  2. Prepare for my orderly departure from NRAO. See CAS-6513.
  3. Routine packaging.
  4. JIRA tickets, in priority order.
  5. Everything else.

On Hold

  1. Wipe and reinstall 10.7 on cbt-d11-1, reconfigure for 10.7 CASA development.
    • pending plan for allocating OS X development and test systems in DSOC.

Done

  1. Publish CASA 4.2.1 OS X 10.7. See CAS-6357.
  2. Configure an OS X 10.7 development system for Susan Loveland. See CAS-6426.
    • Ready for Susan.
  3. Publish CASA 4.2.1 EL5 and EL6 only, internally to CASA.
  4. Publish CASA Linux test packages from CASA 4.3 trunk. See CAS-6429.
  5. Build and test CASA trunk on EL6. See CAS-5383
  6. Collect OS X 10.7 test & debugging data for CASA 4.2.1
    1. Re run failing tests with only an ssh connection - to see if others can test and debug without a dedicated Mac.
    2. Collect 10.8 and 10.9 data where possible.
    3. Re run failing tests on Linux to see if they can be debugged there.
    • data recorded in JIRA.

  • Monitor CASA automated build and test systems.
    • Assist developers in resolving CASA issues exposed by automated build and test.
    • Extend automated build and test systems to improve CASA test coverage.

      • Document procedures for setting up CASA development computers.
      • Ensure source code used to build CASA 3rd party packages is kept in CASA change control.
      • Coordinate deployment of CASA 3rd party packages with NRAO helpdesk.
    • Working with NRAO Helpdesk, deploy CASA 3rd party packages to CASA developers at all NRAO sites.
    • Publish CASA 3rd party packages for use by CASA developers outside of NRAO.

  • Improve CASA build and tests automation.

  • Investigate issues reported by CASA users for OS related issues, resolve where possible.
