At CERN: Federico, Christophe, Andre', Marko, Louis,
On Vidyo: Xiaomei, Wojtek, Daniela, Simon, Marcelo, Vladimir, Andrei
Apologies:
Follow-up from previous meeting
- PR (#3713) for fixing the infamous "invalid action proposal" by speeding up the handshake and not looking up the user/group in the baseStub: backported to v6r19, working as expected. In production for many now.
- One issue found in LHCb: FTSAgent was using a proxy without the "limitedDelegation" property.
Current situation
DIRAC
- v6r19p23 out
- still the main production release for many
- #3739 should be included for GridPP
- v6r20p4 out
- bug fixes
- going to be production release for many "soon"
- v6r21-pre1 out
- in DIRAC certification, one more today
WebApp:
Pilot3:
- NTR (#3739 should be included also here)
Externals:
DIRACOS:
- https://github.com/DIRACGrid/DIRACOS
- checked by Marcelo, and now by Marko
- some documentation unclear/missing
- Built/verified for SLC6 and CC7 (one build only)
- Built also for Debian as a test, but not fully tested
- Will be used for v7r0
- needs some changes in dirac-install script to allow extensions of it
- bashrc will change, backward compatibility won't be there
- not making the (t)cshrc for now
LCG bundles:
- v14r2 created, looks OK for SLC6
- CC7 version does not include M2Crypto, and in general it is broken for the server side (client maybe OK)
REST:
BOINC:
- NTR, docs still need to be completed
PyGSI:
Documentation
- Andre' has added in PR #3723 the technical documentation to start/administer two TS agents.
- Andrei has started to migrate the rest of the documentation
DB12:
Release planning, tests and certification
Release planning:
- v6r19 series
- NTR (just a patch coming)
- v6r20 series
- #3723 (multi-VO transformations) will be backported to v6r20 [Andre']
- going to make release today
- v6r21 series --> name is v7r0
- v6r21-pre1 is out
- for this series, we agreed that DIRACOS will be used
- also WebApp 4.0 can be used
- this takes us to name this release v7r0
- the list of feature request is already getting closed
Certification process:
- v6r21 certification:
- v6r21-pre1 installed already in DIRAC certification setup
- https://jenkins-dirac.web.cern.ch/ is open to registrations for who needs it or wants it
Weekly development(s) focus
- Luis presented the "HTTPS in DIRAC" initiative (see linked presentation)
- done via Tornado
- several questions in the slides
- one for logging looks difficult (but critical) to address
- differences between python2 and 3 important
- code is on Luis' repo on github
- Luis will finish end of August, it won't be ready by that time, this will leave us with tasks
- we'll have one more dedicated BiLD before he leaves
DIRAC: current PRs and tasks being worked on, or topics from Google forum
DIRAC communities roundtable
- BES:
- Moving to v6r20 next month
- CLIC:
- LHCb:
- Belle2:
- Virgo:
- Andrei met with community, some pressures for Rucio also from them
- maybe time for a "DIRAC for astrophysics" mini-workshop in autumn
AOB
- Next BiLD-Dev meeting will be held in 2 weeks (July 19) just after CHEP
LHCbDIRAC
- v9r2 certification
- was waiting for LHCbGrid released
- Now present, but don't time to start certifying right now -- next week
- possible to deploy the week after CHEP?
