2018-11-12Corrected CFITSIO building recipeMohammad Akhlaghi-1/+1
We were mistakenly using GSL's name for the unpacked tarball.
2018-11-12Libcurl, Git, CMake, TIFF, Zlib also built at configure timeMohammad Akhlaghi-90/+142
During the configuration step several new programs that were necessary for a more complete controlled environment are now also downloaded and built statically.
2018-11-12Added tarball host webp addresses for downloadMohammad Akhlaghi-12/+15
The host web address of most of the necessary packages was blank (filled with `WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW' as a place holder). They now point to the correct webpages.
2018-11-12Dependencies built at the start of the pipelineMohammad Akhlaghi-73/+407
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.
2018-08-11Emphasized correcting name in copyright notice in checklistMohammad Akhlaghi-3/+3
While trying the checklist, I noticed that I had forgot to add my name after the copyright year and that `reproduce/src/make/paper.mk' still had my own name on it, the copyright notice also said `script' instead of `Makefile' which is now corrected.
2018-08-11Corrected copyright notice correction description in checklistMohammad Akhlaghi-0/+1
To be more generic (and avoid listing file names in `README.md'), a command is now used to find the files where the name has to be added to the copyright notice. Also, I noticed that `reproduce/src/make/paper.mk' lacked a placeholder name/email, so one was added.
2018-08-11Not using random distribution in demonstration plotMohammad Akhlaghi-2/+1
Different implementations of AWK may use different random number generators, so even setting the seed will not ensure a reproducible result. Because of this, the random plot may be different when the pipeline runs on different systems and this can confuse early users (its contrary to the exact reproducibility that is the whole purpose of this pipeline). The plot is just a simple X^2 plot, showing the squared value of the X axis on the Y axis. It is very simple, but atleast it will be identical on all systems. Also, there may be too many complicated things in the pipeline already for an early user, and its just a demonstration, so the easier/simpler, the better.
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.
2018-02-27More clear comments in paper.mkMohammad Akhlaghi-3/+7
The comments needed to be corrected to fit and explain the new logic (LaTeX being run within another directory).
2018-02-27Default PDF now uses PGFPlots and BibLaTeXMohammad Akhlaghi-7/+105
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-9/+26
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'.
2018-02-20Necessary programs checked at configure timeMohammad Akhlaghi-17/+1
The mandatory and optional (for example downloader) dependencies are now checked at configure time so users can know what they may be missing before the processing starts. Since its recommended to be run in parallel, it can be hard to find what you are missing after running the pipeline. As part of these checks, the program to use for downloading is now also set at configure time, it is only used as a pre-defined (in `LOCAL.mk') variable during Make's processing. A small title was also added to discus the pipeline architecture that will be filled in the next commit.
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/+216
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.
