Greetings, all.
I've got PRM compiling, so those of you who were waiting on it can now
go ahead. There's a prm_par.h also, but see below.
It's not complete, however, because I'm having C difficulties writing a
prm-vs-hds test. That aims to test whether the values in prm_par.h
match those which HDS itself discovers. I'll sort that out tomorrow.
I'll also put a mention of prm_par.h into the documentation.
Also (and unrelated), I've extended macro STAR_DECLARE_DEPENDENCIES to
include `test' dependencies (since the HDS test depends on PRM, even
though use of HDS doesn't), and added a bit more here and there in
SSN/78 -- see the commit notes for details.
One of the things I added was the advice that you add _all_ the sources
when adding a library to CVS, _including_ the mk and makefile. Then
tag this with <component>-initial-import, and only then remove from the
repository mk and makefile and similar. This is following Tim's
excellent practice when he added nbs -- I didn't think to do this when
I added the other infrastructure libraries. Does that tag name make
adequate sense, by the way?
By the way also, after I've finished with the PRM test, I expect to
spend a bit of time with autoastrom, autoconfing it properly. This is
because Peter discovered a couple of autoastrom bugs when he was
producing pretty pictures of Gaia's autoastrom support; and also
because I've had a user running into nasty difficulties building it,
which can probably be most efficiently addressed by releasing a version
which is properly autoconfed. I am now accustomed to the dismally
pessimistic expectation that that'll take longer than I anticipate.
See you,
Norman
