New way of dealing with Cobaya external packages #7
Description
Hi @HTJense
We are updating the way Cobaya deals with external likelihoods. In the new implementation we will keep a more detailed list that can be programmatically used to have Cobaya install external likelihoods just with a mention by name (currently implemented but not released), have the external likelihoods appear in the drop-down boxes of the cosmo-generator (WIP), and hopefully other improvements (suggestions welcomed). The current WIP package is https://github.com/CobayaSampler/cobaya_cosmo
This also involves renaming some likelihoods, which in your case would mean calling it from Cobaya as cmb. wmap_v5, if you agree. With this development it will also be possible to install it with cobaya simply as cobaya-install cmb. wmap_v5, with no additional input.
To do this, we need a one-sentence description of the likelihood to appear in the new documentation. I have added a perliminary one at https://github.com/CobayaSampler/cobaya_cosmo/blob/main/cobaya_cosmo/external/external_list.py . Please let me know if you agree, and otherwise feel free to either open a PR or to answer here.
Thanks!
