Hi,

Using the LSST CVMFS stack from California. I'm obtaining the files from France, is there a problem with the Open Science Grid mirror?

Thanks, Ben

In 2019 we did some experiments that resulted in the distribution of some *-dev releases.

As of today we have:

lsst_distrib/v18.1.0-dev
lsst_distrib/w_2019_19-dev
lsst_distrib/w_2019_44-dev

lsst_sims/sims_w_2019_19-dev
lsst_sims/sims_w_2019_44-dev

@heather999 Can the releases above be removed or do you still need them online ?

The issue below was submitted by @heather999 at #3 . I moved it here to keep that issue devoted to maintain the list of pinned releases.

Hi,

I would need the lsst_sims release sims_w_2020_43 which was deleted yesterday. Would it be possible to have it back in cvmfs? Thanks.

Best regards,

Philippe

We use this issue to record the agreed weekly releases of both lsst_distrib and lsst_sims to be pinned. Pinned weekly releases are kept online even if they are older than 12 weeks, the default period for a weekly release to be kept online.

The list of pinned weekly releases is intended to evolve and any modification to that list is to be documented via this issue.

As stated in the documentation, our policy is to keep online the 12 most recent weekly releases and all stable releases.

As of now, we have kept online more weekly releases that we originally intended. This is the current situation:

You can browse the current contents of the repository here to see exactly what releases are currently available.

Given the size of each (stable or weekly) release (currently ~10 GB) and in spite of the deduplication features of CernVM-FS, it is necessary to enforce a purge policy of weekly releases which take into account the real usage of those releases by you, the users of this distribution.

I'm therefore looking for input on what weekly releases you really need we keep online. Please bear in mind that it is not possible for us to keep all of them indefinitely. If no input is received, we will implement the original intended policy, that is to say, we will only keep online the more recent 12 weekly releases.
