Minutes
Work disk
Mark shared what he has learned recently about the new work disk quota system at the Lab.
Software tag policy--when to modify the tag
Mark led the discussion. From time to time, we are tempted to modify a tagged release when a bug fix is found, post-tagging. What to do depends on balancing the desire to have a tag have a time-independent meaning and the desire to fix something that is broken when that fix requires only a very small change. So far we have left this to the judgment of the person maintaining the tag. There was a consensus on continuing with this practice.
Removing 2-GB-file-size limit
David led us through his email message describing the change to the make system to fix the limitation on HDGeant output file size. The change was done by adding the switch in one place in one file.
- DRootGeom changes--multi-threading and ROOT (Slides): David
- Magnetic Field Documentation Webpage: David
- Proposed changes to mcsmear: David
- Group disk usage (work and cache for that matter): all
- Hall D Unix groups discussion: Elliott
- Tracking removed from HDGeant: David
- Action item review
