# DIALS core meeting 2024-10-03
## Previous Actions
- [ ] **ND** Investigate getting `psana` tests running on the DIALS xfel-regression testing
- [ ] **ND**: Investigate using stable-nightly conda builds of cctbx (e.g. cctbx tests) longer term
- [ ] **ND**: Sync new releases with current state of dials/cbflib and main branch. Keep synced.
- [ ] **ND**: Get commit notificaton emails working again
- This appears to now be working. Combination of misconfigured servers, python 2.7 and some previous manual forked changes to the upstream tool
- Monitor over next week to check it is working
- It is not!
## Agenda
- PS2 processing discussion, requires Graeme, defer to next time.
- Graeme is still away this week
### MCD Outlier Rejection
- AB PR: https://github.com/dials/dials/pull/2676
- Relatively happy with, touches xia2.ssx so wanted JBE to look over
- Adds lots of new settings, does not change current defaults but thinks it should do
- JBE will have a look at it
### Fast-feedback indexer
- Adding the fast-feedback-indexer to DIALS
- https://github.com/dials/dials/pull/2717
### Status of James' HDF5 work
- [ ] **JBE**: H5 on-disk experiment: review practicalities of using this & welcome people looking at James's work above. round trip example files could be useful - exists in dials.export.
- https://github.com/dials/dials/pull/2677
- Graeme and Nick need to have a look over
- We need a persuasive argument why we are not using NXreflection
### Laue-dials tests
- Rick wanted to run these as part of dials test suite - follow up
### PyCBF on PPC
- Derek Mendez queried about getting DIALS build for PPC platform. PyCBF seemed to have issues.
- Autobuild is broken, in process of moving to plain setuptools
- ND: Not had time to continue working on this
### PR: NXmx: read data_scale_factor
- https://github.com/cctbx/dxtbx/pull/756
- Needed nxmx release
- **ND**: Make nxmx release and push through to conda-forge.
- This is done
- CI errors appear to be legit
### Making CMake default for DIALS bootstrap
- https://github.com/dials/dials/pull/2755
- Fixes a set of build errors that have been creeping in
- Fix for libtbx removals
- Full libtbx/cctbx still supported with `--libtbx` (and no plans to remove)
