Attendees: Joanne Bogart, Richard Dubois, Navid Gopayegani, Heather Kelly, Tracy Usher
RM Status
RMViewer 1.0RC1, which includes a live tag collector, is consider the first release. We would of course appreciate more user trials and suggestions. There will be further tweaks for the uesr interface and performance. Later for version 2, new features to control RM activity such as triggering and deleting builds, will be added.
Richard asked about documentation in the workbook. There is a start in Confluence based on a much older version of RMViewer. So far, what we've agreed to is providing doc in Confluence while applications such as RMViewer remain fluid. This will limit Chuck's headaches, and allow him to point at the Confluence page from the workbook.
Navid continues to work on the wrapper scripts on Windows to address fully handling the supercede capability. Once that is complete, he can get back to testing out the code for developer releases.
ST Binary Releases
Heather asked about the status of releases that would satisfy the likes of David Landriu, which includes gtpython. Navid feels this is already in place. The only small trouble is that there is no release that includes a c-shell setup script as well as bash. However, Navid has made the necessary changes in CVS to include c-shell scripts.
Concerning PYTHONPATH and Chuck's attempts with setting up pyLike. It remained unclear whether there were any additional troubles that were unrelated to the use of the astrotools setup scripts. PYTHONPATH does not include $ROOTSYS/lib - so that bit is taken care of.
New PyFits
There is a newer release of PyFits 2.1.1, which includes a bug fix requested by David Landriu. Pending Kim's completion of the installation of python 2.5.1-gl1 on RHEL5-64, we'll consider creating a -gl2, which includes pyfits 2.1.1 as well as any other updates to the extensions we support (numpy,4SuiteXML,pyfits)
ROOT and Mac
ROOT v5.20.00-gl5 was rebuilt on Mac and seems to have fixed the problem with determining dependencies between the ROOT libs. Richard had heard from Julie that she tried it, and then realized she had to rebuild, which was unsucessful. Navid asked for a copy of her error messages, which Richard believed he had on ICQ.
Windows
No news as far as getting users to try it out. Toby is now busy. Tracy is waiting for a version of GR before testing. And Leon is likely busy with other things.
GlastRelease
Joanne reports there are 30 or so packages remaining that are in need of SConscript files. She is currently working on G4HadronSim, and has received Tracy's blessing for her updates. To move along we need a few things:
Reorganized OBF - We seem to be agreed that we can't take OBF as is from FSW, and that a strict use of one-level include/lib directories will not work either. Instead, we'll likely settle on a hybrid, where most of the files are stored in one-level, but where there are conflicts we will have to provide a deeper directory structure. Joanne is taking this on.
Build of new Gaudi for VC90 as well as all OSes. Heather has started, needs to get back to it.
Build of G4 (possibly a later version) for VC90. Tracy agreed to take a peek.
