VDT 2.0.0 Release

Compare differences between two VDT 2.0.0 point releases

Highlights of changes since 1.10.1

• We have added support for Debian 5, x86 and x86-64.
• We now build MyProxy against VOMS.
  • Note: MyProxy is not linked against VOMS on Mac OS
  • Note: The MyProxy executables and some flavors of the libraries are built against VOMS, but the following library flavors are not built against VOMS:
    • 32-bit: gcc32 and gcc32pthr
    • 64-bit: gcc64 and gcc64pthr
• We have removed MySQL 4. We have moved the software that was using MySQL 4 to MySQL 5.0: (VDT Ticket 5256)
  • Globus-RLS (VDT Ticket 3753)
  • Globus-RFT
  • GUMS
  • VOMRS
• We have added a new tool, vdt-ca-manage, to help simplify managing the CA certificates. This tool will be used to setup the certificates after installation. For more info, see the man page. Please note: Unlike VDT 1.10.1, you will not normally need to edit vdt-update-certs.conf or run vdt-setup-ca-certificates after you do an installation: you just run vdt-ca-manage.
• We now require the use of Pacman 3.28
• After you install the VDT with Pacman, you must finish the installation with the new vdt-post-install program, located in $VDT_LOCATION/bin/vdt-post-install. We are gradually moving some of the more complicated portions of the installation process out of the Pacman installation. This gives us two benefits:
  1. If the post-installation fails, it doesn't damage Pacman's database about the installation.
  2. It will simplify our transition to support native packages (RPMs and debs)
• Almost all of the questions that the VDT used to ask when doing an installation have been removed. Most of them were questions about whether or not a service should be enabled. Now the question isn't asked (it's often confusing at installation time), and all services are installed as "disabled", and can be enabled as desired with:

  vdt-control --enable SERVICE-NAME

  The VDT will now disregard pre-answered questions in the vdt-questions.sh file.
  This change was made because it significantly simplified the packaging of the VDT and, in some circumstances, will make it much easier for us to deliver updates to software.
  There is still one VDT question that asks you if you accept the licenses for the software in the VDT. How to pre-answer the licenses question.
• By default CRLs are fetched every 6 hours instead of every 24 hours. (If you've enabled fetch-crl to automatically run.) If you have lots of computers at your site that fetch CRLs (such as all of your worker nodes) you may need to configure your site to be kinder to the CRL servers. Details

New Software Since 1.10.1

• One-Way Active Measurement Protocol (OWAMP, One-Way Ping) (VDT Ticket 4400)
• Bandwidth Test Controller (BWCTL) (VDT Ticket 4400)
• Network Diagnostic Tool (NDT)(VDT Ticket 4400)
• Network Path and Application Diagnosis (NPAD) Client (VDT Ticket 4400)
