Having Travis make and deploy PDF #32

Closed drphilmarshall closed 7 years ago

drphilmarshall commented 7 years ago

I started this branch in response to #27, and to try to help out the CCL group. However, their repo is private, so I can't make travis do the work there. So, I'll use this branch to build our own note's PDF, instead. This will mean setting up travis etc. Note that I pre-merged PR #31 (new cls file) and PR #29 before starting work (here's hoping they pass code review soon!)

OK @kadrlica , I have hit a wall - travis is consistently refusing to allow latexmk to write to a file called .bib, and I can't figure out how to stop it. The latest travis report is here, and the exact error is as follows:

pdflatex: Not writing to .bib (openout_any = p).
! I can't write on file `.bib'.

I cannot edit the texmf.cnf file in travis's texlive installation because I don't have permission (even with sudo). The issue seems to be security: texmf.cnf contains the line openout_any = p, (for "paranoid"), which prevents latex from writing to unusually-named files, like .bib or .rhosts etc.

One possibility could be to fall back to vanilla pdflatex (which does not write to a .bib file), perhaps?

In other news, I made some other things better in this branch along the way, so it could be merged any time (although that will also close #29 and #31, because I merged both the updates and lsstdescnote.cls branches into this one :-))

I ran across this while installing aastex6.1.cls: http://journals.aas.org/authors/aastex/linux.html

It might solve your .bib problem.

Excellent, thanks @kadrlica ! That fixed it: PDF is now compiling successfully at travis :-) Now to figure out my GitHub API key...

drphilmarshall commented 7 years ago

Success! PDF is now deployed to the pdf branch at:

https://github.com/DarkEnergyScienceCollaboration/start_paper/tree/pdf/desc-0000-start_paper-intro.pdf

However, in future this should only be updated if the master branch is updated, so I've set up the travis file accordingly. (The existing PDF is a relic, from before I fixed this.) I think this PR is OK to be merged - and when we do, we'll see if the PDF gets updated! :-)
