(This page is a work in progress, which is why I haven't mentioned it yet... :-) )

This document provides README-level information about the MDA (Multi-Dimensional Array) package developed by Wolfgang Heidrich with contributions by members of the PSM Lab at UBC.
It should NOT contain information that would be better put in the MDA documentation itself...

To obtain your own working copy of MDA on a machine on which dept file servers are mounted, use the following command.

svn co file:///ubc/cs/research/imager/project/psm/SVNRepository/MDA

To obtain your own working copy of MDA on a machine with internet access on which dept file servers are NOT mounted, use the following command.

svn co svn+ssh://username@okanagan.cs.ubc.ca/ubc/cs/research/imager/project/psm/SVNRepository/MDA

To build MDA, cd to the MDA directory in which your version is downloaded, and run "tmk".

To build MDA documentation, cd to the MDA/Doc directory and run "tmk".

All MDA development should happen in your own working copy.  However, for reference, a copy of MDA exists at

/ubc/cs/research/imager/project/psm/MDA

This version should be considered read-only and can be updated and rebuilt as desired.  This version exists partly to provide a canonical place to obtain MDA documentation, at the following link.

---++ TODO

   * Add MDA to the list of packages available with the "use" command.
   * Run a cron job every night that does an "svn update" and "tmk" in the reference copy directories mentioned above.  (Optional.)  This job should auto-email the PSM group if it fails to help ensure that the core checked-in version is always buildable.
   * Should MDA documentation exist in the imager tech report web directory so it can be linked to from here?
   * List other proposed MDA development efforts here...

---++ Raison d'être

I put this document together to assemble some meta-information about MDA.  As people enter and leave the lab, this document should provide the necessary background information about what MDA is and how to use it.  It also provides a point of first contact to make it easy to get to the MDA documentation pages, or at least it will when I (or someone) gets these documentation links working.
