• 1.0.0 release experiences/status
  • According to the users, there is are no major issues with the latest version. Class development works fine.
  • Harald Braüning reported a bug which is related to multible use of GSI-specific fields.
  • Cosylab will start to use 1.0.0 when they have the usability "ok" of Harald Bräuning
  • When doing the next major release we will introduce two weeks of "commissioning" on the central development-envoronment(asl73x) before delivery to other systems. This will allow us to fix crucial release-bugs on the fly for two weeks, without increasing the version-number.

• CMW-Installation RPM/script
  • Currently there are two possibilities to install CMW ( See attachment )
    • Via the RPM-Installer ( global-installation)
      • Dependency-links between the different cmw-packages are located in the installation-directory of fesa (via softlinks)
    • Via a script from Vitaliy Rapp ( local-installation )
      • Each cmw-package defines it's dependencies to other packages in the lib/include folder (via softlinks)
  • The current global installation makes it difficult to link e.g. cmw-clients ( or later UNIKOS-applications). Since they dont depend on any fesa-version, they should not need to use the links in the fesa-directory. However if they want to use the /opt/cmw directly, they dont know which versions of the cmw-packages belong together in the current global-installation.
  • The FE-Int team agreed that we have to provide the softlinks in the cmw-folders as well in the global-installation of cmw for the next release. (like in the local-installation)
  • The dependency-links between the different cmw-packages in the installation-directory of fesa probably can be removed.

• FE-Int meeting Timing-Interface
  • Together with Dietrich Beck we will discuss the FESA - API of the Timing receiver (Which properties, etc. ).
  • Alexander Schwinn will make some proposals, in order to have a base for the discussion.
  • The date for this will be the 14.08.

• Implementation of the Beam-Process concept in FESA
  • Some work here has to be done from the Timing-Team ( How to mask the data of the timing-events )
  • For the next FE-Int meeting Alexander Schwinn will provide some proposals, how the FESA-clyce-selector for clients (when using properties) could look like

• SCU's with 64Bit processor
  • According to Vitaliy Rapp and Ludwig Hechler, the hardware team does some effort to provide SCU's which run a 64-Bit processor.
  • Ludwig Hechler will ask if the 64-Bit SCU's already will be usable for the MCS
