== News
ATLAS had a technical interchange meeting (David, Maiken, Oxana present), we emphasised Glue2, a task force would be needed to collect info on what info is needed. Condor has no schema, has consensus instead. At the moment nobody can even specify use cases, seems to be no manpower available to collect requirements.
Some sites had problems with ARC 5.4 on older CentOS as some dependencies were not satisfied and had to be installed by hand (openssl). Might be a problem within openssl. Worth even, the problem occured at runtime, not during installation. Ellert will check it later (see the thread in ng-disc).
ALICE VOBox is being set up on Abel.
Oslo has an issue with wrong proxies (roles in proxies are getting mixed up, unclear where is the problem), see bug #3685, issue is still unsolved, David is investigating.
EMI-ES: no support for priorities in ADL, so the info is getting lost, David submitted bug #3687.
Aleksandr fixed few bugs, also working on bringing event driven branch to usable level.
Transition to git**b is much awaited, esp. since e-mail notifications from SVN stopped working.
== Release
5.4.0 is in EPEL testing, but a bugfix would be nice to have soon. 5.4.1 would be before 6.0.0, maybe even in a week. Can even have #3687 in. Conclusion: bugfix in 2 week (by October 13).
== Bugs
* 3686 - reopened but unassigned
* 3617 - may need a title change
Many bugfixes that would mandate a bugfix release
== A.O.B.
Discussion about arc/__init__.py needs a packaging expert (see ARC devel chat).
No news on the technical meeting in Ljubljana.
