Core Issues/Status 20 Nov 2002

Gleam release status

• In spite of determination to make v3 "it", there was v3r1, then v3r2, then  v3r3, and now, v3r4!! Mostly RootIo fixes, but also a fix to the tracker trigger calculation, but discovered by Richard and confirmed by Johann.
• Since the release system is not installed, will continue as a "checkout package" for a short while. This will be certainly disrupted by the Gaudi transition. [Note added after core meeting: we still plan to make a branch tag, but the release is a moving target! This can be done at any time, since we would only apply the branch tag to the CMT-tagged versions.]

Release management

• Traudl's presentation

Gaudi v11

• See the transition page for a complete discussion of the status. In short:
  • Gleam, (on Windows with vc6) and all test programs seem to run fine with the minor mods discussed above. This includes new versions of CLHEP, HTL, Geant4, AIDA.
  • Nothing has been done on linux (gcc3.2) since Michael and Johann's tests.
• Issue: continue to install the Gaudi packages in our repository, treat them the same as ours, or: install as an external package.

Software development environment issues

• CMT for linux issue: until now, we have provided little support for the linux development environment! Now that Marco is helping, there is significant progress in implementing the "stamps" facility of CMT!
• CMT v1r12p20020606: no reports of problems: now default on GLAST-TS, and available at SLAC.
• vc++ 7.0. (with Visual Studio .Net): still Real Soon Now, probably this week.
• gcc 3.2 (reported to be available at SLAC. The minutes will have instructions on how to compile with it in CMT. I have the following statement in my .cshrc so that I can invoke egcs in CMT:
  • setenv CMTEXTRATAGS egcs

Other issues

• calibration
• systests 
  • new ACD tests installed on Gleam head
• DPF
