Dear ROC, CIC, Site-mangers, and EIS link persons,
on July 29th we released LCG-2_6_0. This release is now out since
more than 30 days and there are over 69 sites that have been upgraded
and several additional where the client libs of 2_6_0 have been
provided via the user level software installation mechanism.
The release has seen 2 upgrades, mainly related to YAIM problems.
On August 3rd we did a local post mortem of the release. A rough
summary can be seen here:
https://uimon.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/LCG-2_6_0
we then started collecting input for "wish list" for LCG-2_7_0, this
list is not complete and not prioritized, just a draft.
The list can be seen here:
https://uimon.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/LCG-2_7_0
Assuming the regular release cycle the release date should be 1st of
October.
With the time it takes to push the release through the local and
remote tests we have to keep in mind that the integration and initial
testing phase
has to come to an end on Friday the 9th of September.
This is rather soon now and we need a better understanding on the
relative priorities of the different tasks and additional components
that we might need to add.
Please have a look at the list and sent me suggestions and describe
your priorities.
