[edit] Updates on /atlas/ATLASLocalRootBase at TRIUMF

Please look at installation logfile to see what is installed, as it does not depend on a human being remembering to keep it up to date!

You can also find out by running the command showVersions (e.g. "showVersions --show athena"). See "showVersions --help" for a full list of possibilities. If you are unable to run this command, make sure you have defined

 export ATLAS_LOCAL_ROOT_BASE=/atlas/ATLASLocalRootBase
 source ${ATLAS_LOCAL_ROOT_BASE}/user/atlasLocalSetup.sh

You can set this as an alias in your .bashrc, e.g.

 function setupATLAS()
 {
 export ATLAS_LOCAL_ROOT_BASE=/atlas/ATLASLocalRootBase
 source ${ATLAS_LOCAL_ROOT_BASE}/user/atlasLocalSetup.sh
 }

It is also helpful if you create your requirements file with "createRequirements". You should not have to do this very often now - it automatically finds new releases when they are installed.

Compare with Latest Releases List to see if we have what you need. Ask Isabel if you want more patches installed.

Note that there are now snapshots available (snapshots can also be created by users). These are in $ATLAS_LOCAL_ROOT_BASE/user/snapshots/.

To use them (after atlasLocalSetup.[c]sh), for example, to setup a certain default or the latest:
source $ATLAS_LOCAL_ROOT_BASE/user/snapshots/default-20080228.snapshot
or
source $ATLAS_LOCAL_ROOT_BASE/user/snapshots/latest-20080318.snapshot

New releases are installed from the TRIUMF mirror http://pacman.atlas-canada.ca/ATLAS.mirror while AtlasProduction, AtlasTier0 etc. patches are installed directly from http://cern.ch/atlas-computing/links/kitsDirectory/Production/cache

Kit Validation results should be available here.
