Round Table
Marco Cl.
- Fixed CondDBCompression issue with Stripping applications (LBCORE-238
)
- Nightly Builds
- Restored "headofeverything" feature (LBCORE-240
)
- We can build releases with the nightly build system, but we need to validate the products: how to do it?
- ROOT 6 Test Status
- Reflex Plugin service replaced with a ROOT-free one, tested in the nightlies
- Testing new genreflex but there are unrelated problems with genconf (segfault in a destructor in ROOT)
- CMake
- Trying to build Geant4 with CMake in the nightlies, but, it seems, there is a problem with CTest.
Marco Ca.: request for new stack soon; are there changes in Gaudi? not really
Joel
- DIrac is using the the same Jenkins ash the nightlies.
- We may have a new project for the Virtual infrastructure: BeautyDirac
- We need to reboot SLC5 build machines to upgrade the OS
Markus
- Problem with mmapped deleted temporary files, probably due to SQLite.
Marco Cl. will follow it up with Markus.
Gloria
- What is the status of the changes in the notification policies in JIRA?
Ben will check.
- Decoupling of the Generators : LHAPDF now moved to a data package.
- We need to feed back to SFT some interface packages (will be sent to Benedikt and Victor).
Ben
- New web application for the radiation maps.
- old app written in C++ that took a bit to compile (strong requirements on ROOT and Boost versions)
Gloria: we should draft recommendations for web applications
- Working to integrate Valgrind and Massif in LHCbPR
- Issue with ICC13: LbLogin -c does not set up the environment correctly
- We should drop gcc47 and move directly to gcc48; to check with SFT, but we can do it in the next stack.
Stefan
- Many changes to LHCbPR to be deployed.
Ben: we should push them to the dev instance.
Liang
- Testing the JIRA configuration for CondDB patches.
