Verification Testing

Validation Testing

CASA 6

  • completed casa-toolset-3 RPM Python 3 toolset suite for building CASAtools and CASAtasks (only required specially built swig, openmpi, and gsl RPMs; the rest are provided by RedHat), CASA 6 will be strictly RHEL7 (due to issues with AppImage support with RHEL6)
  • converted python module names to casatools and casatasks (instead of CASAtools and CASAtasks ) because python guidelines discourage capital letters in module names
  • fixed errors with task_importatca (uninitialized variables)
  • started creating CASAplotms qt app
  • fixed configure to completely search $PATH for a usable swig executable
