glite-FTA_mysql - Update to version 3.0.8-0

Date 22.01.07
Priority Normal

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.

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)
