Until now, Maneage would only build Flock before building everything else
using Make (calling 'basic.mk') in parallel. Flock was necessary to avoid
parallel downloads during the building of software (which could cause
network problems). But after recently trying Maneage on FreeBSD (which is
not yet complete, see bug #58465), we noticed that the BSD implemenation of
Make couldn't parse 'basic.mk' (in particular, complaining with the 'ifeq'
parts) and its shell also had some peculiarities.
It was thus decided to also install our own minimalist shell, Make and
compressor program before calling 'basic.mk'. In this way, 'basic.mk' can
now assume the same GNU Make features that high-level.mk and python.mk
assume. The pre-make building of software is now organized in
'reproduce/software/shell/pre-make-build.sh'.
Another nice feature of this commit is for macOS users: until now the
default macOS Make had problems for parallel building of software, so
'basic.mk' was built in one thread. But now that we can build the core
tools with GNU Make on macOS too, it uses all threads. Furthermore, since
we now run 'basic.mk' with GNU Make, we can use '.ONESHELL' and don't have
to finish every line of a long rule with a backslash to keep variables and
such.
Generally, the pre-make software are now organized like this: first we
build Lzip before anything else: it is downloaded as a simple '.tar' file
that is not compressed (only ~400kb). Once Lzip is built, the pre-make
phase continues with building GNU Make, Dash (a minimalist shell) and
Flock. All of their tarballs are in '.tar.lz'. Maneage then enters
'basic.mk' and the first program it builds is GNU Gzip (itself packaged as
'.tar.lz'). Once Gzip is built, we build all the other compression software
(all downloaded as '.tar.gz'). Afterwards, any compression standard for
other software is fine because we have it.
In the process, a bug related to using backup servers was found in
'reproduce/analysis/bash/download-multi-try' for calling outside of
'basic.mk' and removed Bash-specific features. As a result of that bug-fix,
because we now have multiple servers for software tarballs, the backup
servers now have their own configuration file in
'reproduce/software/config/servers-backup.conf'. This makes it much easier
to maintain the backup server list across the multiple places that we need
it.
Some other minor fixes:
- In building Bzip2, we need to specify 'CC' so it doesn't use 'gcc'.
- In building Zip, the 'generic_gcc' Make option caused a crash on FreeBSD
(which doesn't have GCC).
- We are now using 'uname -s' to specify if we are on a Linux kernel or
not, if not, we are still using the old 'on_mac_os' variable.
- While I was trying to build on FreeBSD, I noticed some further
corrections that could help. For example the 'makelink' Make-function
now takes a third argument which can be a different name compared to the
actual program (used for examle to make a link to '/usr/bin/cc' from
'gcc'.
- Until now we didn't know if the host's Make implementation supports
placing a '@' at the start of the recipe (to avoid printing the actual
commands to standard output). Especially in the tarball download phase,
there are many lines that are printed for each download which was really
annoying. We already used '@' in 'high-level.mk' and 'python.mk' before,
but now that we also know that 'basic.mk' is called with our custom GNU
Make, we can use it at the start for a cleaner stdout.
- Until now, WCSLIB assumed a Fortran compiler, but when the user is on a
system where we can't install GCC (or has activated the '--host-cc'
option), it may not be present and the project shouldn't break because
of this. So with this commit, when a Fortran compiler isn't present,
WCSLIB will be built with the '--disable-fortran' configuration option.
This commit (task #15667) was completed with help/checks by Raul
Infante-Sainz and Boud Roukema.

Until this commit, when the user had a previous TeXLive tarball already
present (in their software-tarball directory) compared to the CTAN server,
the project crashed in the configure phase. This was because TeXLive is
updated yearly and we don't yet install TeXLive from source (currently we
use its own package manager, but we plan to fix this in task #15267).
With this commit, we fix the problem by checking the cause of the crash
during the installation of TeX. If the crash is due to this particular
error, we ignore the old tarball and download the new one and install it
(the old one is still kept in '.build/software/tarballs', but will get a
'-OLD' in its name. This probem was recurrent, and every year that TeXLive
is updated, the previous tarball had to be removed manually! But with this
commit, this is done automatically. The detection and fix of this bug has
been possible with the help of Mohammad Akhlaghi, thanks!

