* Relase timeline https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Release_Details#Schedule
** Announcement Roland, just finished draft of release announcement. Check it out and send any comments/corrections. https://www.einsteintoolkit.org/about/releases/ET_2024_11_announcement.html
** Contributors Roland, A little behind on contacting new contributors. David needs to tell us all the contributors to TOVola.
** Tests Roland, Behind on testing of the different clusters. Steve on Docker containers. Maxwell also testing, OpenPPD failed.
Steve, had to switch form OpenMPI to MPIch, OpenMPI not working on Docker. Has one test that fails. Docker containers are all good. And can share the install command for each of those. Roland, then we can update the Jupyter notebook..
Roland, can compile on his clusters but not run tests yet.
Grahyl has a failing test. Leo is looking into it.
Roland, issues with HDF5, can set to use external library. Should put in that in the Jupyter notebook. Leo, probably not looking for different values in the list. Maybe chaning the list is too invasive for a few weeks before release. Roalnd, Could back port it into the release after testing it further.
Steve, testsuite on any LSU machines? Roland, Maybe DB1. Steve is signed up for all the LSU machines. Roland not able to login to other machines at LSU. Steve should receive requests for permissions. Steve added LONI allocation for Roland to run on those LSU machines. Steve still assigned the testing.
Roland, trying to install more of the CarpetX so moving from Intel backend to LLVM-based so oneAPI compilers that are Intel can compile this, have better C++ support.
* Unanswered questions on mailing list None.
* Open Tickets #2830, CarpetX depends on BLOSC Not in the Toolkit. Roland has poked Erik.
#2173, #2174, #2176, #2172 Poisson, Multi-Patch, BNS, GW150914 Gallery examples David needs write access, to upload the tar file to downloads folder. Roland will check on login to BitBucket and give access.
#2818 Failing tests with GCC14. Roland, will close it, there is a warning coming out for AMRex.
#2520 update gauge settings in TOV example David, will be uploading the gauge examples too.
#2171, and other old tickets Roland poked them to bring them high on the list.
* Tickets for Review #1566 Update Cactus autoconf Roland, do not want to make the change this close to release. Currently using very old 2.13 (1999) and new is 2.72 and using the automatic script still needs some manual changes. So needs more testing. New Autoconf has advantages for many machines. Review the configure.ac .
[ https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/history/automake-history.html January 1999, Automake 1.4 and Autoconf 2.13 https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/ December 2023, Autoconf 2.72 ]
#2761 some ExternalLibraries require cmake to build Roland, several clusters do not have new enough cmake, wants 3.22 version. Steve, for Docker had to install cmake package for each of them.
#2920 NewRadX boundary condition conflicts with symmetry condition Roland, would like to have had it in. A two commit issue, one for NewRadX and one for CarpetX.
#963 Improve McLachlan accuracy Roland we should get this in next time.
* Any Other Business None
