 * eliminate clutter in $FREESURFER_HOME ( for the installation ).
   * for instance, the distribution data after installation should be in `$FREESURFER_HOME/data`. GEMS, the newest FS package, already uses this. It's data is in `$FREESURFER_HOME/data/GEMS`

a grab-bag of notes on what we'd like to see in the ideal freesurfer source code environment, and runtime

  • newer respository, eg git
    • source only checkout which excludes all distribution data. For faster and thinner local builds.
  • cmake replacing autotools as the build enviro
  • one-stop-shopping build of all 3rd party packages --> like neurodebian

  • continued source code cleanup:
    • remove all #if 0 code and duplicated stuff
  • source code documentation
  • more low-level unit tests
  • memory structures changed to allow easier cpu (and gpu) parallelization (see rge notes)
  • complete replacement of recon-all with ????
  • evaluate necessity of 3rd-party packages, eg PetSc

  • eliminate clutter in $FREESURFER_HOME ( for the installation ).
    • for instance, the distribution data after installation should be in $FREESURFER_HOME/data. GEMS, the newest FS package, already uses this. It's data is in $FREESURFER_HOME/data/GEMS
