"Early adopters" are currently looking at it, after that we will decide how to go ahead, also in connection with a replacement of lxr. + Next actions - Integrate cernvm into the nightly build process (using it for testing the LCG/AA stack) - VC9 porting - solving issues that were found by Andrea Valassi - + Problems - The new SFT webserver was provided without access on ports 80 and 443 to outsided CERN, so the pages are not retrievable through the CERN firewall. A request to the security team was made to open the ports, investigations are still ongoing (by IT/FIO) - - ==================================================
