To-date imaging (e.g. wsclean), self-calibration (e.g. gaincal) and other things have been hard-coded into the
flint
codebase. When updating these throughout the rounds of self-calibration a dictionary with updated values would be obtained and splatted into the creation of the appropriateOptions
.This is pretty tiresome. If the
git
history is examined it would be pretty obvious how many times commits were made purely to change the image size, solution interval, or something trivial.This pull request introduces a template yaml file that is used to set the options that may or may not evolve as the pipeline runs. The idea is that a file (at the moment a yaml file) is parsed into a
Strategy
class, which is nothing more than a glorified name for a dictionary (but nice for type checking). Throughout the pipeline theStrategy

modeThe existing infrastructure to overload the hardcoded defaults of an
Option
type class is used as normal.
