Agenda

Discussion

• Should ACS forward the cbStop callback to the receivers when coming from the unexpected StartState / StopState states?
  • ICT-21093 - Getting issue details... STATUS
  • ICT-20598 - Getting issue details... STATUS  
  • Stakeholders will read about the tickets and give feedback about the issue at hand
• ACS wants to change lib/python/site-packages for the official lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages

  • bash_profile.acs would use:

    python -c 'import os, sys; print(os.path.join("lib", "python%d.%d" % sys.version_info[:2], "site-packages"))'

  • If needed an env variable could be set with that info. For instance PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES_SUFFIX
  • It simplifies several things when installing packages using pip to INTROOT/INTLIST/ACSROOT without resorting to special tricks
  • A good approach is to make use of a symlink during a transition period
    • We need to consider transition for ICT, but also for operations
• RHEL upgrade scheme
  • Starting with RHEL 9 the delivery cycle is going to be faster (~3 years)
  • A discussion needs to be held probably in 6-18 months in the future

Short Term (2022OCT)

• Maintenance (Bug-fixing / Improvements)
• Obsolescence Management
  • Java Dependencies (12)
    • Replace deprecated JMS selector: Remove csselector and make use of activemq's selector
  • Python Dependencies <=2020 (13)
    • Also adding unfixed version of transitive dependencies (68)
  • Extjars to be installed through Maven
  • Cleaner installation of third party dependencies on ARCHIVE and ICD
• Upload Cycle 9 ACS / ARCHIVE / ICD / CONTROL artifacts – 2022OCT
• Continue NC implementation study – 2022OCT
  • https://bitbucket.sco.alma.cl/projects/ALMA/repos/almasw/compare/diff?sourceBranch=refs%2Fheads%2Fnc-refactoring&targetRepoId=13
• Make the coverage mechanics work again – 2022OCT
