WMS / LB updates
Fixes of missing dependencies of the glite-WMS and glite-LB metapackages as well as update of RPMs to their latest version used in the glite 3.0 repository.
Since a lot of new packages will be installed, apt-get dist-upgrade is required for upgrading.
Multiple bug fixes - besides others:
- Avoid that a collection with pending jobs is processed multiple times
- A job can be resubmitted to a CE where it previously failed, if no other compatible CE is available
- Globus GSS library does not reset SSL error stack (breaking OpenSSL specification) before calling SSL routines in gss_unwrap() implementation, yielding a random false error triggered by various conditions (e.g. expired, actually unused proxy credential file on disk, missing certificate of VOMS server etc.). The bug was reported to globus as http://bugzilla.globus.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5453 and it should be fixed in VDT-1.6.1 soon. This part of the patch is a safe workaround, though.
- Update lcg-mon-job-status to include new UI field. This update enables the UI host for submission to be published in to R-GMA
- LB library used to keep a connection to LB proxy opened as long
as the LB context is kept. With higher load the number of open
contexts in WMS may raise to thousands, exhausting available fd's.
On the other hand, keeping them open is useless, LB proxy is able to
serve 10 simultaneous connections only.
This update forces closing the connection after each operation, releasing the fd. The associated performance impact (when multiple requests could be served over a single connection) is negligible, as the LB proxy connection goes via Unix socket.
