The file
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/projects/poplog/V16/getpoplog.sh
needs testers/critics.
Using Waldek's fixed download/install instructions, it fetches unpacks and
sets up the various packages to produce a new poplog installation, as
previously, and then also downloads this first draft file of instructions
for new users:
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/projects/poplog/V16/INSTRUCTIONS.txt
Suggestions for improvement welcome.
Size of resulting poplog_base directory (without motif) is now approx 101MB
(i.e. excluding all the downloaded tar files that can be discarded after
installation -- likewise installation records in poplog_base.)
I assume this will remain the standard way to install a complete poplog V16
system until there's a download script for non-github users to get the
latest github component. Then getpoplog.sh will have to modifed to fetch
and install that and then fetch and install the packages directory.
(I *think* David Young will later provide updated versions of the vision
and neural packages, to run in 64bit poplog.)
A script to *update* an existing installation will also be needed later.
Possibly two scripts:
-- Get and install the latest core poplog from github
-- Get and insteall the latest version of the packages directory.
(much easier?)
I may circulate more thoughts on how to combine everything later.
