Summit
Dave Rogers and Ken Moreland have to go to a workshop on June 7-8. To give them room, we are tentatively scheduling for June 4-5 (Monday and Tuesday).
AIX Compile Issues
Problems:
- Compile all: when conversion .py to .pyc is trying to capture the screen.
- John remembers a similar problem where a python module has the same name as an imagemagic command, and hilarity ensues.
- Disabling the compile all works. The only consequence is that the .pyc files are not created. They will be created on the first run anyway, assiming the user has write access to the install directories. Otherwise, the .py files will need to be parsed every time. It is unknown what the effect of that would be.
- When the build gets to the extract document steps, it is returning error 128, which is causing the build to fail.
- Will submit error codes for this.
Programable filter
Skipping this week because of missing people.
New Exodus Reader
Clint has been working on other stuff. He will bump that up on his priority.
LSDyna Reader
Does LSDyna work with the new time support?
We need to readdress the bug report: It should be a priority 4 (we need it for DART support), and we should reassign the owner to be not Dave Thompson.
Prism plugin
We are having serious problems distributing the Prism application. Rather than futz with it more, we are dumping the application and moving strictly to the plugin.
Due to weird funding sources, the plugin can go into the PV repository. It should be moved there, added to the dashboard builds, and have tests that run nightly. This will help with the issues we have been having with version mismatch.
There is still a problem with not having multi-output objects.
Ken needs to talk with Dave Rogers about who actually working on Prism.
