@pmundt thank you very much for that information. I am about to start writing another JOSS paper and will have a chance to test it and update this gist.

@steven-murray thank you very much for your work as well!
@rheiland thanks for your note. You made me realize this makefile should check the versions of things too.

@mhucka Note that the current version (with the aforementioned fixes applied) is unable to generate citations properly, I'm not sure if this was always a limitation or just something that's been broken by updates in the whedon latex template. I'll see if I can figure out what's going wrong, but have limited time to hunt this down at the moment.

Update for anyone who comes across this: I put a newer version of this Makefile in a separate gist at https://gist.github.com/mhucka/c0b82778417f38f7ae6ee7d051cec90a The new version incorporates changes from @steven-murray above and hopefully fixes a few issues like the one noted by @pmundt.

Update 2022-03-29: Discovered JOSS has changed to a different scheme for generating papers, and no longer uses Whedon. The updated makefile in the new gist doesn't account for that. I'm deleting the gist to avoid confusion.
