2. Changes since last report
Porting Framework to S6.1 is set aside for now as low priority
Does not look impossible
Studies continue on root v5_28_00
Problem(s?) early cause errors in later events
Event processed in isolation doesn’t show same errors
One valgrind complaint seems to come from trying to locate an object with an uninitialized name

3. Still pending
Requested rebuilds of 2 products for SL5
root problem causing intermittent crashes
Want csl_offline, level3_offline stub libraries
csl may exist already?
evd still losing green; lego plot is unusable
Elena is helping: thanks!
cdfSim with 6.2.6int1 still has problems getting the correct root in the tarball (TStreamerInfo)
May be solved
Lynn worked with Philippe to understand the missing dictionaries issue (which may or may not have a bearing on the crashes)
SL6.1 Framework port is on hold as low priority
evd and ProductionExe gave familiar results

4. Tentative Schedule
Lots of
vacations

5. Fallback plans
Crash problem is still not understood. If the problem is too subtle, we may have to fall back on an earlier version. We know that 5.15 works in cdfsoft

6. Schedule Assumptions We give up on root 5.28 and use 5.15
Extra effort to roll-back some changes
We either fix evd or live with wire-frames
No validation problems with or 6.2.4
Easy to move from int1 to final release
SL6 is available by 14-Jan
Only test, not thoroughly validate, on SL6

7. Problems so far 6.2.6int1 did not include all of patch f: alpha—FIXED
Crashes due to root incompatibilities
Few percent level, not reproducible
valgrind on long job spotted root using uninitialized values
cdfSim tarball needed proper scripts and Gflash fix—FIXED
Gflash had a runtime error from a bug—FIXED
dccp works but getFileInfo doesn’t—FIXED?
Sam had to be rebuilt because of oracle11 change—FIXED
TofHitBar bug—FIXED
csl and level3 replacement wanted
