Technical coordination group members and invited persons

24 October 2017, 14:05 - 15:15

Present: David, Maiken, Mattias, Balazs, Aleksandr, Anders, Oxana

== News

Balazs iterated with Gabor regarding JURA reconfiguration, replacement for Gabor is needed as he has no much free time. SVN is back after disk crash, recovered. Maiken works on localplugin documentation.

== Release

A reminder: event-driven branch is most complete, has everything from arcconf branch and the trunk. Some discussion on whether we need to sync it back to trunk, or whether we just take this branch as the new trunk for ARC 6, esp in view of Gitlab migration. The real question, what branches need nightly builds. 

Decisions:

* ARC 6 will be developed in the branch that was so far called event_driven_job_processing 
* Trunk is open, commits relevant to 6.0 will be merged into 6.0 branch. Commits specific to ARC 6 should go directly to the 6.0 branch
* event_driven_job_processing branch will be renamed 6.0
* arcconf_restructuring branch is closed; changes should go directly to 6.0 branch

The nighlty builds are needed for:
 * trunk
 * 6.0 branch (formerly known as event_driven branch)

Builds for 5.4. branch are not needed for now, but can be enabled when needed (e.g. for new OS builds)

A development branch, distinct from the release branch, will be needed.

Release preparations are traced in Wiki: http://wiki.nordugrid.org/wiki/Preparation_major_release_2017

Next weekly will be extended, to include other developers; will be moved to Wednesday at 10:00.

== Bugs

Only relatively minor new bugs, including a feature request to accommodate the localplugin.
 

== A.O.B.

* Software citation requires a new CITATION file in the trunk; the exact procedure may involve uploading  tarball to Zenodo or such, or maybe not, if Gitlab incorporates the functionality. The CITATION file is needed anyway.

* Ljubljana meeting might indeed take place on Nov 21-24
