Notes

  1. OS Upgrade to Alma9:

  2. Discussion of software upgrade projects:
    • JANA2 (Raiqa)
      • Transition to JANA2 wiki page: add commands for REST files and MC
      • halld_recon is highest priority, but halld_sim and hdgeant4 dependencies likely require to switch all packages at the same time (Raiqa will check)
      • Adapt or upgrade mkplugin and MakeReactionPlugin.pl (Raiqa)
      • Fix problem with resource pools, then tag to build and test
    • RCDB2
      • Fix bug in upgrade command (Sean, Dmitry)
      • Update webpage (Dmitry)
      • Commission DAQ (Sergey, Dmitry): Beginning of November
    • Geant4
      • Try and compare b1pi test with G4.10.7 (Alex):
      • Did not solve hdgeant4 issue #223: Richard and Igal investigate
  3. Review of recent issues and pull requests:
    1. halld_recon:
      • #842: Locking in JANA, CDC plugins fixed, provide list for others (Naomi)
      • #843: Make rarely-used plugins optional targets (Alex/Sean)
      • #844: RCDB problem for a few runs (Sean)
      • Implement decoding and monitoring for TRD prototype (Sean, Simon, Lubomir, Nozar)
      • Implement decoding and monitoring for beam helicity measurements (Mark D. Justin, Ken, Peter?)
