[Halld-online] Directory names in /gluex

[Alexander Somov]

Hi Elliott,

I am sorry for the late response.

The directory structure will be finalized when we start
working with sub-detectors (various setups, firmware/software
releases). We will eventually see how it should be
organized in the optimal way.

At the moment, I am Ok with directories we have and don't think
that the dir structure is confusing. As I've mentioned some time,
ago, we are using  /gluex/devel, /gluex/release and
/gluex/setups. Some reorganization is possible when we understand
  how to do it in a better way.

I would rather focus on reading out sub-detectors and doing
required calibration than spending hours on the dir structure
discussion (but I agree, that we should discuss it at certain
point)


Cheers,
       Alex
