Subjects
News
- Some physical machines (mainly SLC5) have to be retired
- lxbuild159 is used for Neo4J test instance, but it can be moved to a VM
- we should try to use the VMs only for the minimum required time
- ISIMA
- one possible candidate to work on Jenkins
- somebody to convert Dirac build to pip
- Ben preselected 3 CVs
- Linux certification meeting
- they understood that they have to decouple the OS from the experiments: they do their migrations and we do it at our pace
- complaints about lxplus being slow
Round Table
Marco Cl.
- CMake
- some improvements
- fixed a few projects (Online, Urania, Geant4)
- Nightly builds
- since Monday lhcb-gaudi-head is build with CMake
- integrated the builds of LHCbDirac and Dirac
- we need to reorganize the slots
- remove lhcb-cmake and lhcb-root6, keep lhcb-no-reflex and rename it lhcb-root5 when the release is done
Joel
- Ben working on LHCbGrid packaging with RPM
- Issues last wee with users using eosmount to access data
Liang
- Marco Ca.: we need to completed the commissioning of the conddb system after the test run (including remove the redundant Oracle instance)
Ben
- Fixed mkLCGCMTtar from RPM
- We need to check (and fix) the RPMs of LHCbDirac and Dirac
- Problem with SFT: they provide RPMs only for what they build, but we need others too
- prepared a script to package anything that is in sw/lcg
- Improved/fixed lb-sdb-importsvn, still to automatically flag new projects for release
- Required to prepare debug RPMs and tar files for externals
- Working only running Hlt and publish infos to LHCbPR
