on recent work</a> (Mark)
<ul>
<li> Mark reviewed recent work building and using
Singularity containers.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li> We will continue to pursue the scheme whereby the
container has only system files (mainly those
available from the target Linux distribution) and the
GlueX software stack is built in an external directory
that is maintained separately from the container. This
is how things have been done on the OSG for some time
now. The next step for the OSG is to update Oasis with
the latest software versions. Mark has a candidate
build for this.</li>
<li> Docker containers are used as the starting point
for both OSG and NERSC efforts. Each container can be
represented by a GitHub repository containing only a
few configuration files. We would like to have a few
such standard containers represented under the
Jefferson Lab organization on GitHub. Mark will clone
one of Richard's repositories as a start.</li>
<li> Mark will report on some of this discussion at the
upcoming collaboration meeting.</li>
<li> Next meeting: we will meet again in two weeks, same
time.</li>
