Notes

  • Write access to xrootd server would be useful for offsite production
    • Similar to MCWrapper
    • Post-processing to merge files before writing them to cache necessary
  • Tools to discover undeterministic behavior in c++ code:
  • Check if native build works for container on Alma9, eventually get rid of -cntr builds

      • supply Alma9 container through CVMFS

    • halld_recon:
      • $HALLD_RECON_HOME/src/BMS is deprecated, remove from the repo?
    • JANA2 (Nathan):
      • implement JANA2 in build_scripts, provide version.xml for general testing
      • N. will focus on the transition now
      • Use Alma9 container?
    • CCDB 2.0 (Dmitry):
      • Check alma9 container
      • Implement version check in v1, test with v2
      • Need to test CCDB DB version update - need instructions / command from Dmitry (Sean)
    • Geant4
