Greetings:

This is the 1 month warning for the perfSONAR LiveCD and LiveUSB products,
along with version 3.3.x of the perfSONAR toolkit. Each will reach End of
Life (EOL) on Friday April 10th, 2015. We would like to strongly urge all
users of the perfSONAR software to upgrade to the latest support release
(3.4.x) as soon as possible, to prevent a lapse in support. As of this
morning, we still see ~250 instances registering with this old version.

All architectures of the pS Performance Toolkit v3.3 (i386, x86_64) are
impacted by this announcement, and the software will be removed from the
active mirrors on the date above. For individuals who would like to have
access to the historic RPMs, the project has created a "vault" containing
last builds of project software from prior versions:

http://software.internet2.edu/vault/

The Internet2 repository software (versions 0.4-2 and above for version 3.3
users) contains directives to enable this feature. The repository package
can be found in these locations, or will be updated for existing installation
via YUM:


http://software.internet2.edu/rpms/el6/i386/main/RPMS/Internet2-repo-0.4-2.noarch.rpm

http://software.internet2.edu/rpms/el6/x86_64/main/RPMS/Internet2-repo-0.4-2.noarch.rpm

Once enabled, the vault will allow existing toolkit builds to access the old
RPMs. However, it will not allow someone to install a fresh instance from a
netinstall ISO. To enable this repo:

a) Edit the "/etc/yum.repos.d/Internet2-Vault.repo" file and change
"enabled = 0" to "enabled = 1" for both repositories listed in this file

b) Run 'yum update' to update the cache of packages

Thanks, and please relay any questions about these announcements to the
perfSONAR Development team:
