Actions during the summer
QWG releases
New SPMA/ncm-spma (Victor):
- First draft of changes committed in a separate branch
- Schema changes + new functions
- Lot of checks done, no deployed changes on an installed machine
- Only XML changes
- No side effect expected... but more testing required in production
- Cal: lets put it in the trunk and test it
- Victor: tests can be done in 2 phase: new component, then new schema
Monitoring templates (Ronald) :
- Concentrated first on migrating NIKHEF to QWG (like) templates
- Basically done
- A few incompatibilies already identified: no major showstopper but requires careful inspection
- Send a short summary of incompatibilities before doing real work: will try to make some progress in the next month...
PAN compiler 8.4: MS evaluated it but some downstream dependencies found preventing going immediatly to production
QRC plugin release: SixSq agrees to do it (Cal), Nick will send the material by email
Maven evaluation status:
- Cal already built 2 components for StratusLab with Maven
- Eli is trying to build a standard one
