perfSONAR Announcements

[Jason Zurawski <>]

Greetings:

The perfSONAR LiveCD and LiveUSB products, along with version 3.3.x of the 
perfSONAR toolkit, have reached end of support life.  No more updates will be 
available for these products, and users that have still not upgraded are 
urged to do so immediately.  

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 today. 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:
