---++ MPU Meeting 24th July 2006

   $ Mac mini : A Mac mini has been purchased to allow software building. Chris will install and configure (ACTION: Chris %W%)

   $ Packages/Release problem : Stephen has found a subtle bug in the server which was causing the problem. This is now fixed. Stephen will add an appropriate regression test (ACTION: Stephen %W%).

   $ Touching headers when making a release : we agreed that that touching all headers before issuing a release was a pragmatic solution, but we want to revisit this sometime Sept/Oct. (Added to deferred list).

   $ Releases mechanism for FC3 : we agreed that we want to have more experience of the releases mechanism, primarily the procedural aspect, before introducing the releases mechanism for FC3 machines

   $ Disk partition install problems : Alastair will investigate the reported problems with FC5 disk partitioning (ACTION: Alastair %W%).

   $ Procedures documentation : we need to build up documentation of our procedures. Alastair has created a WIKI topic (MPUInternalProcedures) as a home for these. We should now populate this, at least with placemarkers (ACTION: ALL %W%).

   $ installbase : Alastair will look at whether the installbase profile is still required (ACTION: Alastair %W%).

   $ achilles performance : we discovered that the reason for achilles' poor performance is the continual rsyncs from the LCFG servers. We should purchase a faster machine for the upgrade to FC5 and/or consider a separate server. Chris will also look at tweaking some of the LCFG servers to reduce their fetch frequency. (ACTION: Chris %Y%). 

   $ achilles log files : /disk/home/achilles has plenty of space, so Chris will look at remounting this partition as /var/lcfg/log. (ACTION: Chris %Y%)
