LArSoft Project Report [Erica Snider]
======================================
- structure of LArSoft repository is going to change
- [Brian Rebel] for changes in nutools, NOvA is also involved and their priorities will make it unlikely for this kind of changes to be in nutools before six months
- [Brian Rebel] if possible, we would like to avoid nutools branches
- library file names are also going to change
- all is very scriptable
- [Gianluca Petrillo] when library names change will not affect FHiCL configurations
- [Herbert Greenlee] is the library name change related to LArLite integration too? A: not strictly, but it will help
- if there are no objections, the change will be performed
- document areas have been prepared, upload can be requested
- there will be different types of "getting started": pure LArSoft and links to experiment-specific guides
Conclusions:
- e-mail will be sent to discuss the reformatting proposal; expecting feedback in the time scale of one week
- v05_00_00_rc1 (will) have these structural changes in
Architecture Review [Gianluca Petrillo]
==================================================
Continuous Integration Report [Vito Di Benedetto]
==================================================
- the test configuration planned for production includes LArSoft, DUNE and MicroBooNE
- it takes about 24 minutes
- other experiment code can also be added, no relevant slowdown expected in that case
Event mixing in art [Wesley Ketchum]
=====================================
- merge information from different events into one
art has template functions for mixing filters
- used e.g. to overlay background data to simulated interesting events
- a few small problems left to iron out, but in general it works fine
- call: who is interested in developing some common LArSoft infrastructure for event mixing?
- experiments should think to contribute to this effort to make this general
=====================================
Request from Gleb: lareventdisplay changes by Gianluca that are in feature/gp_FasterDigits should be available in the next release
