Mac - AFS token issue still a problem. Unix-admins have sent details to Navid. The long and short of it is that we will continue to generate Mac builds by hand.
As we discussed last week, it would be nice to grab the attention of developers when there are SCons failures. The automated build failure notifications have not done the trick. We discussed last week the possibility of flagging SCons failures in the current RM pages. Navid has checked into it, and it is not feasible. Alternatively, he is looking at flagging CMT failures in the SCons RM.
ST Builds
New facilities tag updates setting of environment variables to address case of TIMING_DIR. If user has already set TIMING_DIR, that value is used, rather than setting it at runtime. Tag has not yet been tested, due to the above mentioned external.scons bug. Once facilities has been tested, Navid will run it by James Peachey to look over. Then he'll pursue getting it into ST (and GR). This should fix a number of failing unit tests.

Navid is in email discussion with Tony concerning the new web based installer.
RM front end
Joanne sent some comments to Karen, who agreed toi look at making modifications later in the week. In particular, Joanne asked about the making the output for test programs
if SCons RM can look at CMT RM and modify its tables to set the appropriate flags
Windows and commonRootData and rootcint
VC9 send the output
set
CHSN will notify B about upcmong update end of May
rebuilt fxRuby
still has teh same error
heprepcorba package responsible for launching fred, when not passing fred to ior file
if not pass it the ior file, FRED launches
v0r99 and v0r99a
question this summer get rid of rh9 rhel3 machines - if going to be upgrading external librariesmore accessible, by providing output on a per-package basis.
Windows support
Joanne is grabbling with trouble with rootcint and the commonRootData package, both within SCons, and at the command line. Heather can execute the same command on her laptop without errors. Joanne requests a copy of Heather's env to see if any differences are noted. Heather will install VC9 on a box like glast05 (after getting Tony's permission), so we have an independent playground.
CHS
Bryson will be leaving by the end of May. We need to obtain some closure on outstanding CHS errors. Navid will notify Bryson (and Jim P) about upcoming updates to CHS, and offer to make the commits, or have Bryson/Jim do it themselves.
Fred and Fox
Emmanuel has rebuilt fxRuby, the same error with Fred v0r100 and rhel4 persists. Emmanuel tried withholding the ior file from HepRepCorba, and in that case Fred does launch.
Heather asked if Emmanuel has tried out Fred v0r99 or v0r99a?? a version of Fred that Joanne had modified some time ago to make things work on rhel4. Joanne notes that she likely still has the binaries and will provide them to Emmanuel if he wants to try them out.
