We discovered some build issues which meant we missed today's deadline to upgrade the CDS frontends and DAQ to RCG3.0. We are now ready for a second try tomorrow.
The main issue was tracked to a difference in the version of PERL running on the build machines, with h1build running 5.8.8 and l1build running 5.12.2. A condition statement in the perl module SUM.pm was performing a comparison with the return of a length() call with a null string ( eq "" ) which works with the later version but not with the older version. This line was changed to a numeric comparison ( == 0) which works for all versions.
Several other build issues:
- Changes to common parts required changes to SUS-AUX models to resync the DAQ block with the channel names (TPs were replaced with filtermodules, so DAQ channel names now end in _OUT_DQ).
- Latest version of sus/common/models/STATE_BIO_MASTER.mdl installed to support the reduction of inputs to the TOP function call from 6 to 5 inputs.
- Installed cds/h1/src/ccodeio.h and cds/common/src/ccodeio.h files.
- LSC and PSLISS filter files were not symbolic links from chans to userapps, this was fixed and changes committed to repository
Rolf has included the SUM.pm fix in the next tagged release RCG3.0.2
Betsy has some SUS changes she will install first thing Tuesday morning. After this we will do a clean build and install before shutting all systems down for the upgrade.
