Minutes of the LIM meeting, Oct 20, 2005

Actions:

The last quarterly update from RedHat for RHEL4 (the base for SLC4) has upgraded the compiler from version 3.4.3 to 3.4.4, implying a "fallback" to this compiler version (3.4.4) for the certification and the porting on SLC3 for ia32 and amd64. In the last AF Atlas has stated their need for a build with gcc 3.4.4 also for the SLC3 IA32 platform.

Therefore the new set of platforms will be (once the porting has been done): slc3_ia32_gcc344, slc3_amd64_gcc344, slc4_ia32_gcc344 and slc4_amd64_gcc344.

GENSER 1.2.0 is being released. This version will also have tarballs for the individual generators available for download (see the genser web page).

SEAL 1.7.5 has been updated "in place" for an urgent fix requested by LHCb. POOL 2.2.3, PI 1.3.8 and COOL 1.2.5 are being build based on this release. This series of releases is still a developers release to validate the Reflex based POOL.

New issues:
