The lesson “Using Ganga with local projects” should move to first-steps as we want to teach it then.

This will need a call-out added saying why we're using GaudiExec here, but DaVinci in the previous lessons. Should say that GaudiExec will become the default.

@alexpearce Yes that is a good idea.I think it would be good to change the previous lessons to GaudiExec as well.

We've discussed that. Right now the thing putting us off is having to create an (effectively empty) lb-dev project. We'll be teaching this part before lb-dev, so it might be confusing.

You don't need to.

j = Job()
myApp = prepareGaudiExec('DaVinci','v41r3')
myApp.optsFile = ['some/path/options.py']
j.application = myApp

The prepareGaudiExec function builds the standard released version for you.

Ah! Perfect. Yes, we should move to that then.

Does prepareGaudiExec create a temporary directory somewhere? Or will it be created wherever you ran ganga from?

With #211 all the ganga lessons will be using GaudiExec, so we can move the lesson without loosing consistency.
