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.

VDT 1.10.1j Update

On 2008-09-18, the VDT team announced the release of VDT 1.10.1j.

Changes to VDT 1.10.1j

  1. There is an update available to the OSG-RSV-Probes package which fixes an issue with the CA Certificates probe (cacert-crl-expiry-probe) generating incorrect WARNING or ERROR conditions.

    There is also an update for vdt-update-certs to work with the new RSV CA-Certs probe. (VDT ticket 3983)

  2. The VDT-System-Profiler has been updated to include more information to help us debug failures. (VDT ticket 3880)
  3. Configure-Gratia has updated how it preserves configuration. We have added some validation for a ProbeConfig file before copying it from OLD_VDT_LOCATION to prevent empty ProbeConfig files from being preserved. This only effect of this change is at install time, so there is no update necessary for this change. (VDT ticket 3927)

Updating to VDT 1.10.1j

If you installed VDT 1.10.1 after VDT 1.10.1j was released on 2008-09-18, you do not need to do any of these update operations because you will have 1.10.1j.

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!

Updating OSG-RSV-Probes and CA-Certificates-Updater

pacman -update CA-Certificates-Updater
pacman -update OSG-RSV-Probes

Note: After updating CA-Certificates-Updater, vdt-update-certs might be disabled on your system. To ensure that it is running, use: 

vdt-control --enable vdt-update-certs

Updating VDT-System-Profiler

If you do either of the above updates, you will automatically get this update. If not, run the following command to get the new VDT-System-Profiler package. 

pacman -update VDT-System-Profiler
