Status of tests and releases for Upgrade studies

Database, LHCb, Gauss, Boole, Brunel

1).Port changes of geometry and particle table, etc from standard dbase to upgrade db

Gloria will fill savannah deployement for Upgrade CondDB referring to entries to be ported from regular CondDB savannah deployment

2). Test full chain with current upgrade geometry.

Requires XDST centrally produced with Gauss v42r4, Boole v26r2, Brunel v44r2. Productions being prepared.

3). Introduce VL and VL compact

Requires new upgrade DBASE and Gauss with new LHCb.
DBASE being prepared by Sajan, Gauss release of next week if possible, otherwise week after.
Tests and possible changes to Gauss by Paul.

4). Introduce VP compact

Requires new upgrade DBASE. VP to provide it for Sajan to integrate. Done 20130325.

5). GDML and voxelization of volumes

GDML can be used to replace given volumes since Gauss v4Xr4 (X=2,3,4)
Nigel is now porting the voxel geometry implemented in G4 9.6 and given to Matt privately into our build of G4 9.5.p02
