VDT 2.0.0p8 Update

On 2009-08-21, the VDT team announced the release of VDT 2.0.0p8.

Changes to VDT 2.0.0p8

  1. Updated OSG-RSV to fix a problem that prevented the gratia-consumer from sending RSV records if the python OpenSSL module was not installed on the system. The VDT will automatically install the pyOpenSSL module as of 2.0.0p6, and with this fix, the gratia-consumer can now find it in the environment. (VDT ticket 5653)
  2. Updated Apache to version 2.2.13, which fixes some security issues. (VDT ticket 5639)
  3. Updated Java 1.5 and 1.6 to new versions which include security fixes. (VDT ticket 5644)
  4. Fixed a bug in configure_bestman that prevented it from being run twice.
  5. Updated the Gratia probes to fix a bug that can cause delayed reporting of records (VDT ticket 5695)
  6. Updated the Gratia Services and Reporting packages to 1.04.4. This includes a fix for PBS reporting, and other bug fixes. Most sites do not run a local Gratia collector, so this update will not affect them. (VDT ticket 5675)
  7. Improved robustness when upgrading a VOMS-Server from an older VDT. Upgrade installs should now finish, as opposed to crashing during the pacman install. However, there are some reports from the field (Dan Yocum) that upgrade installs still do not work correctly. We will continue to investigate and make necessary improvements in future releases.
  8. Further reduced the size of vdt-install.log by reducing extraneous logging from vdt-update-certs. (VDT ticket 5605)

Updating to VDT 2.0.0p8

If you installed VDT 2.0.0 after VDT 2.0.0p8 was released on 2009-08-21, you do not need to do any of these update operations because you will have 2.0.0p8.

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.
