Round Table

Marco Cl.

• Would like to understand better the position of LHCb on Neurobayes (to correctly report it at the A.F.)
  • Not yet defined: we must have a usable (and distributable) installation to be able to evaluate it
• Gaudi is ready for tagging, waiting for LCGCMT.

Karol

• With the new nightly build system, we have to define the order in which the slots/platform are built.

Marco Ca.:

• Reshuffle of the LCG slots.
  • Karol will adapt the configuration
• Problem with the lhcb-lcg-head slot: complete failure (missing input?)
• Windows not working in lhcb-head (missing local copy of the externals)

Joel

• Problem with lxbuild157 2 days ago (lost contact), rebooted.
  Marco Ca.: Karol should be made aware of these issues
• Prepared a script to monitor the space in project volumes. It sends an e-mail to the e-group lhcb-afs-admins.

Hubert

• Rolling Compat including libunwind
  • to be removed as soon as not needed anymore (i.e. when LCGCMT 58a is archived)
• Contacted by Axel to install our software on the machines that will be used with Coverity.
• Atlas is moving to Python 2.6 (LCGCMT 59). When do we do it? What do we need?
  • We need the bindings for the grid middleware
  • Python 2.6 requires VC >= 9, we need lhcbts02 configured to be able to test it.

Nicolas

• Working on the extension of the TagCollector web pages.
  • Needs a pysvn usable on the web servers (complicated to set up).

Illya

• Needs the specifications for the DQ flags.
  • Check with Marco Adinolfi
