Announcements¶

Triage duty shifts Tue-Mon

Release
- AI (Mat): XCache and osg-xrootd mapfile-related releases
Kubernetes Hackathon
- AI (Mat): Flux v1 -> v2 transition
- AI (BrianL): review Helm chart CI, investigate path-facility-admin RBAC issues and Expanse user namespace issues

The script that tests upgrades from HTCondor 9 to 10 needs improvements; there will be an updated release soon.
The release of HTCondor 10.0.4 is waiting for scitokens-cpp 1.0.2 to be released.
Derek and Fabio are debugging why the open and close times for transfers are the same; this leads to reporting an infinite amount of bandwidth since the reported transfer time is zero

AMNH (BrianL): issues mounting CVMFS, no luck getting debug logs
Fermilab (BrianL): WLCG folks are worried about accounting for VO information with tokens. (OSG SW and GRACC look at the SciToken issuer.) Steve Timm ran into a problem where multiple VOs were using a single AP where DAGMan-created jobs don't have any of the auth token attributes. There is a workaround since Steve's jobs still have VOMS attributes but passing the token attributes requires HTCondor changes.
SDSC (Mat): The OSDF authfile generator service was renamed and the documentation wasn't updated with the new paths; Mat made a PR to fix the documentation.

APEL accounting updates for new HEPScore benchmark.
- Derek will try to schedule meetings with USCMS and USATLAS groups to present the (minor) changes to topology.
OSDF client director, Derek needs to review.

None this week
