[Halld-offline] Splitting sim-recon: push your changes by 5 pm today (Mon. July 30) [Re: push deadline postponed; new deadline to be discussed]

[Justin Stevens]

Hi Mark,

Thanks for pushing forward with the split.  I’m updating my build now and here’s a couple notes I have so far:

-The sim components have been removed from halld_recon, but halld_sim seems to still have all the source code from halld_recon.  It seems these recon libraries are not built in halld_sim, but you plan to remove this duplicated code, right?
-David’s recent changes to SBMS seem to have been backed out by the initial commits to both halld_recon and halld_sim.  I assume that was by accident?

-Justin

Also if you have questions on the new system, consider asking them on gluex-software at googlegroups.com <mailto:gluex-software at googlegroups.com>. The thread may be useful to all.

In particular, if you have changes to the "sim" directories (see below) you need to get them onto the master branch by submitting a pull request. The "sim" directories are:
