Agenda

Short Term (2022AUG)

• Maintenance (Bug-fixing / Improvements)
  
  • Reduce the number of warnings in ACS source code
  • Prevent Castor logs flooding
• Obsolescence Management
  • RHEL 8 only release
  • No obsolescence management since 2022AUG is bug-fix only release
  • Improve SCCB changes impact assessment – 2022AUG
    • ACS Build Farm will build the ALMA SW before an early pre-release
    • Subsystems will be warned whether their subsystems need to fix anything for the upcoming changes
      • This will be done in the same e-mail sent with the early pre-release tarballs
      • We will collaborate with IRM for the creation of relevant tickets around the same date
    • The objective is to make sure all subsystems are made compile-compatible before the release date
• Upload Cycle 8 ACS / ARCHIVE / ICD / CONTROL artifacts – 2022AUG
• Component Caller API Security proposal – 2022AUG
• Continue NC implementation study – 2022AUG → 2022OCT
  • https://bitbucket.sco.alma.cl/projects/ALMA/repos/almasw/compare/diff?sourceBranch=refs%2Fheads%2Fnc-refactoring&targetRepoId=13
