<p>Folks,</p>
<p>We are changing the value of the BMS_OSNAME environment
variable. Some user-owned directories will need patching to work
with the new scheme. A script to do the patching will be
available (see below). This action was discussed and endorsed at
recent Software Meetings.</p>
<p>The change occurs when we update from Build Scripts version
2.34 to version 3.0.<b> This will occur at JLab at 8:00 am, on
Wednesday, June 8.</b></p>
<p>Note<b>: </b>there is a test version of the new Build Scripts
checked out at /group/halld/Software/build_scripts-3.0 for those
who would like to test the new arrangement.<br>
</p>
<p>This change will affect you if you have any private builds of
certain GlueX packages (e.g., halld_recon, halld_sim) or if you
have personal plugins in your HALLD_MY directory. Also people
who maintain their own GLUEX_TOP directories will have to apply
a patch. You will know that you have been affected if you start
to suddenly get file-not-found-like errors.</p>
<p>The script to patch your directories is
$BUILD_SCRIPTS/change_bms_osname.sh. The usage message is</p>
<pre>usage: change_bms_osname.sh <target>
where target is one of
"jlab": convert the /group/halld/Software/builds tree at JLab (script must be
executed from a directory named "builds")
"gluex_top": convert a GLUEX_TOP tree (GLUEX_TOP must be defined in the
environment)
"halld_my": convert a HALLD_MY tree (HALLD_MY must be defined in the
environment)
"jana": convert a jana tree (JANA_HOME must be defined in the environment)
"hdds": convert a hdds tree (HDDS_HOME must be defined in the environment)
"halld_recon": convert a halld_recon tree (HALLD_RECON_HOME must be defined in
the environment)
"halld_sim": convert a halld_sim tree (HALLD_SIM_HOME must be defined in the
environment)
"gluex_root_analysis": convert a gluex_root_analysis tree (ROOT_ANALYSIS_HOME
must be defined in the environment)
</pre>
<p>So, for example, if you want to patch your private build of
halld_sim, the command is</p>
<pre>$BUILD_SCRIPTS/change_bms_osname.sh halld_sim</pre>
<p>The script uses the definition of HALLD_SIM_HOME that it finds
in your environment to identify the directory to be patched.</p>
<p>Basically, since BMS_OSNAME appears in the directory structure
for our packages, links have to be added, from new name to old
name, to keep the built package viable after the change.</p>
<p>A table of old and new BMS_OSNAME definitions is attached.</p>
