Core Minutes 6/10/2003  

Present:   Joanne Bogart,  Toby Burnett, Xin Chen, Johann Cohen-Tanugi, Navid Golpayegani, Traudl Hansl-Kozanecka, Heather Kelly , Michael Kuss, Pat Nolan, Christophe Perrot, Sean Robinson, Leon Rochester, Tracy Usher, Karl Young

• Week-end run:  (Toby, Heather) All event-generating runs are complete; some still need to be "pruned", which is done by running a semi-official (not yet in CVS) macro.

  Some (at least) of the first output files had serious problems and were not readable. Using a later one with stand-alone ROOT, Toby saw a message claiming the file wasn't closed properly and additional "recover" messages.  Heather thinks the latter may have to do with the recent memory-saving fix of resetting object ids. Heather will take a look at a file Bill has been using on the UW Terminal Server.

  (Richard) The events were created with GlastRelease v3r0, but he then built the then-HEAD (on Friday evening) of AnalysisNtuple to make the tuples.

• Tag Collector: (Navid, Toby) Leon tried to use it and ran into a problem. Navid believes he has fixed this problem, but no one has tried it since. Toby suggests it would be useful to have a log file (who did what and when) associated with the Tag Collector. Navid will look into it.

• Windows versions:  (Toby) The move to VC 7.0 is complete. VC 6.0 binaries will no longer be supplied. In particular, there is no VC 6.0 version of Geant 5.1. However VC 7.1 is already looming. There are changes to project and project-like files which necessitated changes to VCMT; this has been done. Toby is concerned about binary incompatibility. We have been able to use 6.0 binaries of our external libraries with 7.0, but the same appears not to be true in general for 7.1. CLHEP, for example, required a rebuild. Joanne will check out the Xerces mailing list for information about Xerces and 7.1.

  Action Items 

• Add log file to Tag Collector (Navid) (6/10/03)
• Look into VC 7.1 builds of Xerces (Joanne) (6/10/03)
• Take a look at integrity of files produced by the week-end run (Heather) (6/10/03)
• Make Windows VCMT aware of link-time dependencies. (Toby) (5/13/03) done (well before 6/10/03)
• Reorganize RootAnalysis package so structure is more standard.(05/13/03)
• Write up, and perhaps present at a future meeting, hints on debugging. (02/18/03) Documents in progress. (02/18/03) Joanne will finish up the Linux document and link suitably.  Some combination of Toby and Tracy will provide something for Windows.
• All that remains of those items highlighted with a in minutes from 11 Feb is to make Tracy's CMTification of G4 build work on Linux as well as Windows. (05/06/03)
• Resolve calibration/timestamp issue. (11/20/02) Online folk have not yet thought about putting timestamp information into EM data, but, thanks to Richard's inquiry, may now do so. (2/25/03) We can probably live without a realistic system for EM, but we will put it on the agenda for the DC1 workshop.(5/6/03)
• We need a web page on the workings of the Release Manager (Alex) (5/6/03)
• Rebuild old G4 with current Linux compiler (Alex) (5/6/03)
