-
Announcements: (Richard)
- Integration Readiness Review has been delayed a month (was to have been
today)
- Science Operations Center Review is tomorrow
- President of INFN is visiting SLAC, will be entertained by members of
GLAST (including Richard) on Wednesday
- Heather will be at SLAC Monday and Tuesday next week.
- Binary distribution: (Navid) No
significant change from last week: binary distribution of externals for Linux
is working; extension to handle all binaries is not difficult. Windows version
is waiting on RM Windows build.
- Gaudi binaries: (Toby, Richard) There
has been some question whether the proper binary distribution version of Gaudi
is available. Status is: it does exist for Linux and Navid's installer uses
it. There is no separate binary for Windows, but it is incorporated in
the full externals tarball for Windows.
-
Promotions: (Toby) There are many
package versions in LATEST only. Any reason not to promote them all?
Test programs for HepRepSvc and HepRepXml are ok now. (Riccardo) Problem was
tracked down by Anders and is now fixed.
-
ROOT header info: (David) Expects to
commit a first version by tomorrow.
-
User workbook: (Heather) Chuck is doing
a great job. He's worked on the "getting started" part (ssh and similar
matters) and has been documenting ROOT classes. Documentation for ntuple may
be next, ideally generated from or connected to source in CVS. She's hoping
for a partial unveiling some time this month.
Flight integration news for the week:
-
EngineeringModel: (Heather) It's clear we
won't have a final set of packages for August 4th. She will be polling
concerned parties to find out exactly what will be available and when.
- Cal Response Service: (Zach) The new
Cal Response Service is approximately on schedule. Expect a first release
mid-month, fully tested version by the end of the month. He has a header
file describing the interface and has determined how to get information he
needs from CalibSvc. Next step is to create a consistent (same validity
interval) set of calibration entries.
- Pipeline: (Richard for Dan) Since time
pressure has been relieved somewhat, Dan is taking the opportunity to clean up
some hastily-written code.
- CalibGenTkr: (Leon) Has had trouble
getting it to compile on Linux. Is there a difference in compiled ROOT on
Windows and Linux that could account for it? (Heather) doesn't think so.
(Leon) Need some way to get RM to build CalibGenTkr. (General) Probably
don't want a separate EngineeringModel LATEST since EM often needs old tags of
some packages. We could add CalibGenTkr (and similar packages) to
GlastRelease. Or it could just be added to the list of LATEST packages
independently, as is the case for detCheck.
- Calibration and timestamps: (Joanne)
Anyone using private algorithms to set time for CalibDataSvc is urged to use
the standard method, which is entirely internal to CalibSvc, instead. Latest
tag of CalibSvc can fetch timestamps from all data sources or (as has been the
case for a long time) use fake clock, depending on job option settings. See
CalibSvc mainpage. (Richard, Toby) The job options parameter for start
time entry is currently in units of seconds since Jan 1, 2001, could be a bit
awkward to use. Toby is working on a nicer alternative.
- GRITS: (Richard for mute Matt) Read
all about GRITS on its
wiki page.