One of the main reasons to building Maneage is to properly
acknowledge/attribute the authors of software in research. So we have
adopted a standard of never referring to the GNU-based operating systems
running the Linux kernel simply as "Linux", we avoid terms like "Open
Sourse" and use Free Software instead (in the same spirit).
With this commit, a few instances of the cases above have been corrected,
they had slipped through our fingers when we initially imported them into
the project. In the special case of the "Journal for Open Source Software",
we simply replaced it with its abbreviation (JOSS). This was done because
in effect we were generally using journal name abbreviations in almost all
the citations already. To avoid any inconsistancies, the names of the three
other journals that weren't abbreviated are also abbreviated.

With this commit, Maneage now includes instructions to build the memory
tracing tool Valgrind and the program 'patch' (to apply corrections/patches
in text files and in particular the sources of programs).
For this version of Valgrind, some patches were necessary for an interface
with OpenMPI 2.x (which is the case now). Also note that this version of
Valgrind's checks can fail with GCC 10.1.x (when using '--host-cc'), and
the failures aren't due to internal problems but due to how the tests are
designed (https://bugs.gentoo.org/707598). So currently if any of
Valgrind's checks fail, Maneage still assumes that Valgrind was built and
installed successfully.
While testing on macOS, we noticed that it needs the macOS-specific 'mig'
program which we can't build in Maneage. DESCRIPTION: The mig command
invokes the Mach Interface Generator to generate Remote Procedure Call
(RPC) code for client-server style Mach IPC from specification files. So a
symbolic link to the system's 'mig' is now added to the project's programs
on macOS systems.
This commit's build of Patch and Valgrind has been tested on two GNU/Linux
distributions (Debian and ArchLinux) as well as macOS.
Work on this commit started by Boud Roukema, but also involved tests and
corrections by Mohammad Akhlaghi and Raul Infante-Sainz.

In time, some of the copyright license description had been mistakenly
shortened to two paragraphs instead of the original three that is
recommended in the GPL. With this commit, they are corrected to be exactly
in the same three paragraph format suggested by GPL.
The following files also didn't have a copyright notice, so one was added
for them:
reproduce/software/make/README.md
reproduce/software/bibtex/healpix.tex
reproduce/analysis/config/delete-me-num.conf
reproduce/analysis/config/verify-outputs.conf

Until this commit, Scamp was installed with the option
`--enable-plplot=yes' (the default). However, Maneage does not have PLplot
included. As it is possible to install Scamp without PLplot (in that case
it won't generate plots), with this commit this option has been set to
`no'. As a consequence, Scamp will be installed even if the host system
does not have PLplot without crashing (but it won't make any plot).
|

Until now Maneage used the host's GNU Gettext if it was present. Gettext is
a relatively low-level software that enables programs to print messages in
different languages based on the host environment. Even though it has not
direct effect on the running of the software for Maneage and the lanugage
environment in Maneage is pre-determined, it is necessary to have it
because if the basic programs see it in the host they will link with it and
will have problems if/when the host's Gettext is updated.
With this commit (which is actually a squashed rebase of 9 commits by Raul
and Mohammad), Gettext and its two extra dependencies (libxml2 and
libunistring) are now installed within Maneage as a basic software and
built before GNU Bash. As a result, all programs built afterwards will
successfully link with our own internal version of Gettext and
libraries. To get this working, some of the basic software dependencies had
to updated and re-ordered and it has been tested in both GNU/Linux and
macoS.
Some other minor issues that are fixed with this commit
- Until this commit, when TeX was not installed, the warning message
saying how to run the configure step in order to re-configure the
project was not showing the option `-e'. However, the use of this option
is more convenient than entering the top-build directory and etc every
time. So with this commit, the warning message has been changed in order
use the option `-e' in the re-configure of the project.
- Until now, on macOS systems, Bash was not linking with our internally
built `libncurses'. With this commit, this has been fixed by setting
`--withcurses=yes' for Bash's configure script.

Until now, when you changed the version of a software in an already-built
system, its tarball would be downloaded, but it wouldn't actually
build. The only way would be to force the build by deleting the main target
of that file (under `.local/version-info/TYPE/PROGRAM'). This was because
the tarballs were an order-only prerequisite which was implemented some
time ago based on some theoretical argument that if the tarball dates
changes, the software should not be rebuilt (because we check the
checksum).
However, the problems this causes are more than those it solves: Users may
forget to delete the main target of the program and mistakenly think that
they are using the new version. The fact that all the numbers going into
the paper also contain this number further hides this.
With this commit, tarballs are no longer order-only and any time a version
of a software is updated, it will be automatically built and not cause
confusion and manual intervention by the users. As a result of this change,
I also had to correct the way we find the tarball from the list of
prerequisites.
|
|
Similar to the previous commit (e43e3291483699), following a change made
yesterday in the identification of software names from their tarballs, a
few other problematic names are corrected with this commit: `apr-util',
HDF5, TeX Live's installation tarball and `rpcsvc-proto'.
Even though we have visually checked the list of software, other
unidentified similar cases may remain and will be fixed when found in
practice.
|

