perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Jochen Reinwand <>]

Hi Christian,

the advice is simple: Do not try to install a Fedora RPM on an openSUSE 
system. Perhaps it's working using --nodeps, but I'm not sure. perfSONAR-MDM 
is not supporting openSUSE actively, but there are system independent ways of 
installing the software. 
I just searched for the CPAN style tarball, but I cannot find it. We will  
make it available asap.

regards,
Jochen
