Follow-up from previous meeting
- Glue2 support added in v6r19
- many little issues
- it should work not only for HTCondor at CERN
- Looked into adding Glue2 support in ARC CEs, but numbers published are not per-VO
Current situation
DIRAC
- v6r19p19 is out
- introduced Glue2 support in BDII2CSAgent (and "corresponing" script)
WebApp:
- NTR
Pilot:
- Pilot3 is optional for v6r20 SiteDirectors, using a flag
- Not tested yet. What's tested is that Pilot2 are still submitted.
- Currently Pilot3 files are uploaded to the web portal
- Needs to update the documentation for that
Externals:
- v6r6p8 created. Used in v6r20, looks OK for now
- SLC6 and CentOS7 versions created
LCG bundles:
- v14r1 in testing
- All looks OK for SLC6
- CC7 version does not include M2Crypto [to be fixed]
- current production version is still v13r0
- DIRACOS: some progress
- which can be installed using a flag in dirac-install.py script
- looks OK at first tests, but only for SLC6
- support for CC7 needed some tweaks, not fully tested yet
- need to use Jenkins or other CI system
- suggested to move its repo to Github (necessary if we want it as default from next release)
REST:
- NTR
BOINC:
- NTR, docs still need to be completed
PyGSI:
- NTR
Documentation
- Dev documentation to update [Louis]
DB12:
- NTR, we are using in DIRAC what's in the DIRAC code and not what's in this repo
Release planning, tests and certification
Release planning:
- v6r19 series
- NTR
- v6r20 series
- pre21 out
- contains all the new features, so now it's only about testing
- the flag for enabling bulk submission transaction has been removed
- Maybe ready next week
Certification process:
- v6r20 certification:
- Last checks only on
Weekly development(s) focus
- NTR
DIRAC: current PRs and tasks being worked on, or topics from Google forum
- LCD users want to use 255 CHARs for filenames in DFC
- not a good idea, but they'll do it anyway
DIRAC communities roundtable
- GridPP:
- NTR
- BES:
- Started playing with Singularity (made one PR with a fix)
- Singularity deployment at sites still problematic
- not sure how to solve it
- probably some changes in the pilots are needed

- DIRAC4EGI:
- NTR
- Belle2:
- NTR
