mkMCGentar Overview

• mkMCGentar creates a unique tar file concatenating all external packages, stored under MCGenerators/, used by a given Gauss version.
• CMTPROJECTPATH must be set beforehand.

Usage

def help() :
  print """make a GENSER tar file for a given Gauss version with the necessary libraries\n
  Usage:
    python mkMCGentar.py [-d or --debug] \n
    -d                                 - debug mode \n
    -b or --binary=  <binary>          - for this binary platform \n
    -n or --native=  <Lb project_vers> - application version from where to get native.versions \n
  Examples:
    cd $LHCBTAR/source
    python mkGENSERtar.py --native=GAUSS_<version> \n
    gets the libraries used by GAUSS_<version> from $LCGEXTERNAL/MCGenerators used by Gauss>\n
    
    """
  sys.exit()

Full description

• main gets arguments from the command line, retreives the list of native_versions, gets corresponding tar files from $LCGEXTERNAL/MCGenerators/distribution and builds the final GENSER_<version>_<binary>.tar.gz file
  • get_native_versions
    • GENSER is nolonger an external package but a Gauss package. retreive its version number from CMT.
    • get the list of MCGenerators packages through the list of native macros.
    • fill packages_versions dictionary with {package:version}
  • * get_tar_files*
    • build a temporary tree in /tmp/MCGenerators
    • for every package in packages_versions dictionary:
      • get the tar file name from get_tar_name
      • if the tar file exist:
        • copy it on /tmp/MCGenerators
        • unzip and extract the required binary
        • remove the tar file
        • in case of lhapdf :
          • get the source tar file to extract from it some data files and remove the tar file
    • build the final tar file and remove the /tmp tree
