General Items

We have Tracy today and Friday.  Jim Chiang, Toby, and possibly Eric Winter will be available Monday through Wednesday.

...

  • Need to determine when we can shut down the ST CMT Build
  • Talk to Warren about ft2Util to make sure he can continue builds without a CMT version of ST
  • Heather wondered if there's anything required for ASP and RSP? 
  • Jim C has test ASP, and is waiting to try things out in production.  Tom G reports he has been using the SCons version of ST since last summer in the pipeline, there are no issues associated with RSP at this point.
  •  

CHS

  • Jim Panetta has given the green light for us to shut down the CHS CMT builds at will.  Will do so when we shut down ST CMT builds.

GR

  • Joanne continues to have trouble linking ldfReader on Windows due to declspec errors.  She will take advantage of Heather and Tom's presence.  (In fact this is now already fixed by including the _WIN32_LDF_STATIC define)

Tag Collecting and Triggering builds post-CMT

  • Joanne has set up scheme using a file similar to CMT requirements that lists the packages.  Joanne needs to complete her testing using a fake container.  Tag collecting will be done by hand rather than using the RMViewer interface for now - that suits Jim and Heather just fine.

RMII Web Page

  • Tom G asked if we have a link to RMII on the glast-ground page.
  • We will have a chat with Karen when Jim is in town to discuss outstanding updates to the RM II web pages. 
  • Tom S was formally introduced to Karen, and we hope that this week provides an opportunity for him to explain the DB content to Karen so she can display more summary information about the builds further up the food chain in the pages.

...

  • Geant4 upgrade held off until an issue with double deletions at the end of the GR jobs is sorted out.  (This sounds very familiar!)
    • Francesco is working on verification.
    • Tracy would like to just upgrade at GR HEAD to promote wider testing
  • Leon is working on updating the geometry
    • He suggests creating a new directory separate from the old geometry.
    • The new geometry is married to the updated alignment in the calibrations.  The current plan is to introduce a new flavor in the calibrations.
  • Anders also asked if this was a good moment to drop use of the OktoberFest calibration and move to the flight version.
    • Leon responded that there is very little use of the calibration in MC, for example TKR likely only worries about dead strips.  Leon also wondered about introducing a new flavor for MC.

Event Display discussion set for 3 PM Friday with Tony

  • To address concerns about our ever growing list of event displays, support, and speed issues on Windows.
  • Tony requests of list of areas to address and then determine the best way to proceed.

Pass 7

  • Tom reports that the reprocessing work continues.  New xrootd issues have been revealed.
  • Tom asks about the possibility of pipeline interface changes to provide more flexibility.  Tony, Tom and Dan will likely have a discussion soon to see what can be done.

L1Proc

  • Johann reports he has a new GCRCalib tag.  Anders wonders how the update was implemented to use the FSW version of the variables.  Further testing is required and then there will be a new L1proc tag.
  • Heather asked about plans to upgrade L1proc from the v15r47 branch.  Anders responded that after Pass 7 reprocessing, there will likely be a move.

Workbook

  • Chuck and Heather have already started to discuss Chuck's efforts to migrate from CMT in the workbook.
  • Externals listing for ST and GR versions is out of date.  We're not aware that anyone uses this page any more.  We'll send an email out to the general software list to see if anyone really desires to see this page continue.
