Follow-up from previous meeting

• RFC proxies are now the default in v6r19
  • Then we can remove old legacy code in future versions (m2Crypto simplifications)
• TranformationDB on cluster (MariaDB galera cluster with 3 nodes), triple increase of auto-increment
  • Verified, no code issues (was missing a trigger on their side)
• lcgBundle repo not created

Current situation

DIRAC:

• v6r19 is the last production version
  • very long list of changes in https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DIRACGrid/DIRAC/integration/release.notes
    • logging based on python standard logging: Marko P. to verify some possible inconsistencies
    • new RSS rewritten in many parts, now including every type of resource
    • Adapting to MySQL 5.7
    • New network accounting (discussion if it should be monitoring instead)
    • The application error codes, when returned, are passed to the JobWrapper, and maybe interpreted.
    • The JobWrapperTemplate can reschedule a job if the payload exits with status DErrno.EWMSRESC & 255 (222)
    • and many others
  • branch rel-v6r19 also created
  • Due to lcgBundle issues, we won't assure any working version for CC7
    • lcgBundle v13r0 to be used in conjunction

WebApp:

• NTR

Pilot:

• NTR
• We can introduce Pilot3 as optional from the SiteDirectors from next version (v6r21?)

Externals:

• NTR

LCG bundles:

• Version v13r0 looks OK, but not CC7 version, which is NOT for this meeting
  • DIRAC v6r19 depends from that
  • This version includes python packages like pyparsing and futures, which should be anyway in the externals. To verify

REST:

• NTR, but Chris could not manage to use it. Broken?

BOINC:

• NTR

PyGSI:

• NTR

Release planning, tests and certification

Release planning:

• v6r17 series
  • NTR
• v6r19 series
  • v6r19p1 should be out ASAP
• v6r20 series
  • Decided to include:
    • https://github.com/DIRACGrid/DIRAC/pull/3434 (removing old Web fully)
    • https://github.com/DIRACGrid/DIRAC/pull/3486 (Pilots Logging system)
      • IFF there's a flag for enabling it or not

Certification process: 

• v6r20 certification is ongoing: 
  • Using trello and slack as usual
  • Also ILC people in
  • Already asked to create v6r20-pre2
• The lhcb-jenkins server needs to be retired soon, we need to find a solution ASAP

Weekly development(s) focus

• Chris wanted to discuss our development strategy, but we decided to postpone it to a dedicated meeting

DIRAC: current PRs and tasks being worked on

• pyGSI -> M2Crypto: maybe for v6r21
  • still lacking the sockets part

DIRAC communities roundtable

• ILC: moved smoothly to DIRAC v6r17
• GridPP: NTR
• BES3: NTR

AOB

• Reviewer settings in DIRAC should allow also non-owners to be proper reviewers
• Next BiLD-Dev meeting will be held in 2 weeks (October 26)

LHCbDIRAC

• All tasks for migration out of lb-run have been added to https://its.cern.ch/jira/browse/LBCORE-1410
  • Need to be done with order (some dependencies there, e.g. LHCbDIRAC changes first require changes in Core SW)
• We can put lb-run -c best LHCbDIRAC now in pilots, as last releases are OK (only releases for gcc49)
  • Pilot 3 first (HLT farm as tester)
• Release v9r0 feature list is closed, all other MRs will go in v9r1
  • Possible release on October 23rd
• QT4 -> QT5? Progress? Urgency?
