Most of the topics below up to Science Tools are an outgrowth of Core Week disucssions. See Heather's wrap up for status as of last Friday.
Reprocessing (Tom) He met with Tony and Karen to finalize bookkeeping for reprocessing. Karen will set up new db structures (two new tables, etc.) and make a new web page to create and edit entries in the new HISTORY-PROCESSING table. There will also be a new Pipeline object which will allow tasks to fill in the new HISTORY-RUNS table.
Skimmer (Heather) built (Linux) debug versions of ROOT 5.18c-gl1 and Skimmer v6r0p1 so we're prepared to track down problems. She suspects that a source of some of the anomalies seen may be incorrect handling of indexes when files are merged. (Tom) Has collected quite a menagerie of strange symptoms:
G4Propagator stuck (Tracy) Since the meeting this issue has been dealt with. See JIRA GEANT-12 for the full story.
GR futures (Heather) We'll be creating a couple of new GR tags in the next day or so. The following items will be included:
Science Tools : Jim suggests looking at this week's report.
Documentation: (Chuck) In addition to routine updates to the ISOC and LAT Ops websites, as well as to the workbook, there's now a new Science Analysis section that end-users should find particularly useful. In terms of organization, recent updates to the Data Access section has drawn heavily from the new Science Analysis section, and I'm now in the process of populating the Data Access section with help files corresponding to each of the main links on the top-level navbar. Ntuple links in the workbook have been changed to the latest tagged GlastRelease version (rather than HEAD) in order to avoid the numerous "page not found" problems that people were experiencing. In the Science Tools section, Analia alerted us to two fits files in the "Explore LAT Data" tutorial that were corrupted, and these files have been replaced. David Smith's "Pulsar Tools FAQ" pages in Confluence have also been linked in from the SciTools References—>Pulsar Tools navbar. And, we created a new tag; the workbook is now at v5r6 and the mirror site has been updated.
SCons (Navid) I have some small subset of GR packages compiling and running in SCons. I've asked Emmanuel to continue the porting of the requirements files to SConscript files while I work on removing our dependence on CMT environment variables. I have removed the use of some of the environment variables from about half the GR packages. I plan to finish that today and commit the changes and let the developers know. Once that's done I'll deal with the job options and the more complicated environment variables.
SCons Gui (Joanne) She's taken Navid's suggestion of using the Qt graphics package. It has good support for all three platforms of interest, more than adequate features for our needs, and good documentation. The first order of business will be to produce something looking more or less like MRvcmt. The central tabbed panel (to display output, CVS changelog, etc.), menu bar and status bar can be seen in this embryonic version as well as some steps towards package navigation, using Qt's built-in classes for file hierarchies. Unfortunately it does not provide hooks for some very nice features in MRvcmt/MRStudio nor ways to specialize for the file and directory structure we'll require for SCons, so she'll be writing some new classes for that. Next will be support for setting and maintaining various kinds of options. But to actually do anything useful the gui needs to be connected to code to do checkouts, builds, etc.; the kind of stuff Navid is already doing in the new Release Manager. Ideally the new gui will reuse that code. Finally, there is the question of a name for this beast. The front-runner currently is Glast Offline Gui (GoGui); suggestions are welcome.
