Move to Ganga 6.2 #40

Closed henryiii closed 7 years ago

henryiii commented 7 years ago

This updates the lessons to use Ganga 6.2 and CMake builds. The older system is depreciated and support has ceased. The old lesson didn't work, due to use of old getpack usage. I've updated the example based on a slide by Mark Smith.

I updated but did not remove the mention of using an old version to get Local backend and DiracFile to work together, when I tried this I didn't see an output with 6.2, so I'm guessing the problem still exists?

Also fixed a broken link.

Thanks for doing that - looks fine to me.

The beginning of the lesson should be changed to reflect that lb-run is now supported:

The lb-dev command allows you to start hacking on LHCb code very quickly. The downside is that Ganga does not yet support the use of local projects created with lb-dev when you run an application.

In this lesson, we will go through a workaround that will allow you to use local projects with Ganga jobs, wherever they run.

I think those two paragraphs can just be deleted.

Excellent, thanks very much for this! 🍰
