symbolic link as a prerequisite that may or maynot be defined just made the code too dirty. It is almost always needed, so it is now a super-high-level prerequisite (first dependency of the `all' target, even before the final PDF). In this way, we can be sure it is always built and that nothing else depends on it. If the user doesn't want it, they can simply remove it from the top `Makefile'.
2018-02-14Sanity checks added, local settings now in LOCAL.mk.inMohammad Akhlaghi-11/+57
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.
2018-02-08Initialization results now a .PHONY targetMohammad Akhlaghi-6/+10
Recently the filename keeping TeX macros for the versions was changed from `versions.tex' to `initialization.tex' (since it also contained the build directory). However, it was forgotten to correct the change of name in the `.PHONY' targets, so it was not being rebuilt every time. This is corrected now.
2018-02-07First commit to the reproduction pipeline templateMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+114
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.
