Round Table
Marco Cl.
- Some new projects in Git
- LHCbGrid (official repository moved to git)
- Geant4
- Gauss
- preparing Geant4-srcs to mirror Geant4 official sources and host our patches
- Gaudi v26r4
- package tags missing in SVN (to be added)
- new release procedure: release notes from JIRA and Git, but because of the transition they are not exhaustive
- Would like to move the nightly configuration repository to gitlab
- allow authentication via SSO (e.g. delegating to lhcbsoft for the commits, preserving the author)
- quick fixes possible from the web interface
- requires some work (a JIRA ticket will be open soon)
Marco Ca.
- Started releasing new stack on top Gaudi v26r4.
Ben
- Working on compilation of our stack on clang 3.7
- Working on a CMT-free environment for login/runtime
- well progressing, but still bits missing
- Stefan started discussion on monitoring, that will have to be followed up
- People suggested (again) to have a stackoverflow-like tool for Q&A.
Illya
- Planning to move Ariadne from buildlhcb to a new (virtual) machine
- we need to check that the migration (downtime) is not affecting too much the users (e.g. automatic release build)
- Worked some years ago a monitoring system for the CondDB, which should be integrated in the agreed monitoring system
Joel
- lxbuild119 (buildlhcb) should be retired tomorrow, but we have time until the 15th of November.
- 3 new VMs created for CouchDB, Jenkins and Neo4J
