Re. the atlases distributed in AFNI (relevant for @liamtimms):
- we have simplified the packaging of these, so that the single tarball "atlases_current.tgz" from https://afni.nimh.nih.gov/pub/dist/atlases/ should be all that is needed. Note that untarring that file should not splash files around the PWD, either, anymore... yikes.
Re. this comment "REALLY wish they'd make this easier to find...: link to other atlas files..." (relevant for @keiichiiownsu1 and @kcdah):
- We have added a new webpage to the main documentation (https://afni.nimh.nih.gov/pub/dist/doc/htmldoc/template_atlas/other_tas.html), listing+linking all the templates and atlases (it is under the "Templates & Atlases" section, as well as under the "Non-human processing" one, because both human and non-human datasets are contained there). We do welcome helpful suggestions---again, we have a higher chance of seeing them on the project github page.

AFNI releases get tagged with a frequency approaching individual git-commits (sometimes multiple times in one day). I update this package semi-regularly to keep it current but do not update it for every single AFNI release tag to avoid excessive burden on users. Please do not flag this package "out-of-date" without some technical justification. If the constant bleeding edge is required for your use case, I recommend using a
-git
package or using this PKGBUILD as a base and updating to each release tag yourself.ptaylor.afni commented on 2022-01-21 15:02 (UTC)
@keiichiiownsu12 :
Sure, workflow for reporting ArchLinux-AFNI issues could certainly go in that order (i.e., start this forum). I can also be pinged, too, though packaging questions will likely have to be dealt with by smarter folks...
Re. packaging: All the datasets for the distribution should just be in one places now (https://afni.nimh.nih.gov/pub/dist/atlases/atlases_current.tgz), whether you unpack+distribute it (which is what we do with the main distributions) or you ask people to get it separately. So, whatever you decide, hopefully it is simpler now.
