News: Tango-9, new ParamRepeat interface in Spock, new data types for VmExecutor and VcExecutor dynamic attributes, GroupStorage/GPFS permissions

• Tango-9: PCs are currently been upgraded.

• The interface for calling macros with ParamRepeat parameters have been improved, allowing the use of multiple ParamRepeat parameters in the same macro, the use of default values inside a ParamRepeat parameter and an arbitrary location of these parameters in the list of parameters of a given macro. The new documentation can be found here here. Examples using the new interface can be found here.

• Updated information about which data types can be used for defining dynamic attributes in the VmExecutor and VcExecutor devices and how they should be defined can be found here: VmExecutor server and VcExecutor server

• read-only permission of GroupStorage files created from Windows: change NFS4 ACLs from Linux (see Andres summary how to add owner). Needs to be tested.

• GPFS: STAFF can create files in 'processed' but cannot delete them. Solution: Allow OWNER to delete files.

  Consider: A STAFF member creating files belonging to a beamtime may consider to put herself to the list of participants (via Gamma Portal).

• /online_dir/TangoDump.py is created, versioned.
