Greetings,
I have managed to complete a successful run with the full_analysis.py script
and find nicely improved results compared to the standard fast model-free
analysis. I really appreciated the help in troubleshooting and debugging
along the way.
It's good to hear that the results are improved (I'd be a little
worried if it was the other way around). As for fixing the problems
you encountered, that's all part of the job and many other users will
benefit from these fixes. And thank you for your detailed bug reports
and help for getting these bugs caught in the relax test suite - that
really helped in quickly finding and fixing the problem.
I did have a question about this newest release of the program. In one of
my initial inquiries, it was recommended that I implement the latest build
of relax using subversion. I am assuming that more builds for this newest
release will be applied using this method. However, if I apply downloaded
builds with the new program in its first days, do I risk reverting to some
of the older code? Basically, should I wait a bit to download any new
builds through subversion?
Well the subversion copy of the code, assuming you update with 'svn
up', is the most bleeding edge. So if you use say relax-1.3.3 or the
latest version (1.3.3 is the latest as of this post), you will be
reverting to older code. But that may not be such a bad thing.
Although the bleeding edge code has more features, the code may at
times not be stable or may be buggy. The 1.3 line code has
significantly stabilised now so it can be used for most purposes, and
most of the destabilising development occurs in separate branches now.
The purpose of running this repository code rather than using the
releases is that you instantly get the bug fixes the relax developers
make, the new sample scripts, etc. Therefore the choice of which to
use depends on the importance of the bug fixes and features not yet
released versus it stability of the code.
Regards,
Edward
