Good hint from RHL; scons multi-core build support : scons -j.

So, the build system has been built. I need to re-install it. See  here.

becker3: cd $LSST_ROOT/
becker5: cd ../
becker7: mv lsst_root/ lsst_root_old
becker10: mkdir $LSST_ROOT
becker12: chgrp lsst lsst_root
becker14: chmod g+w lsst_root
becker15: chmod g+s lsst_root
becker22: setenv LSST_HOME /lsst/lsst_root   # used to be called LSST_ROOT
becker23: cd $LSST_HOME/
becker25: curl -o newinstall.sh http://dev.lsstcorp.org/pkgs/newinstall.sh
becker26: sh newinstall.sh
  Now type
    cd /lsst/lsst_root
    source loadLSST.csh
  to load version management with EUPS
becker28: source loadLSST.csh
  LSST_DEVEL=/lsst/becker/lsst_devel:
      Not setup for EUPS (not ups_db directory); ignoring...
becker29: unsetenv EUPS_PATH  # DID NOT WORK...
becker31: unsetenv LSST_DEVEL # WORKS I GUESS
becker32: source loadLSST.csh
becker33: eups distrib --install --current LSSTPipe  ## also : eups distrib -i -C LSSTPipe

While this is running, have a look at developing the Kernel class in FW/. In my notes from our conversation with RHL, I see the steps should be

• File ticket to put Kernel class into FW
• Copy fw/ mainline into that ticket (use svn copy and then svn switch; I have not used either option and got guff for it. Sigh...
• Code review before it goes back into the mainline

So, create a New Ticket. #25. Somehow it got assigned to Tim. Need to assign to me. I bet Tim will do that.

Bulid system has a problem with python2.5. Lib64/ stuff again.

becker37: eups distrib -i -C python

Made ticket #27 for this.
