Finish getting HEAD building on RHEL5 and VC90 (January) High Priority

RHEL5 seems just about there, Joanne is working along with VC90

Get L1proc GlastRelease building on RHEL5 (January) High Priority

Must complete upgrade to new Gaudi to handle gcc4.1 by merging  in all modifications from P8, yet avoiding all P8 specific changes 

Heather (likely with help from Joanne)

Validate GR on RHEL5 and VC90/Win 7 and end support for RHEL4/VC71  (Jan/Feb)  High Priority

Joanne, Heather, Michael, Johann, Tracy, Leon, & M.E/Warren for L1proc

Complete system test upgrade to SCons  High Priority 

(ASAP - preferably allowing for cmt/scons while we are in transition)

Liz/Leon

Virtualization of GlastRelease - moderate-high

Joanne

Complete migration to Wired and (drop FRED?) - moderate-high

https://jira.slac.stanford.edu/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&pid=10630&status=1

Tony, Dima, Leon, Heather

Upgrade to MySQL 5 (end of Feb.) - moderate priority 

Arash should be handling the details, we should be prepared already for calibrations, Kim left some notes for CMT RM DBs.  

Michael & Joanne

Handle XML and geometry constants in SCons RM as done in CMT RM - moderate priority 

Joanne providing the details and Tom S doing the legwork or possibly Michael

Upgrade cfitsio for ST and GR when tip has been suitably updated by FSSC -  moderate priority

Tom G is waiting patiently for the cfitsio upgrade

Eric Winter handling tip modifications.  Heather to handle cfitsio upgrade, which should just require picking up the new cfitsio we already have available.

Sounds like we might be ready?

We have been stuck with an old version of cfitsio because some code, specifically some code in pulsar tools, requires an undocumented feature of that version which is explicitly not supported in newer versions, namely simultaneous access by more than one client of memory-resident files. Attempts to add this support to tip itself have so far been unsuccessful. It's clear that, at the very least, it would involve a substantial reworking of the package, so Eric took a different tack: he modified the pulsar code to use a disk file. This 2-line change appears to have done the trick. He has so far tested with SL5, 32- and 64-bit, and snow leopard.

Sweep through online workbook to determine updates/modifications needed. - moderate priority.  

Workbook will die if not kept up to date

Heather/Joanne/Jim for ST

Implement longer term plan to handle workbook or determine we're happy with status quo - low-moderate priority

We're dealing so far - especially thanks to the automated updates through Hudson.

Heather, Joanne, Jim, Richard, Tony, and anyone else who cares to provide some input

Move to the current ROOT release for GR and ST - low-moderate priority

Just to keep up to date, can be done anytime.

Heather

Upgrade GlastRelease to RHEL6 - low-moderate priority

We can likely go a year or so with RHEL5, but picking up RHEL6 may not be so hard and Johann is forging ahead with gcc 4.4
likely just requires a rebuild of existing externals, rather than full upgrades.
Johann, Joanne & Heather

Followed by validation on RHEL6

Michael, Johann, Heather, Joanne

Automate HEAD and Release builds of GR in SCons RM (anytime)   low priority

as we can trigger builds by hand, could be done now.

Tom S. 

Handle ChangeLog or release.notes diff in SCons RM as done in CMT RM (or something similar) - low priority

Michael & Karen

End CMT automated builds for all operating systems - low priority

Michael, requires changing some DB settings

Further consider virtualization of ScienceTools? low priority

Not clear how much desire there is for this, and we need the parameters to be set first.  Tom has spoken to Stephen Zimmer so perhaps there is more interest beyond Toby.

Tom S / Joanne
