Description
Technical coordination group members and invited persons

5 February 2019, 14:00 - 14:55
Present: Balazs, Maiken, Anders, David, Aleksandr, Mattias, Oxana
 

== News ==

* NeIC AHM was cool, some NDGF sites will test ARC6
* Json file for WLCG CEs is now agreed, at some point ARC CE description should be translated into it; is similar to our rendering
* ARC-HTCondor training at ISGC - ARC people are chosen
* David collected a lot of complaints about ARC from an ATLAS site that considers moving to HTCondor, esp. since ALICE still needs Glue1; accounting is also problematic 
 

== Bugs ==

* 3765 - taken by Mattias
* 3790 - enhancement requested by a sysadmin
 

== ARC5 support ==

Clusters running ARC5 should not be updated to ARC6 automatically, which means that ARC6 should not be an update to ARC5 in EPEL6/7. The ARC6 packages will be called nordugrid-arc6 there, and we will not guarantee that they can be installed at the same machine (conflict). Security patches to ARC5 will be provided for one year after ARC6 release, ARC5 packages in EPEL are likely to become unsupported after 1 year.
 

== Accounting of killed jobs ==

Reported in bug 3688. More discussion is needed, as not everybody is happy with the solution. HTCondor case needs to be sorted out.
 

== A.O.B. ==

* Digest approved
* NG2019 PC meets on Wednesday
