VDT 1.10.1e Update

On 2008-07-11, the VDT team announced the release of VDT 1.10.1e.

Changes to VDT 1.10.1e

  1. Upgraded Gratia Services from 0.36.4 to 0.36.9. Note that this is the local Gratia collector, not the Gratia probes. (VDT ticket 3602)
  2. Improved vdt-update-certs to store configuration across updates, and added a new configuration option to make it easier to exclude a CA. For details, see the man page. (VDT ticket 3616)
  3. Upgraded Bestman, SRM-Client-LBNL, and SRM-Tester-LBNL to 2.2.0.11.a (VDT ticket 3631) (VDT ticket 3640)
  4. Fixed a bug in the MyProxy server build. We had accidentally built it as threaded when it should be built as non-threads, and this could cause runtime problems. (VDT ticket 3580)
  5. Upgraded Generic Information Provider to the 1.0.1 bugfix release (VDT ticket 3647)
  6. Upgraded SRM-Client-Fermi to 1.8.0-15p8 (VDT ticket 3625) (VDT ticket 3658)
  7. dCache has been upgraded to 1.8.0-15.7.
  8. We have improved our configuration of Gratia with MySQL. There is no update available for this. (VDT ticket 3524)
  9. We are now able to preserve VOMS configuration when upgrading to VOMS Admin 2.0. VOMS config will be preserved when upgrading from VDT 1.8.1 to 1.10.1. There is no update available for this.

Updating to VDT 1.10.1e

If you installed VDT 1.10.1 after VDT 1.10.1e was released on 2008-07-11, you do not need to do any of these update operations because you will have 1.10.1e.

The best way to do the update is to update the individual packages that have changed. To be clear, we do not recommend using pacman -update without specifying specific package names. Also note that you only need to update packages if you installed them. You can see what packages have been installed with: 

pacman -lc

Common update directions

Before you do the update directions that follow, please run the following commands. They apply for all of the updates. 

cd $VDT_LOCATION
. setup.sh
vdt-control --off
cp -pr $VDT_LOCATION BACKUP-LOCATION

The copy command makes a complete backup of your VDT installation, in case something goes wrong. Do not skip this step!
