Agenda

  1. Developer status update on Hand-over of software and all specification documents and change logs:
    1. ALL - Web Admin Jar - 0.7b - supports grouping and description in service.properties.
      1. Michalis - new versions expected when? Michalis is waiting some files from Paul and Gina to polish the look and feel. Once he gets them he will have the final release of web admin at 1-2 days. Meantime he's trying to make any changes that can be made without these files.
        1. ACTION NEW: Loukik to send email asking for change logs to reflect version of web admin to all developers.
      2. Michalis suggests that the developers write a document with information about the wizard configuration for their services. ACTION NEW Loukik to talk to Michalis and Gina about Installation actions document planning.
    2. Candido - Authentication Service
      1. Documentation and change log complete, available on SVN trunk.
      2. Software - There is a new RC3 in the SVN. Cándido is waiting for the new version of the webadmin jar to release the RC4 including the new template of log4j.properties. Cándido got no news on testing from David and Patricia.
      3. Testing update (David and Patricia) - scripts are ready, result codes for the AS are here.
        1. ACTION ONGOING: David to send to Cándido the messages sent to the service, to ensure that they are the ones expected.
        2. ACTION ONGOING: David to do functional test on the AS, including the registration and echo-ping.
        3. David and Patricia are testing the RPMs, but they have found a problem with the perfsonar-tomcat rpm file, because its Tomcat doesn't work.

        1. What to use on Debian and Free BSD instead of RPMs? Roman suggested creating WAR files and putting then in Tomcat. Roman has already created war files for RRD-MA and SQL-MA latest RCs.
