Ten simple rules for the open development of scientific softwareTen simple rules for the open development of scientific softwarePosted Dec 29, 2012 19:13 UTC (Sat) by oever (subscriber, #987)In reply to: Ten simple rules for the open development of scientific software by oever Parent article: Ten simple rules for the open development of scientific software After writing that long comment, I completely forgot to mention CDE and Nixos. CDE uses ptrace to capture all files that are touched when running a program and places them in an archive that can be run on a different Linux machine. Hence, the software will run with the same library versions as when the original developer ran the software. The kernel and, I believe, libc will differ, but that is all. Nix is a packaging system that is cross-distribution and should give the same version and compilation flags for a particular library if the checksum that captures the dependencies is the same.

The rules are not about presentation fluff.
If use of a computational library produces different results from different versions that is either a fixed bug or a newly introduced bug ;-)