Until now, the sed script for determining URL download rules in the three
software building Makefiles (`basic.mk', `high-level.mk' and `python.mk')
considered package names such as `fftw-3...` and `fftw2-2.1...` to be
identical. As the example above shows, this would make it hard to include
some software that may hav conflicting non-number names.
With this commit, the SED script that is used to separate the version from
the tarball name only matches numbers that are after a dash
(`-'). Therefore considers `fftw-3...` and `fftw-2...` to be identical, but
`fftw-3-...` and `fftw2-2.1...` to be different. As a result of this
change, the `elif' check for some of the other programs like `m4', or
`help2man' was also corrected in all three Makefiles.
While doing this check on all the software, we noticed that `zlib-version'
is being repeated two times in `version.conf' so it was removed. It caused
no complications, because both were the same number, but could lead to bugs
later.
|
|
Until now, throughout Maneage we were using the old name of "Reproducible
Paper Template". But we have finally decided to use Maneage, so to avoid
confusion, the name has been corrected in `README-hacking.md' and also in
the copyright notices.
Note also that in `README-hacking.md', the main Maneage branch is now
called `maneage', and the main Git remote has been changed to
`https://gitlab.com/maneage/project' (this is a new GitLab Group that I
have setup for all Maneage-related projects). In this repository there is
only one `maneage' branch to avoid complications with the `master' branch
of the projects using Maneage later.
|
|
Until now, when a the raw tarball of some software wasn't usable, I would
put it under my own webpage, or `akhlaghi.org/reproduce-software'. That
same address was also used as a backup server. However, now the project has
a proper name: Maneage. So I changed the directory on my own server to
`akhlaghi.org/maneage-software'.
With this commit, this new address has replaced the old one. But to avoid
crashes in projects that haven't yet merged with the main Maneage branch,
the old `reproduce-software' still works (its actually a symbolic link to
the new directory now).
|
|
Until now the software configuration parameters were defined under the
`reproduce/software/config/installation/' directory. This was because the
configuration parameters of analysis software (for example Gnuastro's
configurations) were placed under there too. But this was terribly
confusing, because the run-time options of programs falls under the
"analysis" phase of the project.
With this commit, the Gnuastro configuration files have been moved under
the new `reproduce/analysis/config/gnuastro' directory and the software
configuration files are directly under `reproduce/software/config'. A clean
build was done with this change and it didn't crash, but it may cause
crashes in derived projects, so after merging with Maneage, please
re-configure your project to see if anything has been missed. Please let us
know if there is a problem.

In the previous commit, I removed the year from the basic installation of
TeXLive packages, but I forgot to correct this in the high-level TeXLive
packages! This is corrected with this commit.
|
|
It is this time of year again: TeXLive has transitioned to its 2020 release
and the year is imprinted into the installation directory of TeXLive. Until
now, we have had to manually change this year and it caused complications
and was very annoying.
With this commit, the explicit year has been removed from TeXLive's
installation and we now simply put a `maneage' instead of the year. I tried
this on another system and it worked nicely. Until the time that we can
fully install LaTeX packages from source tarballs, this is the best thing
we could do for now.
|
|
Until now, Astropy was instructed to build its own internal copy of the
Expat library. However, with the recent commits before, Maneage now
includes an installation of Expat and Astropy can't keep the two (its
internal version and the project's version) separate, so they conflict and
don't let Astropy get built.
With this commit, the problem is fixed by setting the Expat library as an
explicit dependency of Astropy and asking Astropy to ignore its internal
copy.
While doing this, I recognized that it is much easier and elegant to add
steps in various stages of the `pybuild' function through hooks instead of
variables. So the fifth argument of the `pybuild' function was removed and
now it actually checks if hooks are defined as functions and if so, they
will be called.
The `pyhook_after' function was also implemented in the installation of
`pybind11' (which needed it, given that the 5th argument of `pybuild' was
removed) and after doing a test-build, I noticed that two lines were not
ending with a `\' in `boost' (a dependency of `pybind11').

