Cirpass Computer's Specific

Changes necessary for the 2K detector

IoA, Cambridge Unix site-specific

Users at the IoA who type "cirpass" from iraf, load the package from /home/cirpass/iraf/Scripts/Cirpass and the C code from /home/cirpass/C/. Modifications to the software should be made (and tested!) in those directories as the user cirpass. The software for public release is maintained in /home/cirpass/Release/. Any files changed as a result of software updates should be copied to the relevant subdirectory below Release and then the distribution tar ball recreated with:

cd /home/cirpass/Release
gtar -zcvf cirp_code_20030428.tar.gz cirpass
su optics
cd /home/optics/public_html/cirpass/Software/
cp /home/cirpass/Release/cirp_code_20030428.tar.gz .
rm cirp_soft.tar.gz
ln -s cirp_code_20030428.tar.gz cirp_soft.tar.gz
exit
where 20030428 is today's date. Care should be taken when copying files over to Release/! Only overwrite source iraf or C files. cirpass.cl and the makefile are very different in the Release/ directory from those used by the site, as they are the generalised forms. DO NOT overwrite cirpass.cl or the makefile in Release/. If new programs are written they should be edited into these files by hand.

Iraf Installation Instructions

Iraf was installed using the standard iraf documentation that is available from http://iraf.noao.edu, the X11iraf package was also installed to provide ximtool and xgterm's. The stsdas and tables packages were also installed by following the links from the main iraf site.

Gotchas!
