              <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Announcements">Announcements</span></h3>
              <p>Today, pull request tests have been failing due to a
                missing RPM on sandd1.jlab.org, where the tests run.
                hdgeant4 could not find one of its shared libraries.
                Mark submitted a request to have the
                boost-python36-devel package installed.

                  minutes from the last meeting</span></h3>
              <p>We went over the <a href="https://halldweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/HDGeant4_Meeting,_August_10,_2021#Minutes" title="HDGeant4 Meeting, August 10, 2021">minutes from
                  the meeting on August 10</a>. We discussed <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://github.com/JeffersonLab/HDGeant4/issues/181">Issue
                  #181</a>: G3/G4 Difference in FDC wire efficiency at
                the cell boundary. Alex has posted his efficiency
                measurement on bggen events. Using an old version of the
                reconstruction code, he shows a similar difference in
                efficiency when compared to simulated ρ events as
                Richard showed with modern reconstruction.
              </p>
              <p>We came to the conclusion that further investigation
                was getting into the region of diminishing marginal
                returns and the changes already made to mcsmear are a
                bit advance over what we had before. Alex will close
                this issue. If further investigation turns out to be
                necessary, the issue can be re-raised for the halld_sim
                repository.
