  1. Code and Document Management Paul E. Reimer 21 June 2008

  2. Document Management Fermilab Software DocDB • Developed by BTeV, now widely used at Fermilab • Archives and provides searchable access to documents • For example, see http://des-docdb.fnal.gov/cgi-bin/DocumentDatabase/ Not yet set up for E906/Drell-Yan—we have a choice: • Run at Fermilab either on EPP small experiment server or on DocDB server • Positive: Nothing for collaboration to maintain • Negative: Access requires either DOE or Fermilab Kerberos certificate But there appears to also be a password-only version as well???? • Run DocDB on Drell-Yan web site • Positive: access controlled via .htaccess file—simple password based system • Negative: Need to have DocDB software installed and enabled web site (at Argonne in http://drell-yan.phy.anl.gov) Paul E. Reimer Code and Document Management

  3. Code Management Fermilab CVS server (Concurrent Versions System) • More information on CVS at http://www.nongnu.org/cvs/ • Manual at http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.23/cvs.html • Server address is cdcvs.fnal.gov • Web based access at http://cdcvs0.fnal.gov/cgi-bin/public-cvs/cvsweb-public.cgi/?cvsroot=e906cvs We should host all our software in this central server • fastMC (currently there) • GEANT MC • Analysis Paul E. Reimer Code and Document Management

  4. Code Management CVS access based on either • Fermilab Kerberos certificate • If you have a kerberized machine and a Fermilab Kerberos login, tell me and I will add your Kerberos principal to the authorized data base. • See http://computing.fnal.gov/xms/Services/Getting_Started/Introduction_to_Computing_at_Fermilab to get Fermilab computing account. This can be done remotely • ssh public/private key • Give me a copy of your ssh DSA public key and I will add it to the authorized data base • Under UNIX/LINUX give the command ssh-keygen –t dsa • This will create ~/.ssh/id_dsa and ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub • Protect ~/.ssh/id_dsa and send me (reimer@anl.gov) ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub Paul E. Reimer Code and Document Management

  5. CVS session reimer@reimerlp2 ~/tmp $ export CVS_RSH=ssh reimer@reimerlp2 ~/tmp $ cvs -d :ext:e906cvs@cdcvs.fnal.gov:/cvs/e906 checkout fastMC cvs checkout: Updating fastMC U fastMC/Makefile_acu U fastMC/dedx.f U fastMC/makefile U fastMC/mc_906.f U fastMC/random.f U fastMC/random.inc U fastMC/ranluxseed.dat U fastMC/sigdy.f EDIT FILES/COMPILE/ETC. reimer@reimerlp2 ~/tmp $ cvs -d :ext:e906cvs@cdcvs.fnal.gov:/cvs/e906 commit fastMC OR reimer@reimerlp2 ~/tmp $ cvs -d :ext:e906cvs@cdcvs.fnal.gov:/cvs/e906 release fastMC You have [0] altered files in this repository. Are you sure you want to release directory `fastMC': yes reimer@reimerlp2 ~/tmp Paul E. Reimer Code and Document Management

  6. Conclusion • DocDB by BTeV hosted by computing division appears to be the best solution • if password issues can be worked out • I will initiate a “help ticket” on Monday at Fermilab to have DocDB repository for E906 • cdcvs.fnal.gov e906cvs repository up an running • Currently only contains fastMC • We need to consider management strategy and rules • CVS really only keeps track of what we’ve done, including our mistakes. • It is not a substitute for good management • Your input is appreciated!! • I will try to help with CVS issues, but other collaboration members have more experience than I do.
