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.
