Present:

Minutes : Florence Ranjard

   1. Schedule and content of  SICBMC v235 (F.Ranjard)

• SICBMC v235 will be built on top of new RICH and new VELO
  • simuon v4 , detdes v7 , dbase v232- new muon geometry
  • simgeom v4 - correction in xsmag4
  • simpgen v6 - new decay routines
  • simskel v5r2, Futil v5r7, Futio v6r7 - a try to cure the ATMC 10000 bug.
• test release on Monday 20 November.

  2. Introduction of groups area on $CVSROOT, $LHCBSOFT, $LHCBDEV, mycmt (F.Ranjard)

• creation of various groups. Each group should have a group manager with write access on $LHCBDEV.
• GaudiSys will be moved out of $LHCBSOFT to a CERN official area /afs/cern.ch/sw/Gaudi
• LHCb specific Gaudi software will be kept on $LHCBSOFT/Event , $LHCBSOFT/Det
• Fortran code and C++ converters will be kept on $LHCBSOFT/SICB
• group code will be kept on $LHCBSOFT under
  • Calo, Velo, L0, L1, Muon, Rich, IT, OT, Tr

  3. A.O.B.

• Web pages should be improved: it is very difficult for a newcomer to run a job.
• It is not easy to run SICBDST and SICBMC: it is difficult to customize the packages.
• It should be possible to select DST jobid made with a given SICBDST version and a SICBMC version.
• 40% of the DSTs crash in Gaudi
  • the problem is due to more than 10000 entries in a ATMC partition.
