Description (See the patch #4566)
What's new
This release of L&B 2.1.17 introduces a few minor hotfixes, namely to BDII reporting. There are no functionality changes.
Installation and Configuration
glite-LB metapackage is installed by yum. yaim configuration requires, at the very least, setting MYSQL_PASSWORD, SITE_NAME and SITE_EMAIL in the site-info.def file.
Dependencies
Newer versions of certain packages are required, compared to the previous release of L&B 2.1.16. There are no new dependencies, though.
Known issues
Due to faulty DNS over IPv6 resolution in the c-ares library, L&B does not work in most scenarios involving IPv6-only machines. Upgrade c-ares to 1.7.3 and relaunch yaim to get full IPv6 functionality.
