Present: Andrii, David, Aleksandr, Mattias, Andrej, Balazs, Maiken, Oxana (last part of the call)
ARC 6 RC2 status: people on the call confirmed that all known ARC6 issues are reported in bugzilla or git. During rest of the call we went through those tickets:
1) Bug 3798 - voms_trust_chain alternatives in arc 6
## voms_trust_chain - Define the DN chain that the host services trust when the
## voms AC from peer voms proxy certificate is parsed and validated.
Can be done more easily with the "arcctl deploy voms-lsc atlas --egi-vo" tool
DECISION: voms_trust_chain functionality is more conveniently provide by the arcctl, therefore no need for this option in arc.conf.refeence. To be listed in the arc.conf.deleted.
2) 3806 shared_filesystem=no has no effect
DECISION: blocker for ARC6
3) 3812 A-REX hangs inside XRootd after fork (MAJOR)
fix available, to be tested
4) Bug 3813 - LDAP information system not working when everything is installed from sources
DECISION: to be investigated nevertheless not blockin for ARC6 because installation from source is not the recommended deployment method.
Related ACTION: test bdii update 5.2.25 in the EPEL testing that should be confrmed with the RC3
5) https://source.coderefinery.org/nordugrid/arc/issues/61
David things it is a site configuration problem, not an ARC6 problem.
6) DISCUSSION of Andrii's proposal on howto make some RTE configuration value passing "easier", e.g. howto avoid long cli options for arcctl.
DECISION: we won't put the RTE configuration into the arc.conf.reference, some other method is to be proposed
7) Towrads the final ARC6 release:
The master is ready for a new tag.
DECISION: Tag RC3 and Anders to start the build/packaging Today.
DECISION: even if RC3 would be perfect, we'd go for a very last RC4 before the final release.
DECISION: Ultimate release date: by mid May.
8) What do ween for ARC6 final?
- fix the issues above
- resolve TODO's in the documentation as much as possible
- prepare the arc.conf examples for WLCG pilot with slurm and pilot with condor. data caching with slurm
- write reselease note
