Tape drive states

• Vova found a solution for the error that he was facing in the unit-tests and will be working on implementing it.

PostgreSQL scheduler DB

• David will be working on understanding the current object store logic.

REPACKING tape state and queue cleanup

• v4.8.0-0.rc1 test version has been released, and is in the process of being tested by Vlado and Julien.
• Vlado has already identified some issues on: https://gitlab.cern.ch/cta/CTA/-/issues/83 These need to be fixed and/or discussed.

cta-admin wrapper

• Lasse will be working on this as one of his first tasks. He is free to re-write the original code as he sees fit.
• The objective is to produce a workable version, free of the existing bugs.

Move subdirectories from CTA dev repo into new repos

• No more meaningful issues found. Remove from next weeks agenda.

cta-admin build for CentOS Stream-8, and other CI changes

• There is some remaining work to do:
• Restructure the repo for centos7 and centos stream-8
• Prepare installation in aiadm. Jorge will work on this with Julien, to see how the corresponding puppet module can be configured.
• It needs to be tested. Jorge will use a centos stream-8 container.
• There needs to be a trigger from the main CTA repo to this centos stream-8 release repo.

Overall, Jorge and Julien need to check this: 

1. How to trigger cta-admin release for centos stream-8 
2. Where to put in the repo
3. How to test cta-admin before deploying

Rename ArchiveForUser and ArchiveForRepack

• We decided to go for a simple fix, since renaming the names in CTA code might cause even more inconsistencies. This will be re-evaluated lated, once Postgres queues are available.
• In the meanwhile, Lasse will add support for field renaming in the "cta-admin-ops" tool.

Experiment with test release tags

• We discussed the possibility of having a "release" branch, where all the release commits are merged and tagged. This would provide a clean history of all releases, separate from the normal development workflow.
• The feasibility of this approach (with some possible changes, up to discussion) needs to be evaluated by Joao. 
• Check with Elvin/Michal to see how this is done in xrootd releases.
