- Q&A
(by Kenneth and Bob)
- Richard T.: colleague of Thomas, focusing on applications
- Valentin Volkl: recently started as CernVM-FS developer
(see slides)
- Valentin: CernVM-FS coordination meeting in December was very short, only a few open issues have been discussed
- Jörg: is it guaranteed that archived versions of EESSI stacks available as container images will still work in a few years time? Issues can arise if they version of Singularity/Apptainer is different from the version used to build the image
- It should still work with newer versions, perhaps not with older ones
- Alan: we could split the filesystem part and the container part by making the EESSI filesystem available as a squashfs image
(see slides)
(see slides)
- Alan: can the init script return a non-zero exit code?
- Kenneth: it can do a false command at the end, and should print to stderr
- Kenneth: this could be a nice opportunity to test the export/archive functionality
- Jure: currently, the export script only exports loaded modules
- Kenneth: we can/should make a tarball of /cvmfs/pilot.eessi-hpc.org/versions/2021.06 before removing it
- Kenneth: if anyone has good reasons to not delete 2021.06, let us know. We should also announce the removal via the mailing list
(see slides)
- We could set up a CI that builds a compatibility layer every day/week from scratch, or tries to update an existing layer using
emerge world - having CI for Gentoo Prefix bootstrap script would be interesting, since it's a form of contributing back to the Gentoo Prefix project
- we should sync up with Guilherme Amadio on this?
(see slides)
- GPU support
- splitting up #172 into separate parts that are easier to review/merge, incl. installing CUDA (runtime) libraries & accompanying scripts, handling of CUDA compat pkgs, Lmod hooks, etc.
