Andrei reported on the LHCb/DIRAC week - a 3 days workshop 21-23 March. The slides are attached to the agenda.
The highlights are:
DIRAC and LHCbDIRAC codes are separated, this will be followed by the code repository separation shortly.
DIRAC software will be migrated to a distributed versions control system (DVCS), Git and Mercurial are evaluated.
Discussion of the DataManagement development:
- File Catalog
- Dynamic Data Placement
- Storage Usage Monitoring
- FTS, Staging traceability
- Bulk async removal operations
Discussion of the Resource Status System
- Federico reported a good progress in the RSS development as the source of the status information. Effort
should be taken to ensure that this service can stand a heavy load.
Discussion of the certification procedure
- Federico reported evaluation of the QM test tools used for the LHCb nightlies tests. This tool looks to be not
supported any more. Evaluating
nose - python unittest based testing framework. Can still use the LHCb web
portal used for nightlies tests monitor for reporting the test results.
- Stephane expressed interest in the certification procedure for the ILC case.
Discussion of the Documentation
- Standardize on sphynx + epydoc to produce guides and code documentation correspondingly
