Workstations were updated. This was an OS packages update and a conda packages update.
The conda update includes:
This environment updates ndscope to 0.22.3. This changes ndscope to use the ARRAKIS_SERVER environment variable to connect to an Arrakis server. Add "--arrakis" at the command line to select ARRAKIS_SERVER. "--arrakis-server <arrakis-url>" will use a the specified URL.
diaggui has been updated to 4.2.3. It also now uses the ARRAKIS_SERVER variable to populate the Arrakis URL box on the input tab.
diag 4.2.3 now has its own "--arrakis" option to connect to ARRAKIS_SERVER when the "open" command is given.
emacs has been added in an attempt to get newer emacs on to CDS workstations.
A large number packages aimed at ldas analysis pipelines have been dropped because of incompatibilities.
