Core Minutes 1/12/2016

• ScienceTools: (Jim)

  • With no Yosemite platform available, he can't track down the segfault FSSC has encountered. (Richard) Noted.
  • What's the status of tip? (Joe) It's ready to go. It was deferred because of AAS meeting.
  • Eric's healpix changes clobbered some of Matthew's work. Once Matthew's changes are merged back in, Jim can get started on other requests.

• FSSC: (Joe) No work to report on [other than imminent new tip; see above]. Note that FSSC will soon drop Mavericks. Supported Mac OSes will be Yosemite and El Capitan.

• Confluence upgrade: (Tom) There have been scattered reports of problems since the upgrade.

• C&A (Richard) There was a C&A meeting yesterday, but nothing impacting us came up.

• Core talk:

  • New GR (Heather) There is a new tagged release, 20-10-04, to address JIRA LPATE-189.

  • Externals (Heather) Once the new tag of tip is available, she can finish up updates of ROOT, python, cfitsio and healpix.

  • Redhat support (Heather) Saclay can survive with ST 10-01-01 on rhel5 for now, but at some point they'll have to move to rhel7 (they have no plans to support rhel6).

  • Command-line installer (Heather) Brian put in a fix: the python script was using old tools to do the http connection (protocol version HTTP 1.0) which weren't up to handling the current set-up. Now list commands are working, but there still is a hang-up with install commands. This may be related to Brian's change. [Heather's hunch was correct. With the new stuff, command responses come back in a different form, which was not being handled correctly. Later this morning Heather managed to get install commands to work.]
