how to pull from pubdb

Pulling objects from pubdb requires downloading two files PANDA-Papers-json.pl.json and PANDA-Presentations-json.pl.json, rerun the data process scripts, and then make a pull request against master.

1. create a branch "pubdb" or use the existing branch if it is still there

2. Download the files and rename them

   • https://staff.caida.org/~macat/cgi-bin/publicationsdb/current/editing/PANDA-Papers-json.pl -> data/PANDA-Papers-json.pl.json
   • https://staff.caida.org/~macat/cgi-bin/publicationsdb/current/editing/PANDA-Presentations-json.pl -> data/PANDA-Presentations-json.pl.json

3. run '''make''' from the repo root directory .

   # You will need to have b4 install in python3.  You can do this using virtualenv
   virtualenv env
   source env/bin/activate
   pip3 install bs4

   # If you haven't activated virtualenv yet
   # You need only do this once per shell
   source env/bin/activate
   
   make

4. if there aren't any messages, create a pull request against master
