283960 (current)	2023-05-23	cif/9/ (saulius@tasmanijos-velnias) Estimating atom types and attached hydrogen counts for all range 9 COD entries. Atom types and hydrogen counts for about 170 entries were adjusted manually after running 'cif_guess_AMCSD_atom_types'. Commiting only those entries where declared and calculated summary formulae are matching exactly. To get the reduced formula, the Z value was estimated with 'cif_estimate_Z' after atom type adjustment. NB.: some files still do not contain the Z value, since the Z that was written into the files was estimated before the atom type correction was made, not after. The Z values will be recomputed once more after the atom types are checked in.	9001408.cif

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	9001408.cif
255	2008-03-10	Redepositing all AMCSD (9series) COD CIF files. This redeposition regenerates AMCSD (9 series) files, 10011 entries total, from the original source CIF file cifdata.cif found on the CD received from Armel. Most importantly, the truncated formulas seem to be corrected. The files are not folded, i.e. they have lines longer than 80 characters (conforming CIF 1.1 specification, but not CIF 1.0 specification), and are otherwise syntactically correct. Some missing coordinates were fixed manually, restoring them from the AMCSD site, and non-ASCII symbols were fixed automatically during filtering. After the redeposition, the cifs-with-errors.lst was regenerated using the following command: find -name \*.cif \ \| xargs -n1 -iI sh -c 'vcif -l 2048 I \|\| echo I' \ \| grep -vE 'CIF\|ERR' \ \| sort > cifs-with-errors.lst &	9001408.cif
