ScienceTools: (Jim) Following discussion and agreement with FSSC, made a spearte package to distribute irfs to public.
FSSC: (John) Closing in on parallel ingest; almost there.
Pass 7 plans: (Anders) It's going forward! (John) Is there a time estimate for Pass7? (Anders) There have been so many ..... but soon. It will be at least a month before you see any data. (John) Great, that should give enough time for some dataserver things in the works before the new data shows up.
Documentation: (Chuck) sends the following:
I'm continuing work on the generic pipeline and data catalog. As of yesterday, we've discontinued testing of Confluence 3.1 and are now testing 3.2. I'm in the process of moving everything over to the new version. No decision yet on when/if we're going to develop demonstration sites. In the meantime, I'll use EXO or Fermi for screen captures.
Pass 8: (Tracy) Luca Baldini is working on moments analysis, adding errors. I'm finishing up tree-based pattern recognition. Leon is working on including diagnostic information in overlays.
(Heather) Would a tag now be useful? (Tracy) Yes, an interim tag would make some things easier. Will need another one next week, however. (Heather) will go ahead then; a tag now would help certain Fred and Wired users as well.
Windows 7 (Heather) We are starting to get more user help requests on Windows 7 and we should try to find a way to test things on this newer version of Windows. SLAC windows-admin have been contacted and so far they have offered to upgrade Heather's next laptop to Windows 7. We're still hoping they could provide a test box instead. Tracy points out there are some older laptops lying around that may be used for this purpose.
New Gaudi (Heather) Gaudi upgrade is moving slowly, but Heather did update the converters in GlastSvc to adhere to new conventions. Currently she is working on rootmap generation and trying to get our older version of CMT to use the patterns Gaudi uses with CMT v20.
WIRED (Heather) The problem of last week has been fixed. There is a new patch to RootIo applied to GR HEAD and the Pass 7 branch.
SCons topics (Joanne) 1.3.0 seems to be ok on Windows; that is, with suitable changes to SConstruct, etc., she can build ScienceTools using the 2003 and 2008 compilers. There are some minor problems to be sorted out but they don't seem to be associated with SCons 1.3.0. For example, the fussier 2008 compiler didn't like some template-related code in evtbin. James Peachey will fix it, probably already has.
In the process of checking out 1.3.0 on Linux I discovered a problem with rootIrfLoader which also probably has nothing to do with 1.3.0. It arises becauses rootIrfLoader is a subpackage of irfs and it's a ROOT package; that is, must invoke rootcint to build it. rootcint is very fussy about current directory and where things are when it's invoked. I suspect our currently strategy is not flexible enough to handle this case.
The meeting was suspended because, according to EVO, "network instability" was responsible for burbling speakers. |
