The Use of Open Source Tools in PHENIX Code Development

Presented by: Momchil Velkovsky

  At present, the PHENIX Experiment at RHIC has approximately fifty collaborators actively developing code for both online and offline uses. If anything, this number is expected to increase in the near future as experimental data becomes available. PHENIX relies heavily on several open-source tools to help manage the code development problems presents by this large and varied group. These tools include ones long familiar to the HENP community, such as the use of CVS to for version control, as well as some that are not as widely used. These newer tools include some adopted from the Mozilla project, such as Bonsai which provides a query interface to CVS, Tinderbox for managing software builds, and Bugzilla for tracking problem reports. PHENIX also uses CVSWEB, LXR and DOC++ to provide source code navigation and documentation. The HtDig package is used to search the PHENIX web. This talk will discuss our experiences, both good and bad, with adapting these tools to PHENIX use.
