Description
This update fixes various bugs. For the full list of bugs, please see list below.
edg-mkgridmap not robust against xml parsing errors.
- We now specify ISO-8859-1 as the character encoding, such that the XML parser will not bomb out on finding a character with the high bit set.
- Added "--cache" option for VDT, which causes the grid-mapfile to be treated as a cache, i.e. it is only rewritten when the contents change. The example edg-mkgridmap.conf file (overwritten by YAIM) has these changes.
- Removed references to lcg-voms.cern.ch - added new sources for "lhcbsgm" and "lhcbprd"
- Get "atlas" users from root group instead of "lcg1" subgroup.
lb-server-bones
- restart server slave also on fatal error when establishing new connection lb-common
- edg_wll_NotifIdDup() function necessary for fix of #18879
lb-server
- reload credentials on every new connection
- restart slave on the false "expired certificate" condition
- avoid double-free (bug #18879)
lb-logger
- remove stale .ctl files (bug #16051)
- automatic quarantine for corrupted files
- sufficient buffer for long error messages
- default spool file prefix in /var/tmp (bug #18996)
- optimizations in IL-server connection management (don't close imediatelly, fast re-connect on server slave preemption)
- reload credentials unconditionally once per minute
lb-proxy
- default spool file prefix synchronized with interlogger security-gsoap_plugin:
- retry connecting transparently on the false "expired certificate" failure
R-GMA
- Gin, service-tool and standard-tables do not need to be restarted
- Any user code that uses the rgma python api needs to be restarted such as the job status raw and gridftp logfile parsers.
- All rgma services will need to be restarted to pick up the new file permissions (not world writable) - service-tool, flexible-archiver, publish-site, gin, glue-archiver(specific archiver configuration for glue)
