Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Mark Cairney <>]

Hi,

We're still seeing this and it's causing issues with our planned upgrade
from 2.2.2 to 2.3.0.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Also if anyone has any advice on how best to patch the PSP (as the
source doesn't appear to be included in the standard grouper tarball
unlike the other components hence our rather hacky attempts at patching
it thus far) that would be grand.

Kind regards,

Mark
