I've been working on and off at trying to refactor the OBF code so that that list gets shorter. Some small progress has been made, but not a heck of a lot.
Tony provides one example of the type of required changes: apparently gcc4 makes a distinction between <> and "" for include files. This will require modifying the include directives throughout the FSW code. Jana notes that FSW uploads are limited to 1.3 MB and if every file is touched, such an upload my exceed this limit. That would require multiple uploads for one change, something we haven't had to do previously.
Once Tony has an initial list of required constituents, he can pass it on to JJ, Gregg, Kim for further investigation.
We'll check in with Tony in the Oct/Dec time frame to see if some time has freed up to allow him to move forward with creating a list of constituents required for OBF. If at that time, progress does not seem possible, we'll come up with another plan.
In speaking to Richard afterwards, he wonders if it is truly necessary to upload any FSW changes that come about for OBF support in GR?
