Minutes

Release Manager Back End

Windows build recently stopped compilation step.  Navid will investigate.

Mac

Some old troubles that were fixed are rearing their ugly heads again:

• The *.in and *.i files are no longer in synch.
• Some global variables associated with wcslib in astro are no longer initialized.  This was fixed in the past, and Navid is not sure what has changed.  He will contact the developers and suggest the fix, and offer to implement it.
• A new issue has appeared with ROOT, where there are many warnings stating items are defined in multiple libraries.  This is in ROOT 5.18c-gl1, which is likely the same version we have been using for some time.  Navid will revert to a copy he built some time ago.  This issue sounds similar to a problem Heather has seen on the Mac with the 5.20 build, where at the ROOT command line, there are many warnings about classes already being defined.
• Navid has asked Emmanuel to recompile python with an additional compilation flag.
• No word on LSF progress from unix-admins, Richard and Navid will inquire.

Navid has suggested that we start up automatic notifications for SCons build failures.  This may take a couple of days to implement.

u35 has been reformatted.  We agreed that for now, only the SCons builds will be brought over to u35, and we'll leave the CMT builds on u30.

Heather asked about when FSW will dump RH9/RHEL3.  Richard suggested contacting Tony Waite directly.

Release Manager Front End

No news to report

RM To Do

• ematil notification
• developer installer
• tag collector
• For now we could continue to allow CMT to handle:
  doxygen generation
  generation of geometry and calibration files

Windows Support

SCons and Windows - a Log

SCons and Windows To Do

CHS

Need to poke Bryson about who is taking over the package.

FRED

 Emmanuel got it to work on rh9 and rhel4 32 bit machines by specifying fox 1.4.34 in ld_library_path
new version of fox 1.4.34  1.4.34-gl1 to distinguish the version that was already availalble
Joanne suggests testing Fred with Gleam.

Tracy brought up the desire to use Wired.  Perhaps if there are questions about Fred's ability to run on some platforms, we need to get Wired fully going sooner rather than later.  Heather will contact Tony about what is left on the to do list.  It may primarily be the need to access merit.

Emmanuel will contact Riccardo to ask about Mac and 64 bit support.
