Action list

LCFG: load of small changes on the CVS repository, therefore no RPM yet. LCFG RPMs unstable at the moment but will be OK in the afternoon. Doc: Going well. Default configuration needs to be revised again. Hope to have a CVS freeze this afternoon. Answers to Maite’s list:

All source in CVS, but using some packages, which are not in distributed RPMs (special perl).
RPMs OK.
Method CVS à RPM ok.
Won’t keep the RPM versions numbering standard because LCFG is existing since long with its own versioning.
Configuration profiles will be re-locatable.

Configuration: Answers to Maite’s list:

Code available in CVS (closed), managed to do one install together with Maite.
Packaging is done.
Instruction to install the RPM done.
Doc: Install/build ok, config. to be done.
Will follow recommended versioning.
RPMs maybe re-locatable (they are not now but it’s not a problem).
Tagging TBD. Will not comply with the directory rule (too late to change now).

Base installation: Bernd couldn’t participate in the meeting but he had reported to Olof that he would try to comply to all points in Maite’s list. Bernd will be around for the integration phase the coming two weeks. Maite wants to sit together with Bernd to do one install (not for this week).

2: in progress. The program should be put into Bernd’s CVS. It will also be delivered this Friday.
3:

Core list: finished and sent to Integration Team

10: A version was sent by Maite. No comments received. A new version from the integration team received yesterday. RPM and source code naming conventions. Doesn’t make sense to continue to work on this for this release. Closed.
11:Received last updates yesterday. Not all tasks submitted a glossary (gridification, installation and configuration still missing).
12: implementation of the comments OK. German sends out a note for how this was done. Subsystem integration under progress. Wants now to start the integration with references. A first complete draft this afternoon. Use-cases are missing. An overview picture and glossary are missing. An executive summary is being produced by Olof.
13: long term
14: action on German to check if this is still an action.
15: closed
16: action irrelevant now. Closed.
17: internal for RMS. Check with Florian and Thomas at next meeting.

19: long term
32: access fixed. Closed
33: done. Closed

35: LCFG: Jan with backup from Julian and Andrea (Email), Cfg mgmt: Piotr, Base installation: Bernd. Closed
36: nothing done yet because internal discussion in the integration team about going back to previous Globus version. Action to be taken up again when this has been clarified. Marco is in the CERN school of computing this week.

New actions and AOB

Jan, Maite, Olof, Lex, David: nothing
Piotr: dealing with internal actions. No new action.
Andrea: will contact Jan about current LCFG problems.
