[Octopus-devel] Screenshots, demo and possible trunk destabilization

[Axel Thimm]

Hi,

I've uploaded some screenshots of densities of Na2 and benzene. Next
week Miguel will report on octopus in the nanoquanta meeting and this
will include a 5-10 minutes GUI demo - the Na2/benzene screenshots are
from the preparation of this demo. Please suggest anything that makes
sense to add to the demo of 3D models. Miguel and I will also add
SiH4.

(The mediawiki install seems to have troubles, some of the screenshots
were considered as text/plain and mediawiki complained about malicious
code, I had to trun off mime checking which is documented as a
security hazard - as long as only registered accounts have upload
rights the issue is contained. I also had to chown the images dir to
allow uploads, it was root:root)

The GUI parts to run these 3D parts are quite demanding on software
dependencies. One needs at least netcdf 3.6.2, Numeric 23.8,
ScientificPython, vtk and vtk-python. Possibly also gtkglarea. I have
put all missing bits together for RHEL and FC in ATrpms.

I'll be commiting some larger changes to the trunk that may break
it. Since we have a stable branch this shouldn't be an issue, I
hope. Most breakage will occur at python level anyway, but there are
some parts that are changed in netcdf detection that may affect other
parts.

(Side note: Looks like some fortran compilers automatically check
/usr/include for use statements and others need it explicitly)
