Apologies: Xiaomei

Follow-up from previous meeting

• FTS3 policy for v6r20 should be re-shuffled
  • also asked to add a flag for which version to use
• python 2.7.13 can stay (no need for 2.7.14 yet)
• DUW: confirmed in CC-IN2P3. Suggested to use Friday to talk about operational matters with CC admins

Current situation

DIRAC:

• v6r19p4 is the last production version
  • Just fixes
  • dropped check of pyGSI version

WebApp:

• NTR.
• Andrei would like to discuss the changes Zoltan proposed on deployment - out of this meeting 

Pilot:

• NTR

Externals:

• NTR

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 Wojciech is using it and looks OK
• quite some similarities with WebAppDIRAC, some code can be ported there

BOINC:

• NTR

PyGSI:

• NTR

Documentation

• NTR

DB12:

• 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
  • v6r19p5 should be out ASAP
• v6r20 series
  • pre5 is out
  • PilotsLogging "full chain" verified, modulo the "authentication" (see daily dev focus slides)
  • new FTS3 looks OK, but requested Chris to add a flag
    • and some more work

Certification process: 

• v6r20 certification is ongoing: 
  • Using trello and slack as usual
  • not much progress this week
• The lhcb-jenkins server will be retired in few days
  • jenkins-dirac server is replacing it

Weekly development(s) focus

• see slides (Pilots Logging)
  • decided to stick with RESTDIRAC, which will need to be updated

DIRAC: current PRs and tasks being worked on

• pyGSI -> M2Crypto: maybe for v6r21
  • Made several tests
  • We decided that we can remove the legacy proxies part
  • Add a flag to use it or not, maybe based on an environment variable
  • still lacking the sockets part
    • decided to look into what's missing before declaring it not a WIP anymore
• formatting with autopep8 PR: looks OK
• dirac-wms vs dirac-admin scripts: time to change the names?
  • Philippe will make a plan for changing names and positions altogether

DIRAC communities roundtable

• ILC: Moved to v6r19 in production 
• LHCb: Moving to v6r19 next week

AOB

• Next BiLD-Dev meeting will be held in 3 weeks (November 30)

LHCbDIRAC

• "prod" simlink of LHCbGrid v11r4 done
  • Need to update the release doc too
• LHCbGrid v13r0 done
  • used by v0r9014
• new jenkins-dirac is used, will be completed ASAP
  • Need to make the slaves not visible from outside
  • and puppetize the cernVMs
