Current Issues

Using Python scripts to make up for CMT's deficiencies on Windows:
http://www-glast.slac.stanford.edu/software/core/minutes_02272007.htm
Purpose (as I understand it)
- Build VS2005 project files using python scripts rather than CMT, continue to use CMT for managing package lists
- Ran into trouble with packages building shareable libraries - due to issue with dumpbin (Tracy has a fix) - potentially will replace with python script or some other utility
Other Tools that are potentially impacted:
- MrStudio
- ReleaseManager
- Workbook documentation
Questions:
- Python scripts will be used exclusively on Windows while linux will continue to use CMT?
- Do more recent versions of CMT support VS2005 or are there any plans to do so? Does CMT-central have any wisdom to offer?
- Can the UW terminal server be set up to allow those who are interested to play with the new python scripts to see how it works and how easily it is used?
