Quattor Scrum Process and Backlog

Quattor development principles are inspired by the Agile Manifesto. Development process is based on the scrum method, an agile software development methodology.

A key idea of the scrum method is to make small incremental steps toward implementing new features and improvements required by the users. All the missing features, desirable functionalities or wishes are registered in the (product) backlog.

Development process is organized as a succession of sprints which, for Quattor, are two month long. The work done as part of a specific sprint is a subset of the backlog and is described in a separate wiki page.

This page contains the Quattor backlog. It reflects the state of the backlog at the beginning of the current sprint, with all items moved to the sprint backlog removed. Each section describes the backlog for a specific part of the Quattor toolkit.

Web site

  • Automatic redirect/content removal on former Quattor site, http://quattor.web.cer.ch
  • Remove Trac request for a user certificate for anonymous access
  • Fix navigation menu behaviour: discuss by email what we want to implement, then implement it

Documentation

  • Clarify or add missing material to answer Ronald's questions after his QWG migration experience
  • Implement changes based on Andrea's review (to be monitored in monthly meetings)
  • Ensure Quattor is reference on the appropriate open-source or software project portals

Build tools

  • Tool to convert from old to new build tools

Configuration Modules

  • upgrade components to use perl-CAF to help with RHEL6 support: Luis to produce a list of affected components first.

SCDB

QWG

  • Produce (and maintain!) a QWG release without gLite templates: #230

gLite

  • CE configuration: allow different list of VOs on different CEs sharing the same gridmapdir

Monitoring

SINDES

  • Integration in Quattor server configuration (RAL)

RHEL6/SL6 support

A few issues during first tests at CERN. See https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/ELFms/VmRhes6

Miscellaneous

  • Check how Git repositories can be configured on SF, migration from SVN, how many repositories by project...
    • Enable and create for new bits like Aquilon
  • Calendar of events on the wiki or in SF
    • May use "news" feature rather than calendar
