Pin DynamicHMC and LogDensityProblems

[itsdfish]

We will need to pin DynamicHMC and LogDensityProblems while it is being revised. See Tamas's page for info.

Once I figure out how to do this, hopefully the docs will update.

Hi Chris,

(v1.3) pkg> ?pin
  pin pkg[=uuid] ...

  Pin packages to given versions, or the current version if no version is
  specified. A pinned package has its version fixed and will not be upgraded or
  downgraded. A pinned package has the symbol ⚲ next to its version in the status
  list.

  Examples

  pkg> pin Example
  pkg> pin [email protected]
  pkg> pin [email protected]

I just removed LogDensityProblems, upgraded DynamicHMC and reinstalled LogDenssity problems once I figured out what `LogDensityProblems = "^0.8.3" in the [Compat] section in Project.toml really meant.

My issue was that I had upgraded clip-03.jl in chapter 9 of StatisticalRethinking to used the new LogDensityProblems setup so to run and test that I do need LogDensityProblems v"0.9.0".

Thanks Rob. I added the constraints to the Compat section of the Project.toml file, but it still crashed. It looks like the constraints couldn't be mutually satisfied. Do you think that means I need to remove the line containing LogDensityProblems = "6fdf6af0-433a-55f7-b3ed-c6c6e0b8df7c"?

It is tricky. That line should be removed if you do ‘rm LogDensityProblems’ when MCMCBenchmarks is activated as project. I’m not on my laptop, so it is difficult to send better instructions. Should be home in about an hour.

Thanks Rob. I tried removing the line with rm LogDensityProblems, but that didn't work. Removing it manually didn't fix the error on Travis. Strangely, it works fine on my system with the change.

[goedman]

I did an update from the repo to my system and noted LogDensityProblems was missing from the [deps] section on Github. Added it back in.

Project.toml can't have a [compat] line for a package not in either [deps] or [extras].

[goedman]

The initial step now runs (no tests of course, but it concludes).

[goedman]

Doc step failed on a typo in the file name functions..md. Fixed that and resubmitted.

[itsdfish]

I found other double dots. I'm not sure how that happened. Strange. Well, I pushed those fixes. I wouldn't be surprised if there are more problems with the docs.

[itsdfish]

Thanks for your help Rob. It looks like everything is working now. I will finish up the documentation over the rest of the week.

Hi Chris,

Sounds great! Docs is a slow process of improvements over time ...

Just for future reference, in the case of StatisticalRethinking, which currently needs LogDensityProblems v"0.9.0", I start Julia with:

julia13 --project=~/.julia/dev/StatisticalRethinking/

It then runs Julia using the project's Project.toml/Manifest.toml.
