Including LSST documents like DPDD in `lsstdesc.bib`? #72

Closed rbiswas4 closed 6 years ago

rbiswas4 commented 6 years ago

I am trying to include references to the DPDD and notice that it is not already in lsstdesc.bib. Obviously, I can just keep these in main.bib but I was wondering if we should be putting them in lsstdesc.bib for future use.

This actually relates to desc-tex, since lsstdesc.bib now resides there.

I don't know what the DPDD is, but if it's a published DESC document then by all means it should be added to lsstdesc.bib. There is no ongoing effort to keep the bib up to date currently; we're dependent on pull requests from users. (Eventually, it may be updated automatically from a database, but we're not there yet.)

DPDD is the Project's Data Products Definition Document, a very useful thing to be able to cite. It lives at http://ls.st/LSE-163 It might be better in an lsst.bib file though - does the Project maintain such a thing? Worth looking for this first, before making our own.

Thanks @abmantz : I did not realize this was in desc_tex, and I am guessing that is because I followed the instructions of deploying as a zip file, and behind the scenes, this must have downloaded desc_tex components. Following your point I will take the discussion to desc_tex and close this issue.

Re-opening. Let's submodule lsst-texmf, which contains LSST Project bib files, in the same way as we handle desc-tex.

abmantz commented 6 years ago

I've just implemented this in commit 54c88f6 to deploy. make lsst-texmf will download the whole named repo, including bib files, and the Makefile instructs latex to look for bib files in the right place. Unlike desc-tex, I didn't make cloning of lsst-texmf automatic - this could be changed, but it's annoyingly big (>25MB).
