Description



glite-BDII_site

New version of glite-BDII_site

This release contains a new meta-package for the site-level BDII service, which obsoletes the glite-BDII metapackage, along with a number of new components and updated components.

If you are going to update a nodetype with a glite-BDII already installed, please follow this steps:

  • Download the repo file of the BDII_site
  • Run 'yum install glite-BDII_site'
  • Run '/opt/glite/yaim/bin/yaim -c -s site-info.def -n BDII_site'

Note that since this is a new nodetype you cannot use 'yum update'.

If you are going to do a clean installation, the steps are exactly the same as before.

BDII version 5.1 is a major revision that meets the Fedora and Debian packaging guidelines. One of the main impacts to is that some paths used by the BDII have changed.

The packages glite-info-provider-ldap and glite-info-provider-service have been updated to support Glue 2.0.

Two new packages glite-info-site and glite-info-static have been added to simplify the publication of the Site entry and also to provide the publication of the GLUE 2.0 Domain entry. The package glite-info-provider-release has been added to publish the gLite version for this Service.

All the gLite customizations are included in a new packages called bdii-config-site. This significantly reduced the specific configuration required and hence simplifies the YAIM component.

Finally, a new version of glite-yaim-bdii is provided that has been updated to work with all the above changes. As such, yaim needs to be run before this service will function correctly after an upgrade.

Co-hosting

Please beware that co-hosting the new glite-BDII_site node with another node type (e.g. glite-CREAM) has NOT been tested and is NOT supported. For example, the new version of the BDII runs as user "ldap" instead of "edguser" that is still used for the resource BDII on other node types.

This update fixes various bugs. For the full list of bugs, please see list below.
