AFNI out of date in distributed version, and maybe its build is broken?

[mrneont]

Hi-

A user pinged us about the AFNI version distributed as part of Neurodocker seeming quite out of date (current version is: 25.0.06).

When we looked around the GitHub pages here, it seems like the workflow that builds AFNI might be broken:
https://github.com/ReproNim/neurodocker/actions/workflows/afni.yml
and like here for Ubuntu:
https://github.com/ReproNim/neurodocker/actions/runs/13103911587/job/36555703560

I'm not sure what exactly is broken there---and also note that we do have Ubuntu-specific binaries, rather than using the openmp_64 version. Build instructions and dependencies for each OS are here:
https://afni.nimh.nih.gov/pub/dist/doc/htmldoc/background_install/install_instructs/index.html
including Ubuntu, Fedora, Rocky, Red Hat, CentOS and macOS (various chip configs), as well as Windows via WSL.

There is also an available AFNI docker container that should stay in sync with our latest builds:
https://hub.docker.com/r/afni/afni_dev_base/tags

Please let us know if there is something we can do to help with this. It would be great if users could have access to the more modern code versions.

thanks,
pt

thanks @mrneont for reporting this. neurodocker needs a bit of tlc . there is a specific issue that i need to address with our github workflows before other changes can be made. that may be the thing that's broken. there are two tests failing, but haven't had the time.

Hi, @satra : Thanks for pinging back on this. We certainly know the pains of GitHub workflow maintenance.