Until now, the M4 that was built on macOS had internal problems (as
discussed in #1): it would simply print `Abort trap: 6' in the output and
abort. After looking at the build of Homebrew, I noticed that they apply a
patch (correct one line) to fix this problem. To be able to apply that
patch on macOS systems, I had fully open up the build recipe of M4 and
atleast on the testing system, it was built successfully.
Also, after successfully building M4, and thus Autoconf and thus Minizip,
we were able to build XLSX I/O on a macOS and found out that the internal
library's full address wasn't being put in the libraries and
executables. With this commit, we now use macOS's `install_name_tool' to
correct the positions of the two `libxlsxio_*' libraries in all its
executables.
This commit was originally written by Mohammad Akhlaghi
|
|
Until this commit, only the word `Minizip' was written into the Minizip
installation target (without the version number of Minizip). With this
commit, this minor bug has been fixed by using the appropiate Make
variable: `$(minizip-version)'.
|
|
Minizip is a dependency of XLSX I/O and until now, I was just using the
most recent version I found (2.9.2), but XLSX I/O is written for the
Minizip 1.x series, not 2.x. Somehow it didn't cause a crash on my
computer!!! I think XLSX I/O's CMake is instructed to look into system
directories by default when it doesn't find the directories in the given
places. And because I had installed Minizip on my operating system, it
did't complain.
Upon trying the build on their systems, Yahya, Raul and Zahra reported a
failure in the build of XLSX I/O which was due the to the problem above (we
were installing the wrong version of Minizip!).
With this commit, this has been fixed by installing the 1.x series of
Minizip (whish is actually installed within zlib!).
This commit was original done by Mohammad Akhlaghi.

With this commit, multiples tabs in the definition of MissFITS tarball
have been removed. Now they are white spaces.
|
|
MissFITS is package for manipulating FITS files.
I added it as my first commit to the project for educational
purposes.
|
|
XLSX I/O is a very simple and fast program and library for reading and
writing `.xls' and `.xlsx' files (mainly used by Microsoft Excel) to CSV
files. It has two separate executables that can be called for an Excel file
and will output a CSV plain text file that can then be used within the
pipeline with more standard tools.

Until now, the main download script could only check one server for the
given URL. However, ultimately the actual server that a file is downloaded
from is irrelevant for this project: we actually check its
checksum. Especially in the case of software (which are distributed over
many servers), this can usually be very annoying: the servers may not
properly communicate with the running system and even the 10 trials won't
be enough.
With this commit, the download script
`reproduce/analysis/bash/download-multi-try' can take a new optional
argument (a 5th argument). It assumes this argument is a space-separated
list of server(s) to use as backup for the original URL. When downloading
from the original URL fails, it will look into this list and try
downloading the same file from each given server.
|
|
Until now the shell scripts in the software building phase were in the
`reproduce/software/bash' directory. But given our recent change to a
POSIX-only start, the `configure.sh' shell script (which is the main
component of this directory) is no longer written with Bash.
With this commit, to fix that problem, that directory's name has been
changed to `reproduce/software/shell'.
|
|
Until now, the project would first ask for the basic directories, then it
would start testing the compiler. But that was problematic because the
build directory can come from a previous setting (with `./project configure
-e'). Also, it could confuse users to first ask for details, then suddently
tell them that you don't have a working C library! We also need to store
the CPATH variable in the `LOCAL.conf' because in some cases, the compiler
won't work without it.
With this commit, the compiler checking has been moved at the start of the
configure script. Instead of putting the test program in the build
directory, we now make a temporary hidden directory in the source directory
and delete that directory as soon as the tests are done.
In the process, I also noticed that the copyright year of the two hidden
files weren't updated and corrected them.
|
|
Until now Perl was built after Coreutils, but I recently noticed that
Coreutils actually uses Perl while creating its manpages. So it is now
built before Coreutils.
Also, while testing on an Amazon AWS EC2 server, we noticed that Coreutils
can't build its man page for `md5sum'. The problem was found to be due to
the fact that until now, we weren't actually setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to our
installed library path in `basic.mk'. Therefore, it would crash because the
server had an older version of OpenSSL than the one that the template's
Coreutils was built with.
In the meantime (while addressing the issues above, because we only had one
thread on the AWS server) I also noticed a few programs that were using a
summarize compilation command (that just prints `CC xxx.c' instead of the
whole command) so I fixed them by adding `V=1'.
This bug was found by Idafen Santana Pérez.
|
|
Until now, the configuration Makefiles (in
`reproduce/software/config/installation' and `reproduce/analysis/config')
had a `.mk' suffix, similar to the workhorse Makefiles. Although they are
indeed Makefiles, but given their nature (to only keep configuration
parameters), it is confusing (especially to early users) for them to also
have a `.mk' (similar to the analysis or software building Makefiles).
To address this issue, with this commit, all the configuration Makefiles
(in those directories) are now given a `.conf' suffix. This is also assumed
for all the files that are loaded.
The configuration (software building) and running of the template have been
checked with this change from scratch, but please report any error that may
not have been noticed.
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT CHANGE AND WILL CAUSE CRASHES OR UNEXPECTED BEHAVIORS
FOR PROJECTS THAT HAVE BRANCHED FROM THIS TEMPLATE. PLEASE CORRECT THE
SUFFIX OF ALL YOUR PROJECT'S CONFIGURATION MAKEFILES (IN THE DIRECTORIES
ABOVE), OTHERWISE THEY AREN'T AUTOMATICALLY LOADED ANYMORE.
|

