Discussion

• Chimera 1.13
  • Greg will make release on Monday, July 2
• ChimeraX
  • Documentation and tutorial strategy
    • Bundle-specific documentation should be placed into docs directory in package
    • Bundle-specific documentation should be kept in bundle
  • Linux installers for ChimeraX
    • Greg is working on Debian (apt-get, deb) packaging for 0.7
      • Dependencies are essentially complete
      • Separate installers for different versions of Ubuntu, which is the only tested platform
      • Download page will say for Ubuntu
      • Still working on post-install and uninstall scripts
    • Make "rpm" and "apt-get" with dependencies
      • Check for available dependent packages on CentOS 7, Fedora 28, Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04
      • Target Redhat/Fedora for 0.8
    • Also make tar file for desperate independently minded users
  • atomic is now a bundle
    • Linux build has not succeeded yet
    • Reinstalling atomic does not work due to in-use shared objects (on Windows)
  • Release 0.7 target date: July 23
  • wrappy3 is used only for mmCIF
    • Retire wrappy and keep generated wrapper as source and wrappy DLL/shared object for linking
    • Remove dependency on DLL later
  • PyQt 5.11 - available as of 6/23
    • Wait until after 0.7 release
  • Vulkan is a good "age discriminator" for computer age
    • Good idea, not right now, further investigation needed

Action Items

• Greg will take wrappy3 out of the build
• Greg will make Chimera 1.13 release on Monday, July 2
• Everyone make sure that ChangeLog is up to date
• Conrad and Greg will figure out how to organize documentation so that the primary copy stays in bundles but editing is not too cumbersome
• Conrad will create ticket listing stable APIs
