      Description

      The current settings in psfex will only turn on oversampling only if the seeing is < 0.5", even if you have configured it do oversampling. This needs to be changed so that everything is determined by the config parameters.

      We have also seen on HSC data that oversampling in general does not work well in psfex. We need to change the current configuration which does 2x oversampling to just use the native pixel scale.

            The unit test also fails on the HSC side (but unit test failures there aren't fatal to the build, so it seems no-one noticed).

            Assuming that the test fails in an expected way – ie, you and Bob Armstrong are happy that you can explain the failure and can modify the test case appropriately – I have no problem with this being merged. If you need further changes to the code, rather than just adjust the numbers in the test, by all means send it back to me for another look.

            I found the cause of the test failure — oversampling hadn't been disabled in the test.

                disable oversampling in test
                
                We believe that oversampling doesn't work well. Indeed, with
                oversampling turned off, we get better fits for the test image.

                remove unused and confusing line in test
                
                self.FWHM is unused, and its presence is confusing because there
                is also sigma1 and sigma2 which are used to set the PSF, and they
                have no relation to self.FWHM.

            Line 231 of testPsfexPsf.py is a comment which reads "Include oversampling in test". It immediately precedes the lines you've edited in a8046b3 to "disable oversampling in test". Please make these consistent!

            I note that the test passes if you simply use the default kernelSize and samplingSize rather than overriding them in the test case. Is the override actually necessary? Can you just remove it (and the comment) for simplicity?

            I'm such a doofus. I remember thinking that I could just remove those lines, but must have gotten side-tracked. They're gone now, the test passes, and I've merged to master.
