Follow-up from previous meeting
- NTR
Current situation
- v6r19p11 is the last production version
- One fix for Sandboxes cleaning: we discovered that old sandboxes that failed to be cleaned were not re-tried, so stayed forever.
- Anyway FTSAgent is buggy, fixed in a PR
WebApp:
- The new release procedure of WebApp has been merged, will be part of v6r20
- Documentation needs to be updated
Pilot:
- NTR
Externals:
- NTR
- Need to add a python library for v6r20 [Chris]
LCG bundles:
- v13r0 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:
- Wojtek will create PRs as soon as possible for:
- choosing among different authentication methods (OAuth and X509)
- adding the pilots logging interface
- Delayed because of issues discovered in the DIRAC stomp interface
- ...and because of code refurbishment
- The connection with CS-based authZ will be done later
- Tornado proposes some unit/integration tests which look easy to use, and that can be integrated in Travis or Jenkins. Maybe also for WebApp.
BOINC:
- NTR, docs still need to be completed
PyGSI:
- NTR
Documentation
- NTR
DB12:
- NTR
Release planning, tests and certification
Release planning:
- v6r19 series
- v6r19p12 should be out today or tomorrow
- v6r20 series
- pre10 out
- several PRs need to be reviewed
- the changes in REST, once done and merged, will be included in a pre-release, which we can then install on the DIRAC certification machine
Certification process:
- v6r20 certification:
- Using trello and slack as usual, not much progress these last 2 months
Weekly development(s) focus
- Move to Web API
- We want to move from dips: to https: for our services
- URLs with static part, and a variable part that explains which handler to use
- no need for specifying ports
- URLs with static part, and a variable part that explains which handler to use
- Building blocks:
- tornado
- JSON (RPC?)

- AuthN based on openSSL (using env variable for RFC proxies)
- AuthZ same as now
- remove typing
- First step: JSON
- In several steps
- PRs #3585 and #3586
