== ARC7 status check

• Dashboard
• Planning document

Dashboard is updated with action items, which are also listed below.

Release candidate builds and runs in test instances.

There are some outstanding merge requests (bug fixes), to be merged soon.

Andrii has some feature requests, reported in Bugzilla (accounting for token attributes, bug #4104).

Usage of system certificates (Bug #4094) still needs to be implemented.

GLUE2 support in the monitor is fixed, but REST support is not added. Unclear whether BDII 6 in EPEL 7 testing still works for infosys purposes, needs testing.

REST 1.1 implementation is done, but needs testing with DIRAC and HTCondor.

ARC7 client needs to be tested whether it works w/o X509 (bug #4102 reported)..

Querying public info in A-REX used to kill the server, a bug needs to be reported if it is still the case. Some security assessment may also be needed; it is also unclear whether it is accessible with tokens.

Cross-checking is needed whether any XRSL extension is needed. Multi-benchmark specs are not yet released by APEL.

Packaging may need to be revised wrt plugins, check package naming (EPEL9, "nordugrid-arc" is ARC 6), see also the planning doc 

Controldir restructuring needs checking wrt back-end scripts and arcctl.

Time to start drafting release notes for ARC7.

Regular status checks to be held every Tuesday. An alpha candidate is expected in 2 weeks.
