Changes¶

Version 0.2¶

Date: August 09, 2021

Second beta release of NeuroDataPub that includes in particular the following changes.

Update automatically the SSH config with an entry for the remote SSH server to configure the user login used by default by ssh. (See PR#25)

Add documentation page to give instructions for the remote data server setup. (See PR#28)
Update documentation for the creation of the conda environment and the installation of git-annex on Linux and MacOSX (See PR#23)

Replace old datalad.api.publish() with new datalad.api.push(). (See PR#22)

Note

datalad.api.publish() was not able to handle properly the publication of the special git-annex remote such that it was impossible to get the content of the annexed files.

Add conda/environment_macosx.yml, a conda environment file specific to MacOSX where git-annex is not included. (See PR#23)
Use content of README as long_description in setup.py for publication to PyPI. (See PR#26)

Please check the main release pull request PR#24.

Beta release which provides a first working prototype of NeuroDataPub.

Provide a commandline interface (CLI) to create and publish neuroimaging datasets to GitHub NCCR-SYNAPSY, with files annexed in a host institution, accessible via ssh.
Adopt a traits/traitsui model that extends the CLI with a graphical user interface, aka the NeuroDataPub Assistant, to improve its accessibility by non IT experts.
Provide a Conda environment.yml to support the installation of Python with all dependencies.
Provide a setup.py to make installation of the neurodatapub package easy with pip install.
Adopt CircleCI for continuous integration testing. CircleCI project page: https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/NCCR-SYNAPSY/neurodatapub
Use Codacy to support code reviews and monitor code quality over time. Codacy project page: https://app.codacy.com/gh/NCCR-SYNAPSY/neurodatapub/dashboard
