Participants: Anders, Sigve, Balazs, Aleksandr, Oxana (at the minutes)
Items: ------ - CHEP05 - ATLAS production - configuration - GT4 - SC2005 - interoperability - next meeting - tomorrow's sessions Distribution ------------ Aleksandr writes a paragraph describing the source distribution details (snapshot, bootstrapped distro, source RPM) and sends it to Oxana. Anders fixes GT4 asap (4.0.1-ng) - sRPMs - list of native external packages replaced by the original ones - OpenLDAP is still Globus patched + Mattias' timeout patch - Anders places Globus build script on the "Downloads" page No SASL for 0.6 as nobody uses authenticated queries; newest VOMS (1.6.7), gSoap (2.7.6c), MySQL client, libxml2-devel >= 2.4.0, python devel needed to build py interface - but not critical otherwise. Mandriva 2005 in, Mandrake 8.x out. Balazs fixes the boxes. Aleksandr removes ui library dependencies from the server and uses only arclib. Remove the need for NORDUGRID/ARC_LOCATION - Mattias see what should be done; a wrapper or something. On the server side it's not needed (according to Aleksandr) Try to find Solaris and Mac OS boxes to test builds. Oxana to synchronise Web version of the INSTALL in CVS. Python modules (their absence) should not prevent nightly builds. Anders to disable python wrappers for builds. Friday tags become next Monday tags, so that the code can be fixed over the weekend. Everybody makes sure the build on Monday works, otherwise there will be no tag until next week. Downloads page has to be re-organized for 0.6. Balazs provides the ideas to Anders. Standalone will not include CA keys; instead setup.sh will pull them from a download site. Meanwhile, 0.4.5 will be re-created with the latest keys (all Anders). Downloads page, too: Anders to find the way to re-introduce the timestamps. Decide who renames arc* to ng* and ng* to ng*-old (Mattias or Anders) New wonderful idea on RPM names: nordugrid-arc-client nordugrid-arc-server nordugrid-arc-monitor The rest stays without "arc". This is to be implemented already for the next tag (Anders). Balazs and Aleksandr to discuss the configuration again. Logger client will be called "nglogq" and will be a separate binary (Aleksandr). YAUNT table: update - remotelrms: NEEDED; will be removed from 0.6.0 (may come back in 0.6.1) (Anders) - gridssh: to be removed from the distro. (Anders) - ngjm: removed fro 0.6.0 as well (Anders) - myproxy: supported, untested New "Job description" manual: to include xRSL for 0.6 and JSDL (Oxana, Aleksandr) Configuration: see the picture. Other ----- Everybody agrees that the security architecture has to be re-assessed. Incompatibilities between 0.6 and 0.4 to be documented after testing (Sigve) ATLAS production: NBI will come with new hardware some time soon; Norway contacts site owners; Sweden should provide Swegrid resources. CHEP05: "LCG-ARC interoperability", ask Jorgen about ATLAS s/w; sent e-mail to nordugrid@nordugrid.org Interoperability: Aleksandr thinks that it's easier to add LCG/gLite job submission capacity to the ARC client than to write a portal. Will evaluate which is easier by October 31. Next meeting: Uppsala, January 16-18 (pending confirmation from Mattias)
