Note: This version of the VDT (1.10.1) is supported, but is not our latest stable release. The current stable release is 2.0.0.
On 2008-07-31, the VDT team announced the release of VDT 1.10.1f.
If you installed VDT 1.10.1 after VDT 1.10.1f was released on 2008-07-31, you do not need to do any of these update operations because you will have 1.10.1f.
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
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!
Do this step if and only if your installation includes Condor (look for the $VDT_LOCATION/condor directory).
pacman -update Condor
Do this step if and only if your installation includes Condor-Cron (look for the $VDT_LOCATION/condor-cron directory).
pacman -update Condor-Cron
If your installation includes OSG-RSV (look for the $VDT_LOCATION/osg-rsv directory), you must fix the order in which services are started in the VDT:
state file, e.g.:
cp -p state state-BACKUP
state file and move the line that starts
with condor-cron to immediately before the line that starts
with osg-rsv; the resulting two lines look a bit like this:
... condor-cron init enable ... osg-rsv init enable ... ...Be very careful to not change the contents of the lines, especially the tab characters which are field delimiters.
