[Halld-offline] [EXTERNAL] Re: Alma9 docker container

[Sean Dobbs]

Hi Beni,

Thanks for trying this out and sharing your notes - we will take them
into account.

Regarding CERNLIB - I would just remove it from your XML file for now.
We are considering about whether or not to continue supporting that
package.

Please note that CCDB and some simulation-related packages don't
currently build successfully out of the box, so don't expect to be
able to go all of the way through without a problem.  This packages
are still being worked on.

Cheers,
Sean
