| 282068 (current) | 2023-03-26 | cod/ (saulius@tasmanijos-velnias) Adding the '_cod_related_entry_...' loop to those COD AMCSD entries that lacked it, and adding the related AMCSD database ID to this loop. |

| 282053 | 2023-03-24 | cod/ (saulius@tasmanijos-velnias) Updating the existing COD records from the recent AMCSD downloads: - Adding AMCSD IDs to those COD records that exacly matched the AMCSD structures (comparing unit cells, space groups, coordinates and measurement conditions) but did not yet have the AMCSD ID; - Adding new mineral names, compound sources, measurement conditions (when those were missing) and other informations from the AMCSD CIFs. |

| 5310 | 2011-01-02 | cif/ Running cif_fix_enum with the core CIF dictionary on COD ranges 2, 8 and 9. Range 9 remained unchanged, and in ranges 2 and 8 there were 17309 modified files, most changes were fixes enumerator case. |

| 858 | 2009-11-18 | cod/cif/ Changing all _chemical_formula_sum values, were necessary, to conform IUCr recommended syntax and sorting order. After this operation, it will be easier to search for structures using the _chemical_formula_sum values. Only those files and thos lines that really needed to be changed were changed; otehrwise the CIFs were not reformatted. The procedure was as follows: first, all files were passed through a 'cif_filter --parse-formula-sum' command, and the lines containing _cif_formula_sum matching tags were extracted. The extracted tags were "spliced" into the CIF files using the ./bin/{un,}grepciftag commands and awk to filter out old tags and add new tags in their place; the replacement was only done if the new tags contained "_cod_" tags ('grep -q _cod_ tmp-$$'), indicating that cif_filter has altered the formula, or the original file did not contain the _chemical_formula_sum tag ('! grep -q _chemical_formula_sum X'), indicating that cif_filter has guessed the chemical_formula_sum from the file (which should not have happened, actually). If the file was different, disregarding spaces, from the original one ('if ! diff -wb X tmp2-$$'), the original was replaced by the new file, to be committed to the repository. The full command for this step was: ( \ set -x; \ find ? -name \*.cif \ | xargs -n1 -iX \ sh -c 'cif_filter --parse-formula-sum X \ | ./bin/grepciftag _chemical_formula_sum > tmp-$$; \ if grep -q _cod_ tmp-$$ || ! grep -q _chemical_formula_sum X; \ then \ awk "/^#/,/_chemical_formula_sum/{print} /_chemical_formula_sum/{exit}" X \ | ./bin/ungrepciftag _chemical_formula_sum > tmp2-$$; \ cat tmp-$$ >> tmp2-$$; \ awk "/_chemical_formula_sum/,/\$eof/" X \ | ./bin/ungrepciftag _chemical_formula_sum >> tmp2-$$; \ if ! diff -wb X tmp2-$$; \ then \ mv -fv tmp2-$$ X; \ fi; \ fi; \ rm -f tmp-$$ tmp2-$$' \ ) >& sort-chemical-formulae-2009.11.16.log Next, the files were searched that differ from their originals only by the order of CIF tags: svn st \ | awk '/^M/{print $NF}' \ | sort | xargs -n1 -iX \ bash -c 'if diff -q <(svn cat X|sort) <(sort X) >& /dev/null; \ then echo X; \ fi' \ >& only-reordered.lst These files, after manual inspection ('cat only-reordered.lst | xargs svn diff | less'), were reverted to the originals: cat only-reordered.lst | xargs svn revert Finally, a syntax check was performed using 'vcif': svn st | awk '/^M/{print $NF}' \ | sort | xargs -n1 -iX \ sh -c 'echo -n X"\r"; vcif -l 2048 X || { echo == X == ; echo X >&2; }' \ 2> vcif-check-2009.11.18.err A check on the whole COD archive showed the same files as recorded in vcif-check-2009.11.18.err: find ? -name \*.cif \ | sort \ | xargs -n1 -iX \ sh -c 'echo -n X"\r"; \ vcif -l 2048 X || { echo == X == ; echo X >&2; }' \ 2> vcif-all-check-`-date`.err diff vcif-check-2009.11.18.err vcif-all-check-2009.11.18.err Since no differences were detected in between vcif-check-2009.11.18.err and vcif-all-check-2009.11.18.err, the latter was deleted and is not committed. The check reveled two broken files, 2/2000267.cif and 2/2001000.cif; these were corrected manually. Afther this, one more 'vcif' check showed no syntax errors, and the changes are committed into the COD repository. 19798 files have modifications in this commit, according to svn st | grep '^M' | wc -l |

| 853 | 2009-11-16 | cif/ Reconstructing spacegroup designators from the symmetry operators were possible. The comands used can be found in the log file reformat-spacegroups-2009.11.14.log committed with the current revision. Only lines that contained spacegroup designators were changed, and all files pass vcif test after the conversion. |
