<p>Folks,</p>
<p>We have been discussing the split of the <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/JeffersonLab/sim-recon">sim-recon
repository</a> into two independent repositories for many weeks
now. The new repositories will be called <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/JeffersonLab/halld_sim">halld_sim</a>
and <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/JeffersonLab/sim-recon">halld_recon</a>
(these links are only to test versions of the new repositories).
After the split, changes to sim-recon will no longer be allowed.
All new development will go to the new repositories.<br>
</p>
<p><b>If you would like your sim-recon code to be included in the
new repositories, you need to push your changes to the sim-recon
repository at GitHub before the split is performed,
close-of-business, Tuesday, July 17.</b></p>
<p>More detail appears in the <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://halldweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/GlueX_Offline_Meeting,_July_13,_2018#Minutes">minutes
of today's offline software meeting</a> and is reproduced here:</p>
<p>To transition from sim-recon (unified system) to halld_sim and
halld_recon (split system), we will have to change several things
at the same time (or nearly the same time). We agreed on the
following schedule.<br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>Early Monday, July 16: deploy the new version of build_scripts
as the default at JLab. This version supports both the unified
and split systems and should require no changes by users.</li>
<li>Close of business, Tuesday, July 17: deadline for pushes to
the unified system. Changes not committed and pushed to the
unified system will not make it to the split system. Also note
that for the halld_sim directories, they must appear on the
master branch as well. All existing from sim-recon will appear
in halld_recon.</li>
<li>Early morning Wednesday, July 18: default configuration at
JLab changes to split system.<br>
</li>
</ol>
