Core Issues/Status 20 Apr 2004

• Random number (Michael Kuss)
• Issues tracking
  • Did we adopt JIRA? If so let's start using it. 
• Proposed drop of support for VCC 7.0 (Richard announcement)
• Release Manager 
  • Still waiting for: multiple configurations (perhaps gcc 2.75 and 3.3) and  Windows builds
  • Navid working on a notification trigger, to send mail to those responsible

• InstallArea status (Traudl)
  • Conversion started in earnest with new major version tag (v6) for GlastPolicy, and dependence on new package exInstPolicy
  For review in one of the next core meetings I have put a tentative
  migration plan at
  http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~hansl/soft/TestInstall/migrationToIA.html
  
  I have also assembled several pages, which should help the migration:
  http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~hansl/soft/TestInstall/
  
     1. CMT InstallArea for Glast offline software
        An Introduction. Those who followed earlier presentations should
        be already familiar with this.
     2. CMT InstallArea: A simple hands-on exercise
        If you want to get practical experience, this are step-by-step
        instructions, which should be also understandable if you are not too
        familiar with CMT. There is also a bit about "projects".
     3. How to declare files for the InstallationArea
        This is needed, when you want your files included in the InstallArea
        and should be read at by each developer
     4. Migration to InstallArea
        The proposed steps to  go ahead
  
  This is followed by a group of recommendations for requirements, which will
  certainly evolve with more experience. Comments to all of this
  are welcome !

  Following packages have to be converted for LATEST builds, since they depend on v5r* of GlastPolicy:

  xmlGeoDbs
  xmlUtil
  xml
  ntupleWriterSvc
  G4Generator
  G4Propagator
  TkrDigi

• GlastRelease (Gleam) Status 
  • New package added to Gleam (Heather), to allow display of Root events.
  • New release tag: v4r2 -- system tests look OK. all_gamma started.
• Science Tools
  • No new release yet.
• Flight Integration: OPUS, EBF, etc.
