And, following, the LHCbDIRAC developers meeting.
At CERN: Federico, Christophe, Zoltan, Philippe, Joel, Milosz, Wojtek, Hamza
On Vidyo: Andrew, Hideki, Ueda, Marcelo, Xiaomei, Andrei
Apologies: Marko, Andre
Follow-up from previous meeting
- (Also items from last Fridays' meeting on Development strategy)
- Zoltan will take care of the final implementation of a dirac-install-plus script, but some pre-design is necessary
- Deprecated decorator: ask Simon?
- CODEOWNERS file may be expanded a bit
Current situation
DIRAC:
- v6r19p2 is the last production version
- Just fixes
WebApp:
- NTR.
- Andrei would like to discuss the changes Zoltan proposed on deployment - out of this meeting
Pilot:
- NTR
- We can introduce Pilot3 as optional from the SiteDirectors from next version (v6r20 even?)
- All new PRs should be targeted to devel branch, then a quick Jenkins test will be run before merging it back to master branch
Externals:
- NTR
- Asked about moving to python 2.7.14: no rush, we can keep in sync with LHCb core software
LCG bundles:
- Version v13r0 looks OK, and DIRAC v6r19 depends from that
- This version includes python packages like pyparsing and futures, which should be anyway in the externals. To verify
- still not moved its "development" to GitHub. This would also answer the recurrent question of the content of each release
REST:
- NTR, but Chris said he will make a PR for fixing it
BOINC:
- NTR
PyGSI:
- NTR
Documentation
- NTR
DB12:
- Andrew added file used by all VOs. We should make a pip (wheel) package and release it, then import it in DIRAC
Release planning, tests and certification
Release planning:
- v6r17 series
- NTR
- v6r19 series
- v6r19p3 should be out ASAP
- It will fix the loading of modules in the extension
- v6r19p3 should be out ASAP

- pre3 is out, pre4 should be out ASAP
- PilotsLogging showed some issues that should be now solved

Certification process:
- v6r20 certification is ongoing:

- The lhcb-jenkins server needs to be retired soon, we need to find a solution ASAP, will be announced at the BiLD
Weekly development(s) focus

DIRAC: current PRs and tasks being worked on
- pyGSI -> M2Crypto: maybe for v6r21

LHCbDIRAC
