This is the GlueX Offline Frequently-Asked Questions list. If you cannot find an answer to your question, please send it to the Offline Software Coordinator (currently Mark Ito).

General

Where do I find information about GlueX software?

The best place is this wiki. The highest-level page dealing with software is the Offline Software page. The offline page is linked from the front page of the wiki at http://wiki.gluex.org .

GlueX

How do I get an account on the wiki?

To prevent spam, only registered users are allowed to post on the wiki. To prevent spammers from becoming registered users, random visitors are not allowed to create their own accounts on the wiki. To get an account, contact the current Offline Software Coordinator or a former Coordinator (Mark Ito, David Lawrence). They have the privileges to create an account.

In your request, send a suggestion for your user name on the wiki. You will receive a password which you should change to something more to your liking. Passwords can be changed using the "preferences" link at the top of each wiki page once you are logged in. Please do not use your JLab user account password for this purpose, for security reasons; the way passwords are stored on the wiki is not all that secure.

How do I get privilege to check stuff into the repository?

Become a member of the halld unix group.

JLab

How do I install a certificate in my browser so that I can smoothly view "certified" web sites at JLab?

Go to http://cc.jlab.org/JLabCAs/ and select the browser you are using, and follow the instructions thereunder.
