+ Actions done and progress
- Savannah:
. ongoing support (project approval, help registration/lost password)
- Hypernews:
. ongoing support (fora creation, renaming, moving users from CMS, etc)
- PH webmaster (chasing people who don't follow CERN naming rules when
creating web sites)
- dynamic web pages (lcgsoft) for LCGCMT configurations released
- 'yesterday' option (Rene's suggestion) implemented in the nightly
builds display page
- SPI web server moved from lcgapp04 to lxvm0303 virtual machine
- improved and released automatic generation of daily open bugs
status reports that Atlas people can get by subscribing to a
mailing list.
- setup several mechanisms with Manuel Gallas (Savannah 'squads'
and automatic bugs assignations) to ease submission and monitoring
of Atlas Offline bugs during the production phase.
- mail sent to contacts in the other experiments to drag attention
on these features and offer help if needed

Stefan
+ Actions done
- New software installations
- qt 4.4.1 for all Linux and Mac platforms (windows coming soon)
- qt 4.3.0 re-installed for Mac OS - requested by Atlas
- pyqt 4.4.3 for all Linux and Mac platforms - this installation should contain
a qt3 backward compatibility feature - to be tested.
- sip 4.4.7 (for qt installation)
- Investigation on boost time_date time resolution - with a macro at compile time
a nanosec resolution can be achieved, this macro is now integrated into the cmt
interface package of Boost (USE_BOOST_TIME_WITH_NSEC_RESOLUTION)
- Several changed and additions to Grid interface packages were proposed and introduced together with LHCb (thanks Philippe Ch.)
- gccxml 0.9 series contained a bug in connection with
- The opengrok test page is online at https:// j2eeps.cern.ch/test-lcg-opengrok/ , it contains test instances for Atlas and LHCb software. "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)
