[Ncep.list.nems.announce] NEMS trunk FREEZE and Re: NEMS Ticket #161: Unifying merge of branches/NUOPC/development and NEMS trunk

[Gerhard Theurich]

Hi NEMS developers,

I just opened a new NEMS ticket (#161) to serve as a reference for the 
upcoming merge task. This more than a simple merge in that we are trying 
to unify the coupled system with the default "trunk mode" of NEMS. The 
result will be much cleaner superstructure code (removal of #ifdefs in 
the EARTH component). Also the emerging system will exclusively use the 
latest ESMF release (v7.0.0).

As previously discussed, there is an upcoming FREEZE of the NEMS trunk 
for the entire next week (i.e. week of 04/18/16). We will try to have an 
early test candidate of the new NEMS trunk available some time middle of 
next week.

There are some critical pieces that I need help with from EMC:

1) Prior to the trunk freeze next week, I would need someone to identify 
a recent and stable NEMS trunk revision. Let's call this revision trunkRev1

2) I will need someone (or a few folks) that are well versed at running 
the NEMS trunk regression tests. I am thinking it would be good to have 
GSM and NMMB experts available for this. They would run the regression 
tests on trunkRev1 and make a backup copy of the results, so that we can 
retest against the same baseline, even if the default baseline on Theia 
and WCOSS may still change (because trunk is not yet frozen).

3) During the unification process I am expecting to have versions of 
NEMS available at different times. It would be great of the same people 
from #2 were available to check out these revisions and test them again 
against the saved baseline from #2.

Thanks,
-Gerhard
