<h3><span class="mw-headline"
id="Report_from_the_last_HDGeant4_Meeting">Report from
the last HDGeant4 Meeting</span></h3>
<p>We went over <a
href="https://halldweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/HDGeant4_Meeting,_October_22,_2019#Minutes"
title="HDGeant4 Meeting, October 22, 2019">the minutes
from the meeting on October 22</a>.
</p>
<ul>
<li> Igal wondered if our physics list needs updating.
He will post an issue on the HDGeant4 GitHub site.</li>
<li> We discussed missing random triggers. If MCwrapper
happens to do its pre-run test on a run with not
random triggers, the entire job series is stopped. The
basic problem is that some runs were taken without
random triggers. This should be caught with some sort
of monitoring technique, but apparently the current
techniques are inadequate, and no further work is on
this is planned. Alex and Sean proposed substituting
PS triggers for the missing random triggers but Beni
strongly objected to this scheme. He would like to use
random triggers from nearby runs. No volunteers for
this endeavor came forward.</li>
</ul>
<h3><span class="mw-headline"
id="Review_of_recent_issues_and_pull_requests">Review
of recent issues and pull requests</span></h3>
<p>We started going over unresolved <a rel="nofollow"
class="external text"
href="https://github.com/JeffersonLab/halld_recon/issues?q=is%3Aissue">issues
for halld_recon</a> but did not have a lot of fruitful
discussion. Many of the issues are very old, and no one
has worked on their resolution for a while. Dropping the
issues altogether was thought unwise; real problems had
been identified when they were opened. We will to
through and try to re-assess status offline.
</p>
<h3><span class="mw-headline"
id="Updating_Support_Software_Versions">Updating
Support Software Versions</span></h3>
<p>Beni pointed out that many of our support software
versions are very old now. Examples are Xerces, ROOT,
Python, and there are others. Mark has started work on a
build with the latest Xerces version and will roll that
into a future release. We agreed it was a good idea to
do a similar thing with the other stale packages.
</p>
<p>Going to Python 3 is a particular problem in that much
of our Python code is not compatible. Mostly it is the
print statements without parentheses, but that still
means files have to be edited to work with Python 3.
This may need a group effort.
