New datafiles for FastSimulation/PileUpProducer about cmsdist

[giamman]

Hi Giulio, did you manage to access the files in my directory /afs/cern.ch/user/g/giamman/scratch0/fastsim/minbias ? I re-checked the permissions, and it looks like user "eulisse" has all that is needed. As an alternative, could I copy to some tmp area of some specific machine, or something like that?

[davidlt]

@giamman I cannot access the location. The files should be uploaded into a standard location /afs/cern.ch/cms/data/CMSSW/FastSimulation/PileUpProducer/data/, then you can update the list of files in https://github.com/cms-sw/cmsdist/blob/IB/CMSSW_7_0_X/stable/data-FastSimulation-PileUpProducer.spec

[giamman]

Yes I know, but I have no permission to write there, so Giulio kindly agreed to do that for me. Unfortunately, he cannot access my directory.
Whom should I ask to get writing permission there?

Thanks,
Andrea

As I can see the following people have uploaded files to cmsdoc before:

• Florian Beaudette
• Patrick Janot (owner of FastSimulation/PileUpProducer on AFS)
• Salavat Abdoulline

Hi Andrea,

you (should) have permission there now - please let me know if you still
can't upload there.

cheers, andreas

[giamman]

Thanks Andreas! It works!
I started copying the files there, and I soon hit the disk quota.
But I noticed the presence of some very old (April 2007!) files named MinBiasEvents_.root, which are not used since several years as can be seen from the fact that they are not present in FastSimulation/PileUpProducer/data/download.url
Therefore, I propose that I physically delete those files from the directory. (I will not delete the MinBias14TeV_.root files, instead, because that would create trouble for the users of the releases which use them; for example there was a SUSY request for them in June, that entered 53x.)
In addition, I will update FastSimulation/PileUpProducer/data/download.url (or directly https://github.com/cms-sw/cmsdist/blob/IB/CMSSW_7_0_X/stable/data-FastSimulation-PileUpProducer.spec ?) by removing the MinBias14TeV*.root files, so that they will not be shipped with 70x, although still available on the disk.
Does everybody agree on that?

Hi Andrea,

not sure if deleting things there is a good idea (someone outside may
still need some data there, maybe not now, but in a while when they try to
look again at something specific ... ).

I just increased the space there so you should be able to upload -- let me
know if not.

In general, I fully agree that we need some kind of migration strategy for
the stuff there (and in other "data" directories) -- maybe Giulio et al can
come up with something (move the stuff into another git repo so we have
versioning and archiving ??).

Thanks,
cheers, andreas

[davidlt]

You don't need to touch FastSimulation/PileUpProducer/data/download.url, it's not used.

Just make a pull request for CMSDIST repository with modified data-FastSimulation-PileUpProducer.spec.

@apfeiffer1 thanks, I copied the files there.
@davidlt Ok, then I will remove FastSimulation/PileUpProducer/data/download.url from the repository, to avoid confusion. Sorry for the ignorance, how do I checkout a file from CMSDIST?

[davidlt]

@giamman fork CMSDIST repository. Clone it locally, modify the file, push it your forked repository, and make a pull request.

git clone [email protected]:giamman/cmsdist.git cmsdist-giamman
cd cmsdist-giamman
git checkout IB/CMSSW_7_0_X/stable
vim data-FastSimulation-PileUpProducer.spec
git commit -a -s 
# Remember to provide meaningful message.
# Example:
# Removal of X and addition of Y (subject line)
# (empty line)
# X was removed due to ... Y was added instead...  (detailed description of you changes, paragraph). 
# -s option of commit adds your signature to the commit
git push origin HEAD:13Tev-update-data-FastSimulation-PileUpProducer
# Now on GitHub you can make a pull request to official CMSDIST repository

[giamman]

Thanks, done:
#219

@davidlt
By the way, I am trying to apply the same recipe for 6_2_X (I only changed git checkout IB/CMSSW_7_0_X/stable into git checkout IB/CMSSW_6_2_X/stable) but I see that the content of data-FastSimulation-PileUpProducer.spec is just:

### RPM cms data-FastSimulation-PileUpProducer V04-05-18
## IMPORT data-rpm-build

instead of the full list of files.
How should I proceed, then?

Thanks in advance,
Andrea

[davidlt]

@giamman CMSSW_6_2_X replace it with the data-FastSimulation-PileUpProducer.spec from CMSSW_7_0_X.

[davidlt]

Closing. It's merged into CMSSW_6_2_X and CMSSW_7_0_X.
