OSG Software Team

  • OSG 3.5.18
    • AI (BrianL): Automatically remove completed jobs after 30 days (SOFTWARE-4108)
    • AI (Diego): Build XRootD 4.12.2 (SOFTWARE-4063)
    • AI (Diego): Build XRootD plugin .so's based on XRootD version (SOFTWARE-4093)
  • GSI/GridFTP migration
    • AI (Edgar): test new GFAL client available in EPEL testing with XRootD 4 and 5
    • AI (Edgar): Update a VO frontend to GlideinWMS 3.7
    • AI (Carl): OASIS manager + COManage endpoint (SOFTWARE-3947)
  • Enterprise Linux 8
    • AI (Edgar): Test built XRootD packages (lower prio)
    • AI (Mat): Build osg-wn-client tarball (SOFTWARE-4050)
    • AI (Mat): Get CentOS 8 images ready for VMU tests (SOFTWARE-4072)

Discussion

  • xrootd-hdfs and xrootd-lcmaps currently don't create versioned shared libs. Now that XRootD advertises its major version, it should be reflected in the plugin shared libs.
  • AI (BrianL): create ticket for testing GFAL client for Edgar
  • AI (BrianL): discuss Cybera CE management with Jeff and Igor
  • AI (Diego): noticed that development label of the atlas-xcache container is old. This is expected so he should delete that label from Docker Hub and update the documentation to use fresh instead.
  • EL8 Bosco tarballs fail to build with the new BLAHP source. We don't have a pressing need for this yet but would like this to be resolved in the HTCondor 9.0.0 release

Support Update

  • Bellarmine (Mat): CE wasn't accepting pilots, turned out to be an old osg-ca-certs version
  • GLOW (Mat): GLOW cache also experienced problems due to the out-of-date osg-ca-certs. Mat will follow-up with Operations to see why check_mk tests didn't catch this
  • JLab (Edgar): working on security questionnaires so that he can continue setting up services (also has to fill out questionnaires for BNL and FNAL)

Discussion

  • AI (TimT): assign Frontier Squid, XCache, and xrootd-lcmaps tickets to Edgar so he can let us know if he's testing the latest versions in his container deployments
  • HTCondor 8.9.7 will be re-released this week but we need to review Jason's update instructions to publish them ourselves and/or modify the packaging so that manual interventions aren't required
  • Horst has tested and verified the VOMS update

OSG Investigations Team

  • Derek out today
  • Want to do gracc 2 switchover soon; will wait until Derek's back and also need (another) reindex.
