Announcements¶

BrianL out today Mat out this afternoon and tomorrow

AI (Mat): Create secondary instance of repo.openscience.org on the UChicago River cluster.
AI (Mat): Test vault/htvault-config/htgettoken
AI (Brian): Set osg-flock VOOverride to "osg"
AI (TimT): Release HTCondors 9.0.8 and 9.4.0

Tim added "devops-minefield" repos to osg-release; this can be tested manually.
Marco:
- GlideinWMS 3.7.6 is in progress; most GitHub issues have been merged, as well as a new check for expired tokens. A release candidate is expected later today.
- The GlideinWMS license is changing from Fermi-modified BSD to Apache2; using REUSE (reuse.software) and SPDX (spdx.org), which make managing licenses in source code very convenient; these might be also be useful for other OSG projects and HTCondor team.

BNL (Mat): debug authentication issues when accessing an xrootd server using WebDAV
Lancium (Mat, BrianL): debug not finding Singularity in backfill container
GATech (Derek): Gratia probe is reporting a lot of groups.

Stashcp now supports recursive downloads. Release upcoming. How should we handle packaging of stashcache-client in OSG repos?
- Some stashcp debugging is in order for proxy support.
xrootd-monitoring-shoveler running at UCSD and Florida (RPM) and UNL (K8s)
Go packaging:
- No network for builds, so deps come from EPEL or from a dependency bundle.
- Derek will investigate what dependencies are already in EPEL (likely all of them)
