Burning Issues
External Libraries
- We're falling behind in versions in most of our external libraries. Their sources are disappearing. They are no longer supported on newer platforms (RHEL4, Macs, etc..). Examples:
- fftw (no longer has source available, doesn't compile on intel mac with gcc4)
- gaudi (no longer has source available, requires minor source changes to work on rhel4)
Unit test Failures
- we have a handful of packages in GR and (I think) one in ST whose unit tests that routinely fail or enter infinite loops.
- perhaps there should be a review of what the tests are testing (if anything)
"Pointer" Skims
- Eric Charles wrote a scheme to point to events in other files. This could be a good way to handle interleaved events and also take some of the pain out of opening N Root files in lock step. Could also come in handy for listing events to use for calibrations.
