We need a run tick equivalent
LHCbDIRAC needs to know whether the conditions of a given run have been propagated to CVMFS. During Run2, an agent on a central server was looking at the run tick.
That feature does not exist anymore in Run3. While @clemenci and @bcouturi were on holidays, I hacked something (looking at the Tell40 conditions which are always present), forgot to let you know about the use case (my bad), and now that was broken by !51 (merged)
@cburr fixed it (lhcb-dirac/LHCbDIRAC!1462 (diffs)) but that is clearly not sustainable.
Can we have a tiny python lib, taking a run number as input and returning a boolean whether the condition can locally be accessed on CVMFS ? This way, the internals of the CondDB can change without us caring.
