perfsonar development work

Hi,

in the past admin guide, there are two sections very similar to install
the RRD MA. I don't understand in which situation one is preferred over
the other ones. (the differences are in bold) Thanks a lot for helping me.

Installing on Linux

If you are running a Linux operating system, you can install the RRD MA
using RPM distributions or in a non-
RPM distribution. If you are using Debian, you need to install the RRD
MA using Debian packages.

To install using RPM distributions:
1. Log on as root to the machine on which you want to host the RRD MA.
2. Check that you have installed the dependency RPMs (see Installing
Pre-requisite Software Using Packages on page 4).
Go to one of the following locations:
http://downloads.perfsonar.eu/bundles/perfsonar-mdm-bundle/3.0/
http://www.perfsonar.net/download/bundles/perfsonar-mdm-bundle/3.0/
4. Download the latest rpm file available. For example:
geant2-java-rrd-ma-3.0-1.i386.rpm (for 32 bit machines)
geant2-java-rrd-ma-3.0-1.x86_64.rpm (for 64 bit machines)
5. Install the RDD MA web service. For example:
*rpm -i geant2-java-rrd-ma-3.0-1.i386.rpm*
*6. Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to the following value:
export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:/usr/lib:/opt/perfsonar/services/geant2-java-rrd-ma/WEBINF/
contrib/rrdjtool/build*
7. Start or restart Tomcat to finish the installation (see Starting and
Stopping Tomcat on page 7).
Once you have finished installing, it is recommended that you test your
installation.

And the second section:

To install the RPM files in a non-RPM Linux distribution:
1. Check that you have installed the dependency RPMs (see Installing
Pre-requisite Software Using
Packages on page 4).
2. Go to one of the following locations:
http://downloads.perfsonar.eu/bundles/perfsonar-mdm-bundle/3.0/
http://www.perfsonar.net/download/bundles/perfsonar-mdm-bundle/3.0/
3. Download the latest rpm file available. For example:
geant2-java-rrd-ma-3.0-1.i386.rpm (for 32 bit machines)
geant2-java-rrd-ma-3.0-1.x86_64.rpm (for 64 bit machines)
4. Install the RDD MA web service. For example:
*rpm -i --nodeps geant2-java-rrd-ma-3.0-1.i386.rpm*
5. Start or restart Tomcat to finish the installation (see Starting and
Stopping Tomcat on page 7).
Once you have finished installing, it is recommended that you test your
installation.

Thanks,
