Note: This version of the VDT (1.6.0) is no longer supported. Feel free to look through the documentation and install it, but we cannot guarantee support for it. The current stable release is 2.0.0.
A subset of the VDT is now available in RPMs. We will be working to make RPMs for the other packages provided by the VDT in the future releases of the VDT.
Caveats: Using the VDT RPMs is not as nice as using the Pacman installation. The RPMs do no configuration so it is up to you to figure out how to do it. Currently none of the nifty VDT utilities are part of the RPMs. This is a subset of the software.
With these caveats you might ask why we provide the RPMs at all. There are two reasons. First, they are used by LCG as a basis for their Grid installations. Second, other VDT users may find them useful if they use an cluster management tool like Rocks.
