Online Build System

Elliott presented plans for the online build system and directory structures, see link above for details. SCONS will be used instead of Make (used in the offline) for a number of reasons. The design is loosely based on a hybrid of what is done by the Hall D offline build system, the DAQ group and CLAS12. The basic strategy for using SCONS comes from Maurizio Ungaro (CLAS12). The online will use the same svn repository as the offline.

Translation Tables

Dave L presented plans and progress on implementing a translation table in JANA, see the link above for details.