Until now, GCC wouldn't build properly on Debian-based operating systems
because `ld' needed to link with several necessary C library features like
`crti.o' and `crtn.o' (this is an `ld' issue, not GCC). The solution is to
add the directory containing them to `LIBRARY_PATH'. In the previous
commit, I actually searched for these files, but while testing on another
system, I noticed that it can be problematic (other architectures may
exist).
With this commit, we are actually finding the build architecture of the
running GCC (which is the same as the `ld') and using that to fix a fixed
directory to `LIBRARY_PATH'.
|
|
Until now, when find the versions of the TeXLive packages, we would assume
that `cat-date' is always present (because some packages don't have a
version!). However, apparently an update has been made in the TeXLive
Manager (`tlmgr') and `cat-date' is no longer present! As a result, none of
the TeXLive packages were being printed.
With this commit, it now assumes that `revision' is always present for
every package, but it also attempts to read `cat-date' (for backwards
compatability). When `cat-version' isn't present, it will try printing
`revision' and if that is also not present, it will print the date.
|
|
Until this commit, the checking of X11 installation done to ensure that
it is already available in the host system was crashing in macOS
systems. The reason is that the place of the X11 libraries use to be
`/opt/X11/lib' in macOS systems. With this commit, this issue has been
fixed by adding this directory to the LDFLAGS.
|
|
Now that its 2020, its necessary to include this year in the copyright
statements.
|
|
Until this commit, the number `2' was missing in the checksum variable
name of that library. It was `libxml-checksum' but it should be
`libxml2-checksum'. With this commit, this issue has been fixed.
|
|
OpenMP takes a LONG TIME to build, so to keep things reproducible we are
explicitly disabling OpenMP, if a user needs OpenMP, its trivial to just
add it as a prerequisite of R. The problem is that in some scenarios (based
on other dependencies and when they were built in the build directory),
OpenMP may be present when R is being installed and in other it may not. We
don't want the result to be different between the two builds.
|
|
With this commit, we now have the core R interpretter within the
template. We should later include instructions to install R packages
(possibly in a separate top-level Makefile like Python).
|
|
Until now, Ghostscript was using some host system's X11 libraries during
its build (and later at run-time). We should ideally install all these
necessary libraries within the template (Task #15481). But right now we are
too busy.
As a temporary work-around we try building a small dummy program that links
with some of those libraries before attempting to built Ghostscript. If it
fails, then a notice is printed with the cause and explaining a temporary
solution is suggested: how to install those libraries on the system when
you have root access.
|
|
Until now when building Matplotlib on macOS systems, we were using the
default C compiler. However, while Yahya Sefidbakht (previously) and
Mahdieh Nabavi (now) were trying to build the template, on their macOS
using the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), we found that Matplotlib needs
special macOS headers that GCC doesn't recognize.
With this commit, when Matplotlib is being built on macOS systems, it uses
`clang' and this fixed the problem (so far checked on Mahdieh's machine).
|

These two packages are necessary to build the GNU C Library.

