[Users] Meeting minutes for 2024-10-03

[Lucas Timotheo Sanches]

Present: Lucas (minutes), Maxwell Rizzo, Roland Hass, Johnny Tsao,
Zachariah Etienne, Samuel Cupp, Peter Diener, Steven Brandt

# Etienne(chair)Timeline:

Steve says he will look at the Z4C thorn to see if it has test cases.
Roland says that gcc14 requires that we rehaul our autoconf process.
He proposes his updated autoconf for inclusion but warns that further
testing is needed because autoconf is sensitive. Steve suggested that
we put it into master and see what it breaks. Roland will see a PR for
that.

# Questions in the mailing list

Schedule options in uninitialized refinement levels: Roland says he
will respond to it.

# Tickets

2824: Will be closed by the inclusion of the listings package. Some
other related tickets will also be closed by this.
2821: Zach asks what is the update policy on external libraries.
Roland says there is no official cadency, we update them when
something breaks or someone needs something newer. In AMReX and some
other CarpetX dependencies, Erik is updating them more frequently and
manually at every release.
2820: Steve asks that they include test cases that work with those
changes. Roland will comment on that on the PR. Reviewer is needed.
2818: Roland couldn't trace the error. He suggests we compile each
file selectively and see where the error comes up.
