Summary :

• review of OS used by openalea users
  • CC's team : mainly MacOS and Windows, several linux
  • action: create a survey to quantify it
• review of openalea deployement possibilities on different platforms
  • fedora: almost OK, need to study how to create a repository and automate rpm generation
  • MacOS: works on some MacOS version and distribution (homebrew, macports). Need to create a global openalea package (dmg)
  • Ubuntu: OK
  • Windows: work in progress
• actions :
  • alea_install should follow standards (easy_install/pip) to be spread
  • improve (py)QGlViewer fork
  • choose best solution for global openalea package : package with all dependencies inside or meta-package
  • deployment of OpenAlea, VPlants, Alinea on Fedora: for each package, write a spec file which permits to create the appropriate binary RPM. Document the process to create the binary RPM from a spec file. The spec file and the process will evolve separately from the tools which permit the automated deployment of Openalea.
  • test the binary RPMs created from http://openalea.gforge.inria.fr/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=documentation:core:propositions:217_-_rpm_creation on a clean Fedora machine.
  • transmit the survey about the use of OpenAlea on the different operating systems.
