LPC news and recent developments:

Version 1.35 of the roadmap document is now available.

Transparenecies for Liz's talk on the new framework and edm project, given at the general USCMS meeting is posted here for archival purposes.

Shaun Ashby's slides from the SCRAM V1 Tutorial given at CERN. These are useful for those participating in the EDM redesign project since the EDM project uses scramv1 on SL3 machines only. Also Natalia has prepared a shorter presentation specifically for EDM developers.

Accessing the LPC_EDM Wiki

The LPC_EDM Wiki , previously linked directly from the LPC WORKING GROUPS page, is instead accessible from here .

LPC Wiki Pages

A Wiki is a page automatically generated from an easily editable source, suitable for posting multi-contributor technical discussions on the web.

The following Wiki's for LPC topics exist:

LPC Documents are kept in a DocDB database.

Instructions for how to access a document, or to add or modify your own document, are here.

How to Access the LPC cvs Repository

To browse the contents of the CVS repository click here  (select lpc in the CVS root tab).
To obtain read-only access to the LPC cvs repository (which allows you to check out and update LPC packages):

• setenv CVSROOT = :pserver:anonymous@cdcvs.fnal.gov:/cvs/lpc
• In your home directory, the file .cvspass must contain the line
  

  	Somebody should fill this in.
  	

• If your .cvspass file does not contain the above line, you can instead login with the password lpc .

This provides access even if the local system does not use Kerberos for secure logins.

To obtain write privilege for a specific LPC package, which goes via the CVSROOT

Somebody should fill this in

Write access to the LPC repository does require Kerberos. So if you have write privileges make sure your have a valid kerberos ticket and set:

• setenv CVSROOT lpccvs@cdcvs.fnal.gov:/cvs/lpc

For any questions and to request write access  please contact the  LPC cvs administrators.

The LPC Packages

The LPC packages are split into three categories:

1. Packages in LPC-production (relatively mature) status
   Production packages have:
   • Feature Logs for change management and discussion of proposed enhancements
   • Problem Tracking for quick perusal of bugs, either open or corrected in the past
2. Packages available but not declared production
   These are appropiate for use in developing code, but are not yet under change management.
3. Packages which during development were in the LPC repository but which are now part of the official CMS software.

Adding to Offline Coordination Pages

The source of the pages is kept in cvs, in the WebPages subdirectory of the Documentation package. Contributers can check out that package, make changes (including adding files) locally, and check the package back in.

(We request that you use relative links only for other web pages in this package, and that you exercise each new link you have added, to see that the links all resolve properly.)

An hourly cron job will automatically pull the modified pages over to the place where the publicly accessible LPC web pages are being served. Thus the modified pages should be available to all, within one hour of the cvs check in.

Not ready yet.
