Changes upcoming tomorrow:

1. Tomorrow's maintainence day (June 18, third Tuesday of every month) for JLab's scicomp is supposed to include (probably there will be an email to [jlab-scicomp-briefs at jlab.org](https://mailman.jlab.org/pipermail/jlab-scicomp-briefs/) soon):
    * the end of all el7 nodes on the *batch* farm
    * the switch of `ssh ifarm` to be an alias/round-robin for el9 interactive nodes (not el7)
      * el7 *ifarm* nodes should still be accessible via their hostname, e.g., `ssh ifarm1901`

2. And I'd like to do the change proposed in last week's CLAS12 software meeting:
    * https://clasweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/Agendas,_minutes,_notes_and_related_documents, https://clasweb.jlab.org/wiki/images/f/fb/Baltzell-env-20240613.pdf
    * In short, the environment `setup.[c]sh` scripts are deprecated.  They will still work and do what they did before, but will print a warning message with the new, simpler method.  The documentation linked from the software wiki will be updated.