|
When building the log4cxx tarball from its Git history, I noticed that
files with very long names are not packaged by tar (because by default
Automake uses the ancient v7 tar format that only supports file names less
than 99 characters).
So I build the tarball with the `tar-ustar' option to Automake (by
modifying the log4cxx source) and the resulting tarball was able to compile
and run successfully. This has been described above the rule to build
log4cxx and I also sent an email to their developing mailing list to inform
them of this problem. If they address it, I will remove the note on the
necessary corrections.
|
|
Some minor corrections were made in the template:
- When making the distribution, `.swp' files (created by Vim) are also
removed.
- Autoconf is set as a prerequisite of Automake
I was also trying to add the Apache log4cxx, but its default 0.10.0 tarball
needs some patches, so I have just left it half done until someone actually
needs it and we apply the patch.
|
|
Until now, the tarballs were the first normal prerequisite of the
software. As a result if their date changed, the whole software would be
re-built. However, for tarballs specifically, we actually check their
contents with a checksum, so their date is irrelevant (if its newer than
the built program, but has the same checksum, there is no need to re-build
the software).
Also, calling the tarball name as an argument to the building process (for
example `gbuild') was redundant. It is now automatically found from the
list of order-only prerequisites within `gbuild' and `cbuild' (similar to
how it was previously found in the `pybuild' for Python building).
A `README.md' file has also been placed in `reproduce/software/make' to
help describe the shared properties of the software building
Makefiles. This will hopefully grow much larger in the future.
|
|
The tarball of HEALPix includes multiple languages and doesn't include the
ready-to-run GNU Build System by default, we actually have to build the
`./configure' script for the C/C++ libraries. So it was necessary to also
include GNU Autoconf and GNU Automake as prerequisites of HEALPix.
However, the official GNU Autoconf tarball (dating from 2012) doesn't build
on modern systems, so I just cloned it from its source and bootstrapped it
and built its modern tarball which we are using here.
|
|
As part of an effort to bring in all the dependencies of the LSST Science
pipeline (which includes the last commit), these software are now available
in the template.
|
|
With this commit these three software packages are now installable with
this template.
|
|
Since ImageMagick can take long to build, we are now building it in
parallel. Also, the part where we replace an `_' with `\_' in the software
version at the end of the configure script was removed. It is more
clear/readable that the actual rule that includes such a name deals with
the underline (as is the case for `sip_tpv' which already dealt with it).
Finally, I noticed that the checks at the start of `top-prepare' were
missing new-lines. I had forgot that the Make single-shell variable isn't
activated in this stage yet.
|
|
It was some time since these three software were not updated! With this
commit the template now uses the most recent stable release of these
packages.
Also, the hosting server for ImageMagick was moved to my own webpage
because unfortunately ImageMagick removes its tarballs from its own
version.
|
|
Until now we were calling it `Sextractor', but the official way of writing
it is `SExtractor'. With this commit, this has been corrected.
|
|
New versions of astropy, bash, cmake, curl, findutils, gawk, gcc,
ghostscript, git, make, gsl had recently come so they are updated with this
commit.
About GNU Findutils and GNU Make: I was bootstrapping (building the tarball
of) these two separately separately because their standard tarball release
had problems on some systems. Both have been updated now so I am no longer
using my own webpage as their main URL.
A special note about GNU Make. I just noticed that during bootstrapping,
GNU Make would use the fixed version string of `4.2.90' for any commit!!!
But fortunately they have officially released their 4.2.90 version, so we
are safely using their own webpage. The only difference is the compression
format. My old bootstrapped build was `tar.lz', but the standard release is
`tar.gz'.
Also, all the basic programs (installed in `.local/bin') in `basic.mk' are
now existance-only dependencies (after a `|'). Because later programs just
use them at a very basic level, so there is no need to rebuild everything
when Bash gets updated for example.

Until now, OpenMPI would complain about not having `ssh' or `rsh' as a
remote shell feature. However, such features should not be necessary in a
reproducible scenario and they also have major security issues.
With this commit, we are now using OpenMPI's `OMPI_MCA_plm_rsh_agent'
environment variable to disable any remote shell dependency for it (as
suggested by Boud). Therefore, any dependency for OpenSSH has been
removed. But I thought to keep the build instructions incase it may be
useful under some un-foreseen scenario. However, to discourage people from
building it, a notice was added ontop of the build instructions.
This bug was found, tested and solved thanks to Roberto Baena Gallé and
Boud Roukema.
This fixes bug #56724.

Until now we have followed the convention of using space characters before
comment lines in recepies, not tabs. This has been corrected in one case.

Until this commit, `fpack' and `funpack' were not installed by default
with the installation of CFITSIO. It is necessary to explicity do a
`make fpack' and `make funpack' to have them installed. With this
commit, these two programs have been added.
