Contrib

Downloading Contrib

Releases are currently available at sourceforge, though those developing libraries for ATS contrib should use the github repository.

Setting up for using Contrib

An example of how to set up environment variables for ATS-contrib (alongside ATS):

export POSTIATS=${HOME}/research/Postiats/git
export POSTIATS_contrib=${HOME}/research/Postiats-contrib/git

######

export PATSHOME=${POSTIATS}
export PATSHOMERELOC=${POSTIATS_contrib}

Using ATS Contrib

It may be the case that you want to contribute to an existing package, or create a new package that will gradually be curated to be in the main contrib directory. User codes are generally put in a separate subdirectory of ATS contrib. For instance, there is a user directory contrib/libats-/bbarker/OpenMP for OpenMP, and a curated version of OpenMP in contrib/OpenMP.

In order to switch between using these various packages, atspkgreloc is a useful tool that may automate the process. It can additionally be used with other repositories or forms of code storage.
