IPP Progress Report for the week 20120604 - 20120610

(Up to IPP Progress Reports)

Eugene Magnier

We had some problems this week with hardware for the main gpc1 processing database. We had to switch to the replicated server, but the hardware was not really up to the task (there were also some configuration issues that made operations there extra slow). We had to reduce services somewhat this week while we worked off of the other machine. We clearly need to upgrade that host (ippdb02) to match the capabilities of the main server (ippdb01)

• worked with Chris to discover the cause of the psphot issues he was having: the model variance code I checked in was apparently responsible (despite not being called, I thought). I ifdef'ed out that code so the operational tag can use the old-style image variance mode correctly.
• passed a copy of the photometry ladder around core author list
• IPP build upgrades to support current gcc and Ubuntu distributions (still some Perl 5.14 issues tbd).
