The GR tag is done for LPM. Systests have been run and deemed ok. Franz is still testing the interacting alphas but I think he's almost done, and Tracy is ready for systests on overlay
A similar problem comes up in the command-line skimmer. It may or may not be related.
(Tracy) will be looking into trying this all out on Linux in the next day or so, preferably after a GlastRelease version has been made with all the right tags.
Diffuse response: (Richard) From C&A meeting: new IRFs should be available in a couple weeks (assuming overlay code is about ready to go) and new diffuse response model at the end of the month. Reprocessing will wait for both.
ScienceTools: No one was present at the meeting to make a report, but you can read it yourself.
FSSC Report: (Eric W.) Continuing exhaustive testing of their version of v9r8p2. Official distribution is targeted for February.
Documentation: (Chuck) sends this summary:
Work is continuing on the Data Access Help files. I've recently completed pages for the Download Manager (both the GUI and Line Mode implementations) as well as the History page. I still haven't been able to meet with Seth to get his inputs for expanding the introductory section for the Astro Server.
Next up is the WIRED Event Display, which needs to be updated and expanded. And ... The deadline for the last issue of the newsletter for 2008 is also approaching.
RHEL5 and f2c From Navid's recent email:
It seems like libg2c is being discontinued. I noticed this first last week when I noticed rhel5 no longer has it. Talking to the unix admin folks, it seems that g77 is no longer being ported beyond gcc3. libg2c is part of g77 and therefore will no longer exist with gcc4.
As a result, Science Tools will currently not compile on rhel5 because it relies on libg2c. There have been 2 workarounds already done to get past this.
1)Stephen Fegan, Berrie's postdoc, has already done the work of converting all our f2c code to use gfortran when he was playing with 64bit builds in SCons.
2)Eric Winter and his group have made f2c part of the external libraries and are supplying it as part of their rhel5 builds. They therefore use libf2c rather than libg2c.
(Richard) 1) does not work for Windows since it depends on compiling the original Fortran and a typical user's Windows machine need not have a Fortran compiler. (Toby) asks whether we can get rid of the dependence on f2c-translated code altogether.
Navid report
GoGui (Joanne) Since last week
These features are all in release 0.8.8. Builds for RHEL3, RHEL4 and Windows are available in the ftp area.
