Summary: this commit has no effect on your project's analysis steps, just
check the list of changed Python software versions (if you used them).
Until now, the Python packages of Maneage had not been maintained for some
time, there were several portability issues: updates to the GNU C Library
needed an update to some of the basic software, and the latest macOS
features caused some crashes.
With this commit, along with the software version updates of [1], the
removed software of [2] and newly added software of [3], the following
issues in Maneage have been addressed:
- README-hacking:
- Published paper list: Added links to two published papers.
- Publication checklist: added tips on how to squash the full LaTeX
source of a Maneage'd projet (which includes many LaTeX files) into a
single LaTeX file for some journals.
- A new "Maneage Development Workflow" section has been added; see it
for details.
- paper.mk: empty macro files are not included in the built 'project.tex'
since they have no effect and because they can cause problems with
uploading to arXiv (which removes empty files).
- verify.mk: when verification is activated:
- When a macro file does not exist (can happen by mistake), an error is
printed to remind the author.
- Better dealing with empty macro files (no need to add their hash).
- versions.conf: 26 Python packages that cannot currently be built with
the new Python build system of Maneage have been separated and commented
to cause an early crash if they are required; and encourage volunteers
to help update them.
This commit is a git "squash" of contributions from the following people
- Boud Roukema: updated/added Python packages and fixed many portability
issues.
- Faezeh Bidjarchian: fixed some portability issues on macOS.
- Giacomo Lorenzetti: tested and fixed issues in newly added software.
- Khalid Masum: fixed issue with order of LD_LIBRARY_PATH in 'basic.mk'.
- Mohammad Akhlaghi: fixed basic software issues and reviewed edits for
the merge.
- Raul Infante-Sainz: fixed portability issues on macOS.
- Sepideh Eskandarlou: helped in finding the verification fixes.
