VDT 2.0.0p26 Update

On 2011-03-29, the VDT team announced the release of VDT 2.0.0p26.

Changes to VDT 2.0.0p26

  1. Released a new version of RSV which fixes the following bugs:
    • The race condition that could cause an empty record in rare cases has been fixed. This fixes a problem that could cause a site's status to become UNKNOWN in MyOSG.
    • Fixed the bug that causes RSV jobs to get a "permission denied" error if RSV is started in a directory where the RSV user does not have read permissions.
  2. Updated Apache to 2.2.17. This new version allowed us to remove the a small patch we used to apply (the "apr-utils patch") because it has been adopted upstream. CHANGELOG
  3. Updated Tomcat to version 5.5.32. This includes security and bug fixes.
  4. Updated Java to version 1.6.0_23. This includes security and bug fixes.
  5. Updated MySQL to version 5.0.92. This includes security and bug fixes.
  6. PHP has been updated to 5.2.17.
  7. Configure-osg had two minor updates:
    • Added a small bug fix to the CE check.
    • Added support for having configure-osg not setup either BDII or CEMon in order to support certain specialized CE instances.

Updating to VDT 2.0.0p26

If you installed VDT 2.0.0 after VDT 2.0.0p26 was released on 2011-03-29, you do not need to do any of these update operations because you will have 2.0.0p26.

Recommended method: VDT Updater

We strongly encourage users to update the VDT using the VDT updater script: VDT Updater Instructions

Not recommended: Pacman update

If you really want to do it the hard way, instructions for updating by using Pacman directly are available on another page. This method is hard to follow and error prone.
