I just saw you edited it @kjvbrt but I was going to ask for a timeline for the PRs, maybe next week we can start thinking about tagging?

[kjvbrt]

Hi @jmcarcell. We plan to do all the tags tomorrow/Thursday.

[Zehvogel]

@tmadlener can you also make a new MarlinUtil tag?

[jmcarcell]

We should check this automatically, i.e. any packages that have commits after the tag that was used for the last release probably should be tagged. I'll have a look at this so we don't forget any

[andresailer]

I made tags for

• FCALClusterer: https://github.com/FCALSW/FCalClusterer/releases/tag/v01-00-06
• DD4hep: https://github.com/AIDASoft/DD4hep/releases/tag/v01-27

I put all the open tags into the top level comment together with two currently open PRs that should still be included.

k4SimDelphes can in principle be used in its current version since there was only one PR that fixed some cmake warnings since then. Since k4SimDelphes is effectively a "leaf" in the dependency tree, this should be fairly straight forward to pick up in a small follow up release if necessary (i.e. if the PR takes too long).

For the following packages I am not entirely sure which PRs still need to go in:

• k4FWCore
• k4MarlinWrapper
• k4geo

@kjvbrt can you make tags for the FCC[...] repositories once they are ready (or delegate to someone to make the tags) and tick the boxes in the top level comment? (If I just missed them, could you put the versions in?)

@jmcarcell I think you have the best overview over k4FWCore and know which PRs should still be in the tag and which ones we can leave open. Can you put the ones that need to go in, into the top level comment?

@andresailer I suppose you know best about k4geo, so could you do the same for that?

[andresailer]

We have this issue with the MarlinWrapper key4hep/k4MarlinWrapper#158 that would cause occasional crashes, so would be nice to fix this before.
