Subjects
News
- LIM
- discussion on the new installation scheme: to be confirmed by ATLAS, but we will get something similar with what is already there (possibly with some kind of optional InstallArea)
- ITUM on Monday
Discussion about GIT support in LHCb: we are not going to support GIT for analysis.
Round Table
Joel
- Asked LCG people to get bindings for Python 2.7 for the middleware, but the question is if we need them for SLC5 and/or SLC6.
- we will need both as long as we have SLC5 resources on the Grid
- Received instructions to set-up Tivoli backup on lxbuild119 (buildlhcb).
Marco Cl.
- Nightlies
- machine occupation improved after the tuning discussed at last meeting
- improvements to the new dashboard ([http://lbtestbuild.cern.ch/nightlies/]), some more work needed, but it could be put in production soon
- ROOT 6 preparation
- managed to run Gaudi and LHCb tests without PyCintex (using PyROOT instead), but it requires some hacks that should be implemented in ROOT (Wim is working on it)
Illya
- Ariadne update, see LBCORE-28
.
- Added a TOOLS package to distribute the Ariadne code and prepare the environment for the Python modules. A wrapper will be added to LbScripts to simplify the access to the tools.
- Waiting for a confirmation from Gloria to start the switch.
Marco Ca.
- Chris has been fighting against a dictionary generation problem (reported on Savannah).
- We need a test to write/read every event model class, which will help in the validation of ROOT 6.
Markus
- New release of Online: Markus testing versions. It should not be picked up by subdetectors.
