Mac - we're strictly interested for ST for now - do we need to grab the externals from Eric?
Windows What we have now in SCons will fully compile our code. The additional directives to actually build the MSVC++ project files needs to be added into our setup. Navid notes that Tracy maintains the SCons produced project files are not useful in the debugger. Perhaps we can plan for a demo during core week. Before then, we can send around what we have to Tracy and Toby and start to get feedback.
Release Manager
Now uses Qt, and is up and running. There is no front end yet. This RM is transitioned to use the new MySQL maintained by SCS, not the one on glastlnx01. The table structures have changed. Richard asked if the new tables are documented? Not yet, but they will be by tomorrow. Using that information, Karen will hopefully be able to come up with a schedule to rework the RM web front-end.
Next up is the TagCollector rewrite, should be able to reuse some code from the version written a couple of months ago Navid was wondering if it should be a separate tool or part of GoGui. Richard wondered why is the TagCollector a separate web tool from the RM pages? Navid reminded us that the old TagCollectgor was located on glastlnx01, but started up some services on glastlnx02. There were too many levels of indirections, causing it to break very often. Now we are looking for a single application tha handles the CVS calls. Richard also asked whether adding tags would be a priviledged function? Yes. Reading would be open, but creating tags would require authenication. Richard asked if we should use Tom's scheme? Need to discuss that with Tony, concerning line mode authenication.
Concerning the rewrite of the web front end.. Richard asked if we could hand draw the desired look of the pages? Much of what exists can transfer over, though there are design changes from CMT to SCons. Navid offered to draw up he has in mind. Be helpful to get Tony (and Joanne) to take a look and offer suggestions. Providing a list of all the functions we want, such as the summary pages. A more complete list, will allow Karen to offer a more realistic sense for how to scope out the job. Of course, whatever we come up with, will be iterated on.
GoGui
Joanne pointed us to the "To Do" section of her page:http://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/SAS/GoGui+Status+and+Laundry+Listdebug requires SCons build something like CMT setup
wrapper scripts-like
brings up terminal window in context of a package
on linux needs something from Navid (over-ride directory for development)
on central linux - we'll want that certainly. Joanne has lots of infrastructure
stuff buildt
tag and rtag function (like MRvcmt)
external libs
static to qt so just an executable
install on central linux
