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.
