JRA1 Work Plans

Introduction

The first version of this page corresponds to the content of the JRA1 milestone document MJRA1.3.

A snapshot of this page at the time of the submission of the JRA1 milestone document MJRA1.6 is available at https://edms.cern.ch/file/816743/1/EGEE_EGEEgLiteWorkPlans-MJRA1.6.pdf.

The main priority for the JRA1 developers will be the support to the production infrastructure. All the activities implicit in the preparation of the gLite 3.1 release will continue. These include the full adoption of the ETICS build system, the support for SL4 and of the gcc 3.4 compiler, the migration to VDT 1.6.0 and higher. Support to 64bit architectures will be provided as soon as the previous points are fulfilled. Support of other platforms will be provided starting from Linux Debian distributions.

The complexity of the gLite middleware makes difficult to make modifications in order to support new platforms. The need for structural changes, in particular dis-entangling of dependencies, in the gLite distribution was identified. To improve the situation it was proposed to make a radical examination of the code base with a view to removing unnecessary dependencies and cleaning up sections of the code that cause build and porting difficulties. This process, known as the gLite restructuring, started recently as part of the migration to SL4, and will continue until at least the summer of 2007. The gLite restructuring process coexists with the current activities needed to support the applications on the production infrastructure, i.e. critical bug fixing, provision of security patches, important improvements in the middleware that are recognized as critical by the applications and the TCG.

Detailed work plans

A few activities do not appear explicitly in the prioritized list because are supposed to be addressed by all developers:

• Revision of the documentation and of the functional relations among components.
• Activities related to interoperability with other projects and adherence to international standards.

With only a few exceptions the performance and stability requirements do not have an explicit requirement in the TCG Prioritized list and thus the number is not reported.

The explanation of the table content is the following:

Text in red corresponds to items not yet approved by the TCG. Text in green corresponds the software tags where functionality was first implemented (where applicable). As we now have to accomodate two years, the dates should now be expressed with the year appended such as: April07 etc.

The plans for the SWITCH partner on Shibboleth interoperability are described in dedicated documents ( MJRA1.4, MJRA1.5, and MJRA1.7).

The detailed plans for CREAM are available on the CREAM Checklist page.
